Championship participation in Wanaki Men’s Club is optional and available to all members. There is an entry fee for each championship which goes towards the payout fund. The tournament director will determine flights in each championship based on the handicap distribution of the participating players. Entries for club championships must be received by May 7th.
Championship brackets will be posted by the 15th of May, and matches are self-scheduled for play by the participants. These matches must occur at Wanaki golf course, and can be played during a scheduled tournament (using the same score for the match and the outing) provided the outing format is conducive to playing a match.
Match results are communicated through the filing of a Match Report. The match report form is available to members in the championships menu of the website after they have logged in. The winner of the match is responsible for the timely filing of a match report.
To make sure that the matches are completed in a timely fashion, there are deadlines for the completion of matches in each round.
- * Round 1 – June 30th
- * Round 2 – July 31st
- * Round 3 – August 31st.
- * Championship – September 30th
Important Notes:
- * If matches cannot be completed by the deadline the committee will determine the match winner.
- * If one player in a match is not able to complete that match by the deadline, that player shall forfeit the match.
- * If two players schedule a match and on the day of the match one is a no show, the player that did not appear shall forfeit the match.
- * If the match is contested with a handicap, the handicaps used will be the Wanaki WSGA Handicap Index for each player on the date the match is played and for the tees played.

During Joe’s back swing, a truck’s horn honk on number 11 turned the tide in Ron’s favor. There is an unsubstantiated rumor that it was Ron’s wife driving the truck.
