Due to Covid-19 restrictions on our golf operations, the FLCC Men’s Member-Member and Member-Guest dates were swapped. This allows our guests more time to plan and gives us the best chance to host both events. The 2020 FLCC Member-Guest Invitational will be held: Thursday, July 30 – Saturday, August 1.
The format is very similar to previous years with one exception, we will not have the couple’s awards dinner on Saturday. Our date swap from the virus resulted in a scheduling conflict at The Cove. Instead, the awards ceremony will immediately follow the Shootout and be held on the 18th green.
- In 2019, the registration fee was $675. With a roughly 25% increase in food cost from the coronavirus, we were looking at $725 or more for this year. Without the awards dinner, the registration fee for 2020 is $575.
- With the implementation of the World Handicap System Playing Handicap, golfers can choose from the Green, White, or Blue tees. The member and the guest can even play from different tees.
- The format remains the same as last year:
- Thursday, July 30 - 18 hole practice round (One Best Ball Stroke Play), player dinner and Calcutta after.
- Friday, July 31 - 18 or 27 hole option (Four-Ball Match Play). Any member and guest who both play the Green tees with play 18 holes on Friday. All other combos (Blue-Blue, Blue-White, White-White, Blue-Green, etc.) will play 27.
- Saturday, August 1 - 18 holes (Four-Ball Match Play) and the Shootout. Award presentation immediately after on the 18th green.
- On Friday after play, our club is hosting a “Patio Friday.” We plan to open all 3 venues (Grille, Harbor Club, and The Cove) with food and live music. This is a great chance to bring spouses and guests so they can see our new venues. The cost is not included in the Member-Guest registration.
Other great ideas are being discussed and more information will be coming from the Tournament Committee. Registration details will be in this week’s Golf Gazette. We are very excited to host a great event and hope you can join us!
