If you enter on time, you will be able to participate in as many events as you desire, if space is available.
You may enter tournaments in any one of two ways:
All members can create a KMC Account by signing in with your name and use your GHIN number as a password. You can change your password at that time for security/privacy reasons. Once your account has been activated, you can manage your profile and keep track of all your KMC financial and tournament transactions. You can sign up for tournaments on the website prior to the deadline, as well as any side pots. You can also withdraw from a tournament through your KMC Account, as long as it is before the entry deadline.
After the 2 week cut off you can join the wait list via the website. If there are any cancellations, members will be called in order of entry onto the wait list for entry into the tournament. You may also show up the day of the event and be placed on a stand-by list in case of a "no-show". This stand-by list is on a first come, first served basis and you must be physically present to sign up.
You may withdraw from a tournament a minimum of two weeks prior to the tournament and receive full credit. Since we pay the City in advance, if we have less than two weeks notice, you may forfeit your entry fee if we cannot fill your spot from the wait list. E-Mail or call one of the Co-Tournament Chairman Bob Knutson or Steve Jewell to withdraw. You can also withdraw from a tournament through your KMC Account, as long as it is before the entry deadline.
In the event that a team member is a no-show, on the day of the tournament, the Committee will do its' best to come up with a way to still include the team in the regular tournament results. This may include "blind drawing" a player from another team to complete a score, one player on the team playing 2 balls, etc. Rules for this will be set on the day of the tournament and available at the check-in table on the daily tournament rules sheet. ALL decisions will be FINAL. NOTE: Because of the importance of maintaining the integrity of our team tournaments, no-shows at any team tournaments may be barred from participating in future team tournaments. Also see the Calcutta Auction Events section on page 8.
Tee Times will be available the Wednesday prior to each event. They will be E-Mailed to members and also be available on our website at www.kennedymensclub.com. In the event that you don't have e-mail or access to the internet, on the Thursday prior to the tournament, you may call the Pro Shop of the course we are playing for the given event. Use the following numbers:
Kennedy Pro Shop: 720-865-0720
Wellshire Pro Shop: 303-757-1352
You MUST check-in AT LEAST 30 MINUTES prior to your tee time ( one hour prior to the Silver, Gold & Bronze). This will give you time to familiarize yourself with the Rules of Play for the day and get to the first tee on time. If you fail to check in on time, your spot MAY be given to someone on stand-by. If you are running late or cannot play, contact the Pro Shop to alert the Committee or contact one of the Co - Tournament Chairmen to advise us of your situation.
For Net (handicapped) events, your most recent USGA Home Course Index (adjusted for the course slope, tees, and USGA guidelines) will be used. In team events, your handicap may be reduced to 80% or 90% according to the CGA (Colorado Golf Assn) and USGA Team Play Guidelines. NOTE: The Committee may, at any time during the season, adjust a club members handicap under any circumstance it feels necessary to do so. Before any adjustment, the Committee will explain the reasons to the player and will give the player an opportunity to explain any circumstances applicable to the proposed adjustment. If you have questions about any handicap adjustments, please contact the KMC Handicap Chairman, Dave Cole.
In all of our tournaments, our handicap committee will post the scores for every participant. Please DO NOT post your own scores for any KMC tournament event. For any other casual round of golf that you play, YOU MUST post your score. The GHIN system will be available for you to start posting scores on March 15th of each year. Any member who is found to be playing casual rounds of golf and not posting those scores could be subject to a handicap adjustment by both the KMC Handicap Chairman and the CGA/USGA. Please post your scores the day you play via the GHIN App, at the course kiosk or online at www.ghin.com. New Members: In our first tournament we will have an extra flight just for new members who don't have an established USGA handicap. In order for you to be handicapped in our 2nd tournament, you MUST have at least 3 scores (54 holes) posted under your GHIN number. If you have fewer than 3 scores posted you can play, but you will play in the 1st flight as scratch and receive no strokes. In order for you to participate in our 5th tournament (the 2-man 2-day on June 1st and 2nd), you MUST have at least 8 scores posted. You will be INELIGIBLE to participate in ANY TEAM EVENTS until you have at least 8 scores posted. Please contact Dave Cole for any questions or information on handicaps and/or posting of scores.
Online scoring is required and considered official. We will also issue paper scorecards to be used for backup scoring to compare to your online score before attestation.
Any given event will pay the field between 30 and 60 percent. The certificate amounts will be registered in the City of Denver computer system and can be used at any City of Denver Pro Shop. Winnings can be used for greens fees, carts, and/or merchandise. Be prepared to give your GHIN number to the pro shop to redeem your winnings.
Record all of your scores on your scorecard as "GROSS" -- NOT net scores. Gross is without handicap strokes - Net is subtracting strokes to adjust for handicap. Except for KMC Local Rules, all tournaments will be conducted according to the USGA rules of golf. NOTE: If special rules are in effect, you will be notified by email and/or at the check-in table the day of the event.
In addition to the payouts, there are cash pots for other contests during each event. These are not funded through membership dues and require additional entry fees. For each tournament, there will be "pots" for the following:
Cash payouts will be credited to your Kennedy Men's Club account.
We have instituted a Senior and Super Senior designation for players this year. A player will be considered a Senior if your age is 65 or older. Players that are a Senior may opt to move up and will be assigned to the set of tees in front of the tees for your assigned flight. Eg. if your flight is assigned to the Bronze tees you will be moved up to the Bronze-Gold combo tees, if the flight is assigned to the Bronze-Gold you will be moved up to the Gold tees. A player will be considered a Super Senior if your age is 75 or older. Players that are a Super Senior may opt to move up to a tee set of their choice including the Silver tees. When a player moves up they will get the course handicap based on the slope and rating of the tee played.
