LOCAL TOURNAMENTS PLfcNTIRJI
Help Support Local Charity
At Tourney Of Your Choice
If there is one enterprise that Brunswick County and our golf courses arc
known for, it is conducting fund-raising tournaments for good causes and
charitable organizations. Many o!
these events occur in the months of
June and July.
All of our golf courses take pride
in contributing to a wide variety of
fund-raising events and they do a re
ally spectacular job. Not only do the
natives enjoy these tournaments, but
golfers from far and wide come to
join in the merriment. Golfers of all
levels of ability find a sincere invest
ment in community spirit. They also go for the "fun and games" that are of
fered at fund-raising events.
I have seen golfers shell out S5 try ing to hit a small circle on a par- 3
green, knowing full well that their chances of reaching the green isn't better
than 3 to 1 . The long drive holes are also ever popular contests.
Most of these tournamenLs arc captain's choice formats which keeps
everybody in the game ami allows maximum advantage for Mulligans.
Who Is The Captain?
I frequently enjoy noting who the "captain" is and then watching w ho
makes the decisions on which hall to play.
There are several popular tactics employed in selecting ihe ball to be
used for the next shot. It is also a matter of some high strategy deciding
which member of the team will hit first, second, etc. Some teams insist on
the best golfer hitting last off the tee. Others want an straight consistent
player to fire it up first and get a ball on the short grass so the tx >i or longest
driver can hit second with less pressure than would be the case il he hit last.
On the putting green the rotation often differs from thai used on the tee
or in the fairway. Most groups save the best putter until last and lead off
w ith the puller that is most likely to miss hole on the "Pro Side" o! the cup il
he does nol get the ball in the hole. This gives everyone who follows a good
read on the line and the speed of the pun.
The interesting aspect of captain's choice putting is thai some teams pick
a player who may not be up to snuff from tee to green, but who can really
pui the "rights out on the green. Really good putters are also very likely to he
good chippcrs as well.
I have never been a big fan of putting when 1 am not on the surface of
the green. Normally, I would only do it when the shot calls lor a delicate
downhill stroke which will be difficult to stop near ihe hole.
I would also prefer to have very little light fringe to negotiate before
putting from off the green.
However, you can see all sorts of unusual tactics in try ing to hole out
during a captain's choice event
