The Winter Cup was wonderful and successful! Everyone enjoyed it and Soboba Springs golf course was the perfect place for the Winter Cup!
Everyone is going to get a fair share of prizes! I will post the results below which will include Scramble, Shamble, Best Ball, and Match Play as well as CTP winners.

Good morning, participants. Below is a list of golfers who have responded if they plan to play a practice round at Hemet Golf Club. For other golfers who have not responded yet, you will need to let me know by this Thursday if you are still planning to play at Hemet. Next week I will confirm the tee times with Hemet Golf Pro Shop. I booked 24 golfers. If you have not responded to the questionnaire, please go to this site. https://forms.gle/CBTEwB3iwe9FfRSSAThanks!
Below is the roster for the Winter Cup. Captain Jeff Bravin named his team – Deaf Birdies Gurus and Captain Clarke Brooke named his team – Deaf Dimples. Cool names!
Captains will get in touch with you as they will work on pairings for Saturday, Feb. 26th. Matches between teams will be determined at Emilio’s Mexican Restaurant when we meet for kick-off dinner.
I am sending this to Las Vegas’ oddsmakers and they will let us know which team is favorite. ?

How will players be selected on the team? Captain from each team will select players in “draft” style prior to the Cup.
How many players will be on each team? Maximum number of golfers will be 16 golfers per team for the total of 32 golfers. The number must be even.
Will handicap be used to determine fair play? Yes, handicap will be used for competition. This will create fair and balance competition.
Which handicap do you use to provide us? The following method we will use to include is as follows:
1. GHIN
2. Member of local golf club
3. Deaf golf association
4. Local deaf golf club
One will be required to produce valid handicap in order to participate in the
Cup.
What formula will be used to determine handicap for each golfer?
USGA recommends a formula and we will adopt this formula for the Cup.
Example:
Golfer A – HC is 8
Golfer B – HC is 20
Golfer A – 8 x 35% = 2.8 (round off to 3)
Golfer B – 20 x 15% = 3
Combine both HC equals 6 and it will be HC 6 for the team.
Match play individual HC will be used.
How will the winner of the Cup be determined?
1st Day – 1 point for each match in three round of 9 holes.
3rd Day – 2 points for each match.
For example, based on 32 golfers, for the first 2 days 8 teams will play other 8 teams so the maximum points possible is 8 points. Last day there will be 16 matches and the maximum points possible is 32 points.
Total of three days will determine the winning of the Cup.
If the match results in a tie, it will be halved which is ½ point for the first two days and 1 point for the last day.
What is included in the Chipping Contest? There will be 3 parts of the chipping contest. Prizes will be split to 3 prizes.
Chipping contest #1 – 80 yards from green
Chipping contest #2 – 40 yards from green
Chipping contest #3 – outside of green near fringe area
Putting contest – There will be a putting contest. We will determine which type of putting contest at that time of Cup.
CTP (Closest to The Pin) – There will be 4 CTPs during the tournament.
First day (Team Shamble) hole #4 and #14 will be used for CTPs. Second day (Best Ball) hole #8 and #16 will be used for CTPs.
Weather – Normally the temperature in mid-November is 75.
