Welcome back to springtime at CPCC!
This message is for all who participated in last year’s Wednesday men’s league. Last year, we experimented with expanding our league to include as many players as possible, reaching 112 participants (with 87 members and 25 non-members). After gathering feedback and consulting with the board of trustees and experienced league organizers, we’ve made some adjustments to accommodate our growing membership and ensure that joining the league remains a CPCC member benefit. Please review the following updates carefully:
- Format: The format remains unchanged, with 2-man best ball played with the same partner throughout the season. All other league rules and details will be shared once the player field is set. A $100 per player fee will continue to contribute towards weekly prizes and a delightful end-of-season dinner.
- Field Size: We will reduce the field to 96 players, organized into 6 flights with 8 teams in each flight. There will be no bye weeks this year.
- Handicaps: Active GHIN handicaps will be required for all players, aligning with standard league practices.
- Priority for CPCC Members: CPCC members will have priority for league participation. Returning members who played last year, as well as those intending to join CPCC this year, will have until 5:00 pm on 4/4/24 to secure their spot in the league. Members can register themselves and their partners via email, phone, or in person.
- Registration: Once we’ve reached our quota of returning member/players by 4/4/24, registration will open to other CPCC members on a first-come-first-served basis. Some members have already expressed interest in joining.
- Non-member Partners: For the 13 members who had non-member partners last year, if we fill the league with 96 members, they will need to find new member/partners. However, if spots remain unfilled, these 13 will have priority to keep their non-member partners from last year. Non-members from last year may also join CPCC this season to participate.
- Assistance with Partners: We will assist players in finding new partners if needed, based on handicaps and other relevant criteria.
- League Dates: The league will commence on 5/8/24 and conclude on 8/28/24. We aim to have the league fully organized by 5/2/24, if not earlier.
With the course set to open early this spring, we look forward to welcoming you all back soon!
Respectfully,
Andy Bladyka, President & George Heslin, CPCC Golf Professional
