Entry/Registration:

Entry to Social Days will be free for MDGC Members and to first time social day players.  The Non-Member entry fee will be $10, payable through the MDGC online store.  No cash will be accepted on the day.

Registration will be open ~2 weeks prior to each event and will be announced on Facebook and the MDGC website.   Please login to your Metrix account to register.

1. The registration form does have a number of new questions regarding club membership, photography permissions & questions for new players and U18 players that help us group players.
2. Players will need to select their tee time and grouping, in order to manage numbers across the 2 tee times.  Metrix administrators will shuffle groups (not tee times) to manage new players & balance numbers around the course. 

There will be a short players meeting 15mins prior to each round which will cover course set-up, prize sponsorship, confirm groupings & any special considerations for the day.

 

Bag-Tag Challenge:

At each Social Day, MDGC members play for the lowest bag tag in each group.  Tags will be issued to members at the beginning of each year and it is expected that each member brings their tag to each event.  At the end of each social day, tags are swapped based on lowest raw score in your groups. Members are encouraged to play for tags in casual rounds outside of the social days as well. It adds a bit of friendly competition to the casual rounds.

 

Monthly Prizes:

At each Social Day the following prizes will be determined & awarded by the SD Coordinator.  The raw score prizes will only be available to MDGC members.

• Handicap Winner: Based on the lowest Metrix HC score on the day (must have a Metrix HC).
• Raw score Winner: Based on the lowest raw score on the day **
• CTB Open: Closest to the basket on 1 hole selected by the SD Coordinator.
• CTB Women/U15 Juniors: Closest to the basket on 1 hole selected by the SD Coordinator. 
• Further prizes may be added as more sponsors come on board.

** A tie in the raw score category will be split using:

1. A play-off on Hole #10.
2. If that is tied; then CTB on Hole #10 will be used to determine the winner.
3. Note: The 8am raw score winner will need to set a CTB in case their score is matched in the 1030am round.

 

Season Prizes:

The raw score prizes will only be open to MDGC Members:

1. Overall Season Champion (Raw Score) – Men: Based on Metrix dynamic points system from 10 best events

Background Information:

Metrix Handicap System:

The Metrix handicap system will be used to provide players of all abilities an opportunity to win the HC prize by playing well compared to their handicap.  Players will receive a Metrix rating after playing 3 competition rounds at a rated course (BH, SC or RL).

For those who want to know, your Metrix handicap is determined by:

(1000- [your Metrix rating])/(course stroke rating)

BH, SC & RL currently have course stroke rating of 12, so a 760 rated player would have a HC of 20.

 

Season Points system.

The 2022 season champion will be determined by a Metrix points system based on raw score finishing position across each player’s best 10 events.  Because we have field sizes that can vary substantially, we are going to use the Dynamic points-based system within Metrix (explained below). 

We are working with Metrix to develop a similar points system that would be based on Handicap finishing position and this would use each player’s best 20 events, to further encourage social players to participate in as many Social Days as they can.  We will communicate if & when this comes into effect. 

 

Dynamic points system:

The winner of each event will receive 100 pts, with points scaled down to 1 based on the number of players in each event.  The median placed finisher (eg 15^th out of 30) will receiving 50pts.  In the event of a tied position, then each player would receive maximum points for that finishing position & field size.

See example from Bald Hill Feb 13^th Social Day:

1st	100	Eq 10th	69	Eq 20th	34
Equal 1st	100	12th	62	22nd	28
3rd	93	13th	58	Eq 22nd	28
4th	90	14th	55	24th	21
Eq 4th	90	Eq 14th	55	25th	17
6th	83	16th	48	26th	13
7th	79	17th	45	27th	10
8th	76	Eq 17th	45	28th	7
Eq 8th	76	19th	38	29th	3
10th	69	20th	34
