Sonoma Valley Golf Club
The Club Champion is the golfer that has amassed the most points at the end of the golfing season. The golfers name and year won will be engraved on the SVGC Club Champion trophy, which will be on display in the golf shop.
Points will be awarded for the winners of each flight during a tournament at Eagle Vines golf Course. No points will be awarded for away tournaments (since all members may not be able to participate in those) or for team tournaments (where players may be asked to pick up and continue play when the team score has already been made).
The existing Flight winners system (three Flights based upon handicaps) will be used for awarding points, as follows: 5 for the winner, 4 for second, 3 for third, 2 for fourth place and 1 for fifth place. Monies for the Flight winners will continue to be awarded after each tournament. The status of the competition will be published at least each month.
The competition is considered to have begun with the first regular tournament. It will end with an on-line announcement after the last tournament played in December.
