Oak Valley Interclub Matches
In 2023 Oak Valley will participate in Three levels - Regular Interclub , Senior Interclub and Super Senior of the Carolinas Golf Association Interclub. This is sponsored by the Club, not the MGA.
Competition Scoring: Eight players for each team will compete in one of four "four ball" matches. Each team's players will be paired by ascending handicap index, into the two man teams, with strokes awarded off the low man in each foursome. Each four ball match is playing for 1 point per hole with an additional 2 points being awared to the winning side of each match. Therefore, in each Team match 80 points are in play. The team that wins a majority of the points (40.5) is determined the winner of the team match.
Players compete with 85% of their 12 month Low Handicap Index (Low HI). Players must also have a minimum of 20 posted scores within the past 12 months
At each match, the home team charges a cart fee only. No Greens Fees are charged. 8 players will compete each match, but unlimited numbers may play behind the match.
An emphasis will be made to get all players who desire to compete included, especially new comers. Team Practice rounds will be allowed at cart fee only for the away team prior to the match. The OVGC team will make date available to all players prior to each Match.
