Stafford to Host RDGA Play Day in 2020
Ever wonder what it would be like to play in a tournament at one of the Rochester area's top private courses?
Ever wonder how you would react under tournament conditions?
Ever wanted to tour one of the most historic golf courses in the Rochester area during the scenic Autumn season?
Returning to the RDGA Tournament Schedule in 2020 is the popular RDGA Play Day; an event open to ALL amateur golfers - men and women, ages 18 and above - with an active USGA GHIN Handicap Index through an Rochester District Golf Association Member Club. If you've never played in an actual golf tournament before - or if you've always wanted to play one of the best courses in the area - then RDGA Play Day is for you!
RDGA Play Days are designed to be a fun, yet competitive day for golfers of all ability levels. Registration for the RDGA Play Day is between $95 per person and includes use of the club's practice facility; a cart and 18 holes of stroke play at 95-percent handicap (as per the recommendation under the new World Handicap System); as well as prizes by flight and lunch during the tournament. Contestants are welcome to request pairing in foursomes with friends who are also registered to play. The event will feature two Men's Flights and one or two Women's Flights; prizes will be awarded to the top finishers in each flight, in the form of Pro Shop gift certificates at the host club.
One of the fun features of a Play Day includes LIVE scoring updates, using the USGA Tournament Management software, in which players will be able to use their smart phones to record (and track) hole-by-hole scores during the event! SO - be sure to sign up for your FREE Tournament Management Player profile today, then download the app before playing in the event!
