NCGA Tournament Qualifying for 2012

Qualifying for each NCGA tournament as a member of the Golf Club at Fremont
Park will occur at a designated home and away event as described below. For
those that want to be included in NCGA qualifying, your scores with handicap
at each designated GCFP event will also be used as NCGA qualifying scores,
but adjusted according to eligibility requirements.
Four-Ball Net: 2-Person better ball teams. Qualifying to represent us at a sectional event
occurs during March. We will use our March home and Sunol scores to establish the
best-ball scores for each team at each course. The best scores in order can choose the
Four-Ball or Zone representation. See requirements below for more info. Seniors: The
events in TBD will be qualifier for teams with players aged 55 or older as of September 7,
2011. Alert tournament director if you want to participate in Senior qualifying. Handicap
limit of 40.4
Zone Championship: Two, 2-Person teams qualify to represent us as our 4-person team
at a regional event. Qualifying to represent us at a sectional event occurs during March.
We will use March scores to establish the best-ball scores for each team at each course.
The best scores in order can choose the Four-Ball or Zone representation. See
requirements below for more info.
Net Amateur: Three individuals. Qualifying to represent us at a sectional event occurs at
home and away events in July. We will use tournament scores in these events to
establish the scores for NCGA qualifying. The total cumulative score will determine
qualifiers. See requirements below for more info. Update: If there is little to no interest
in this event, we will go with a fun event instead.
Tie Breakers. Tie breakers will be determined by home scores in this order...best score,
best final nine, best final six, best final three, best final hole, coin toss.
Canceled tournaments. As long as one of the designated qualifying events is played,
that event will count as the qualifier. If all qualifying events are canceled an emergency
home event will be called by the Board of Directors. You must be entered in the first
qualifying event, even if canceled, to qualify in subsequent events.
Eligibility
We are members of the East Bay Zone. Any member of the Golf Club at Fremont Park
that is currently eligible can represent the club at local and regional NCGA qualifying
events. Note: players must be very comfortable with their knowledge of the Rules of Golf. They
need to know when to call a penalty and what to do if another player calls one on them.
