CGA Match Play Championship | Saturday, August 27, 2016 | Shaker Run Golf Club


Belterra was booked and was crazy expensive.  So, Commissioner did his best to create an event that was affordable and flexible so we could get as many league members as possible to attend this year's final major.

We have a $75 "All You Can Play" rate at Shaker Run Golf Club.

It's approximately a 95 minute drive from Columbus.  This means if you're over the curb at 6:30 you get there around 8:05 a.m. Plan accordingly...maybe 6:15 to be safe and have time to warm up.

Tee times start at 8:30 on the 27th.
We have four tee times held for 16 players.

Players will be seeded from 1-16 based on the final individual standings after the last week of league on Monday, August 22nd.

For the 8 players "losing" their opening match, they will be in a "Best Low Net" contest on the back nine. Everybody likes to play with a little something on the line, so the back nine is worth $60 for 1st Place Low Net and $20 for 2nd Place Low Net (if we have a full line up of 8 golfers contributing $10 each).

The 2nd 18 will be the ever-popular 2-man scramble event.  Again, if we have a full 16 players in attendance, this would be six (6) 2-man teams.  The most honest group would go off first as a 2-some, followed by the other two groups with (2) 2-man teams in each group.  The match play "final four" will follow the 2-man scrambles.

There was interest in staying somewhere near the course and then having an out-of-town "After Party."  I have reserved (8) rooms at the Hampton Inn & Suites Cincinnati/Kenwood.  This is approximately 15 minutes from the course and then an additional 15 minutes to get to downtown Cincinnati (Uber).  The room rate is $170 for Saturday night, two queen beds.
