Given this very odd year and the fact that we cannot do a formal Closing Field Day, your Games Captain has suggested we do a Nassau Game for Tuesday, September 29. It is an easy game and one that can be decided on the day but still brings a little fun and gamewomanship (now that has stumped spellcheck!) into the day. Signup will be digital.
A Nassau is basically broken up into three bets -- low NET front nine score, low NET back nine score and low NET total score. There are no ties; there must be a winner for money to be exchanged.
- I suggest a $2 Nassau bet. So bring 3 toonies or 6 loonies!
- If you lose all your bets, the most you can lose is $6.
- Assuming a $2 bet,
- Win low net for the front 9, win $6.00 ($8.00 including your own $2.00).
- Win low net for the back 9, win $6.00.
- Win low net for 18 holes you win $6.00 OR $18.00 if you won all 3 bets.
If your foursome does not want to play the Nassau game, just play as you normally would. There is no grand prize, no jumping into the pond on #13 and no dousing the Games Captain with champagne - unless she can have a glass first....well ...frankly... the bottle.
Don't worry about strokes/hole - just use your handicap for 18 holes. Divide by it 2 for the front nine and the back nine. Not 100% accurate but not an issue for this kind of game.
You can all crow about your vertiginous paths to victory at the 19th hole.
So - go out there and have fun.
