Our last Men's event of the year will be a one-day Member/Member Saturday 4 best ball net event at 90 % handicap. When the sign up is closed, Friday night the week before, 50% of the golfers with the lowest handicaps will be the (A Player) and the remaining 50% of the golfers will be the (B Player). The "A" Players will have an opportunity to bid for the "B" Player of their choice using an online auction. Think of it as Internet Dating or an EBAY auction. The entry fee will be $100 per person and will go into the Player's Pool. We will have a "Stag Dinner on the Friday night before the event and your account will be charged for the dinner. We will have bidding for a team Calcutta on Thursday night.
A website will be created and show the initial pairings based on handicap index, the lowest A with highest B, etc "A" players can then submit bids other "B" players. The highest bid will win that "B" player. The field will change every time someone is out bid. The "A" Players are encouraged to bid for more than one "B" Player even though you will only win one. If you get outbid, you will be assigned the next "B" player where your bid is the highest. Otherwise, you will be paired with the next "B" player not purchased. The bidding will be in $10 increments above $100 with the difference above $100 added to the Pool. The total pool at any time during the bidding will be listed on the Web Site. The winning shares will be 1st net 50%. 2nd net 25%, 3rd net 15 % and low gross 10%. If you win, the "A" Player will receive a pro rata pay out based on his investment. HOWEVER, the "A" Player must allow the "B" player to buy up to 50% of their team. "Partnerships" between members during the auction is encouraged. The auction process will end randomly on Thursday afternoon between 1PM and 3PM, the random time will be selected by a member of the proshop staff.
