2021 Member Event Introductory
2020 is finally over and we can only go up from here! We are scheduled to have all kinds
of events that can be fun for all! We will host golf competitions for all varying ages and skills, so
who is ready to play?
There have been several improvements to the facilities since 2017, with the cost
exceeding $1,000,000. The greens were converted from the aging bent grass to the fantastic
Champion Ultra Dwarf Bermuda. The roofs were replaced on the range building and the on-
course bathroom facility. The windows as well as the front doors were replaced in the clubhouse,
as well as a full remodel inside of the golf shop. The steps to the back patio of the clubhouse and
the front steps from the parking lot were repaired, and an awning was added over the patio. The
pavilion was enclosed and several tee-boxes on the course were sodded and over 300 trees were
removed to help with sunlight for turf growth. Irrigation improvements were made all over the
course and the clubhouse grounds which will help tremendously in dry times of the year. A new
practice putting green was installed behind the driving range and improvements to the landscape
were made around the clubhouse and throughout the course. The renovations did not stop there.
Last year, 2020, we continued with our cart path improvement plan. We also started replacing
and installing railroad ties and upgrading the facility with new landscaping and individual
irrigation heads. This year, we plan to clean the pond at #5 green, clean the #12 lake and enlarge
the forward tee, remove some more trees throughout the property, improve and enlarge the
lesson tee area, clean some underbrush on the course and continue our beautification project, and
develop a new scorecard along with several other improvements. As you can see there is a lot of
work going on at Wildwood Green in order to improve our services and the experience of being
a member!
We have many popular events scheduled this year which include a Ryder Cup event,
Masters Par 3 Contest, Drive Chip Putt, 18-hole and 9-hole Couples Events, PGA Pools, and so
much more. We hope everyone enjoys our robust member events schedule this year! See pages
7-8 on information regarding tournaments, handicapping, flighting, and handicap allowances to
be sure you are well informed about how we execute our events.
Thank you so much for being a member at Wildwood Green Golf Club and please help us
by continuing to fill out comment cards. Let us know how we can continue to improve our
events!

Tournament Information,
Flighting Information, & Regulations
Competition Tees: Each competitor’s set of tees to be played will be assigned to the competitor based on
the set of tees most commonly played from in their most recent handicap revision. In the event other courses
have been played, the staff will assign a tee based on the other course’s rating closest to that of a set of tees at
Wildwood Green.
Event Flighting: Events will be flighted in the Spring & Fall Member-Member events, the Tournament of
Champions event, and the Club Championship. For other club events flights will depend on field size. When
there are 15 or more teams (30+ competitors) flights will be created and broken down as evenly as possible.
Flight Basis: Flights will be created by the lower handicap index of the team member using the current
handicap index of the individual as of the day of the signup deadline.
Handicap Indexes: The handicap index used for the event competitor will be the handicap index of each
person on the day of the event signup deadline.
Gross Payouts – Gross will only be paid out in Flight 1 of a flighted event.
Handicap Allowances: *Please see the attached Appendix C document from the USGA regarding handicap
allowances*
Net handicaps when playing your own ball with a partner(s) will be reduced by 10% or 5% depending on your
gender. 90% of the course handicap will be used for male competitors and 95% of the course handicap will be
used for female competitors.
During net events where competitors play their own ball, if the difference between the two teammates’
course handicap is more than 8 strokes after the 10% or 5% allowance, we will subtract an additional
10% from both players.
50% of the male competitor’s course handicap will be used and 55% of the female’s course handicap will
be used in a Texas Scramble format.
10% of the combined team course handicap will be used in an 18 Hole Scramble format.
5% of the combined team course handicap will be used in a 9 Hole Scramble format.
During match play events, each competitor will receive 100% of their course handicap and then the low
course handicap will play as a zero and the higher course handicap will receive the difference in strokes.
8
Handicap Allowances
Handicap allowances are designed to provide equity for players of all levels of ability in each format of play,
over both 9 holes and 18 holes. Handicap allowances are applied to the Course Handicap as the final step in
calculating a player’s Playing Handicap (see Rule 6.1 Course Handicap Calculation and Rule 6.2 Playing
Handicap Calculation).
The National Association is responsible for establishing handicap allowances or it can delegate this
responsibility to a Regional Golf Association or golf club.
The following table sets out the recommended handicap allowances based on medium-sized field net events.
The allowances may be adjusted based on field size and the desired equity (see Interpretation C/1 ):
Format of Play Type of Round Recommended Handicap Allowance
Individual 95%
Individual Stableford 95%
Individual Par/Bogey 95%
Stroke play Individual Maximum Score 95%
Four-Ball 85%
Four-Ball Stableford 85%
Four-Ball Par/Bogey 90%
Individual 100%
Match Play
Four-Ball 90%
Foursomes 50% of combined team handicap
Greensomes 60% low handicap + 40% high handicap
Pinehurst/Chapman 60% low handicap + 40% high handicap
Best 1 of 4 stroke play 75%
Best 2 of 4 stroke play 85%
Best 3 of 4 stroke play 100%
All 4 of 4 stroke play 100%
Other
25%/20%/15%/10%
Scramble (4 players)
from lowest to highest handicap
Scramble (2 players) 35% low/15% high
Total score of 2 match play 100%
Best 1 of 4 Par/Bogey 75%
Best 2 of 4 Par/Bogey 80%
Best 3 of 4 Par/Bogey 90%
4 of 4 Par/Bogey 100%
Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, players with a ‘plus’ Playing Handicap give strokes back to the
course, beginning at the hole with stroke index 18. For example, a player with a Playing Handicap of +2 would
give strokes back to the course at the holes with stroke index 18 and 17. When handicap allowances are applied,
a player with a plus Playing Handicap moves up towards zero including rounding. This is to maintain the same
relative difference between Playing Handicaps.

Social Events
We have many social events planned this year. Our goal is to eventually become a private
golf club so we are going to host more social events and improving member benefits while
working towards our goal. The most popular social event we hold year after year is our poker
nights which are scheduled throughout the fall and winter months. With golf and social events
scheduled year-round your enjoyment at the club never ends! If there are any social events that
you would like to see added to our event schedule, please fill out a comment card with your
requests. More information about a few of these special social events can be found below.
Poker Night: The game of Texas Hold ‘Em is played at all of our scheduled poker
nights. The participants will be the dealers for the games throughout the evening. Food and
drinks are not included in the entry fee but will be available to purchase throughout the night.
Member Holiday Party: Why just spend the holidays with family, when you can rejoice
with your club family as well? The Member Holiday Party is the perfect scene to have fun and
fellowship during the holiday season. This night will not be silent as we listen to Christmas
songs and have some laughs! Secret Santa will also be played during the night as well as door
prizes being handed out. Drink specials will be offered and food will be included with the event!
Cookouts: Can you name anything better than hanging out with good friends, sharing
laughs, and enjoying a delicious Champions Grille burger or hotdog? Neither can I! Cookouts
will be hosted by Champions Grille to give you all the opportunity to fellowship with one
another and have a great time. Don’t miss out on all the fun!
Couples Golf
We host our Couples Golf events throughout the Fall, Spring and Summer seasons. These 9-hole
golf events are always a fun way to meet other couples at the club. We have had incredible
participation over the past few years and it seems that every year the participation grows and it
has turned into our most popular 9-hole competition. Our couple’s events are held Sunday
evenings and then followed by a delicious dinner provided by Champions Grille. This year we
have included an 18-hole couples Member-Guest to kick off the season!
The format for most of our couple events is a four-person team, net captain’s choice. Two
couples will be paired together and a percentage of their team handicap is factored in to get their
final net score. During the golf tournament we host proximity games for both men and women
and prizes will be available for each. Spouses who do not play golf are welcome to join us for
dinner after play for a small fee. We hope to see all the couples out at these events this year!11
Master’s Par 3 Contest
To kick off Masters Week, we will be holding our very own Par 3 Contest! Nine holes
will be set up to play as par 3s. Compete against others to be crowned our Par 3 Champion! Open
to all active members, small entry fee, and a chance to win gift cards and other prizes. Closest to
the pin prizes will also be awarded. Mark your calendars today!

some bragging rights and some shop credit! Open to all active members. Come show us how

different matches played throughout the two days and 4 separate 9-hole competitions occur with
players accumulating points for their team by winning or tying their match. The team with the
most points after the completion of the four matches wins! The event will be open to the first
32 players who sign up. The two, 16 person teams will be created by the golf shop based on the
player’s low 12-month handicap indexes. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary event!
2021 Club Championship
Saturday, July 31st & Sunday, August 1st
The most prestigious title at Wildwood Green has to be the title of Club Champion. This
two-day stroke play competition, which sees the club’s best golfers, will undoubtedly see great
scores again in 2021. The Club Championship will be flighted by age and then by handicap.
Flight size is solely dependent on how many people sign up in the age division. No handicap will
be used in competition and men and women will compete in separate flights.
We will also host a net division Club Championship and anyone who has a GHIN
handicap is allowed to compete in the net division. The net division will not be broken down into
flights instead it will be created with one flight. Everyone playing in the net division will use
95% percent of their course handicap. The difference in tee ratings will be factored in to the
handicaps however, to be crowned the overall men’s or women’s champion, you must play from
the blue tee markers and the red tee markers respectively and in the gross division.

Carolinas Golf Association Events
The Carolinas are home to hundreds of golf tournaments each year
that appeal to a wide range of skill levels. The CGA administers its own
calendar of championships, considered one of the strongest tournament
programs in the country, as well as USGA qualifiers for national events.
Whether you're a scratch golfer looking to qualify for the U.S. Open
or Carolinas Amateur Championship, or a mid-level handicap wanting to
participate in one of the CGA's individual or team events, there is an
opportunity for you to play. These events are open to members of CGA
Member Clubs who have up-to-date CGA/USGA handicap indexes.
The CGA annually conducts 48 championships and five team match competitions for
men, women, juniors, and seniors. Please note that you are a member of the CGA with your paid
GHIN handicap at Wildwood Green Golf Club.
The CGA conducts over 100 One-Day tournaments that are open to both men and women
with a CGA membership and an up-to-date CGA/USGA handicap index from a CGA member
club. In 2021, we plan to host the Jack Ratz Jr. Memorial, a CGA one-day event, and a senior 4-
ball event.14
50/50 Weekly Member Raffle
We will host a 50/50 weekly member raffle in order to help raise money for capital
improvements around the Wildwood Green facility. Improvements will be determined from
customer comment cards and what is feasible for the club to accomplish.
The drawing will occur at 4:00 PM each Friday throughout the year. There is one poker
chip per membership in the bowl and each membership has been assigned a number which
corresponds to what is written on the poker chip. Poker chips are placed into the bowl and a
member will draw one chip from the bowl. (Participants must pay their $5 entry each week to
be eligible to win.) Each Friday when the chip is drawn, we will check the number on the chip
and then find out which membership that corresponds with. If the membership has paid their $5
entry for that week, they win 50% of the pool. Each week Wildwood Green will take 50% of the
entries and put into a capital dues improvement fund. If the membership did not pay their
entry that week and no winner is determined for the week and the money carries over to
the next week. Members have the option to prepay their $5 for as many weeks as they would
like.
With almost three years under our belt hosting the 50/50 raffle (first drawing was
February 9th, 2018) we have raised a total of $44,840 from our members. Out of this total we
have paid out $22,420 in winnings. In 2019 we added benches throughout the course and we
installed an ice-water machine. In 2020, we purchased an additional ice-water machine for the
halfway house. This means you will have easy access to tasty ice-water when you are at both the
halfway house and the clubhouse. Keep entering each week and help us improve the
facility...you might be another lucky one who takes home thousands of dollars!15
2021 Major Event Pools
Every year we host Major Championship Pools at Wildwood Green in conjunction with
the PGA Tour’s major events. These individual net challenges will begin two weeks before the
Major Championship’s first round and payout will be in Wildwood Green gift cards. The final

12:00 PM. You may enter as many times as you want before the cut off!
