The Bays on Coleman Inaugural Member-Guest Tournament
Official Rules & Regulations
When:
Tournament play will run from February 1st - February 28th, 2025
Where:
All rounds must be played at The Bays on Coleman facility on our top-of-the-line Trackman simulators.
Course:
The Member-Guest course will be selected and posted by The Bays on Coleman before the tournament begins.
Format & Scoring Format:
The tournament is a Stroke-play Best Ball format, which means that only the best score on the team for each hole is counted. Each team may play up to four rounds. The best score from their rounds will count as their final score. If the ball is within 8 feet of the pin, our Trackman systems will auto-putt for a single stroke.
Eligible Teams:
This tournament requires two players per team. In order to participate, at least one player per team must be a member at The Bays on Coleman. Memberships are available for purchase at www.thebaysgolf.com. Members must be onboarded before play and in order to be eligible. Players 18+ are eligible to share in cash prizes. Teams must remain the same throughout the tournament. Each participant may only compete on one team with no substitutions. All players must have and be logged into their trackman app for their scores to be counted. Play must be done at The Bays on Coleman in order to be eligible.
Handicap and Skill Level:
You may use either your Trackman or GHIN handicap, which must be emailed to and affirmatively accepted by The Bays before your round begins. GHIN numbers may be sent to manager@thebaysgolf.com. DO NOT BEGIN PLAY UNTIL YOUR GHIN HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE BAYS. All players without an eligible handicap will default to “scratch” golfers. Please be sure to identify your gender on your Trackman app before beginning to ensure you are playing from the appropriate pins.
Tiebreaker Rules:
If a tie occurs, a playoff round will be held on the same course, with only the playoff score counting. If the playoff round results in another tie, the winner will be determined by a closest-to-the-pin challenge on a hole selected by The Bays on Coleman until a winner is awarded.
Prizes & Payouts Grand Prize:
The winning team will receive a $1,000 cash prize, split evenly between the Member and Guest. In the event the winning team is composed in part of a minor, the cash prize will be awarded in its entirety to the Bays on Coleman member (all members being above the age of 21).
Additional Prizes:
Additional prizes may be available and announced throughout the contest. The rules and awards may be announced for these side contests and side prizes throughout the duration of the tournament and do not impact the contest prize.
Cheating & Disqualification:
Any attempt to manipulate the simulator, substitute players for swings, or alter gameplay in a dishonest manner will result in immediate disqualification. The Bays on Coleman reserves the right to disqualify any team at its sole discretion, with or without cause. We reserve the right to monitor play onsite or remotely to verify compliance with rules and accuracy of scoring.
Waivers:
All participants must be registered through our Member Agreement, which includes a facility waiver and release of liability, before play and immediately upon entering The Bays on Coleman. If a team is composed of a minor, a parent or legal guardian must complete a guest waiver on behalf of said player before the minor may enter the facility. Waivers are available by scanning the QR codes posted in every bay or by sending an email request to manager@thebaysgolf.com to be signed in advance.
