Wayne Hills Hosting 2017 RDGA Two-Person Four-Ball on May 20

Wayne Hills Country Club, above, hosts the annual RDGA Two Person Four Ball on Saturday, May 20.
Coming up next on the RDGA Tournament Schedule is our annual Two Person Four Ball (Best Ball), hosted this year by Wayne Hills Country Club in Lyons, on Saturday, May 20.

Open to all golfers with a current USGA GHIN Handicap Index issued by the RDGA or an RDGA Member Club – including men and women, ages 18 and above – the cost to enter is $160 per two-person team and includes the use of the range, cart, golf and prizes. Following play, contestants will be treated to a selection of hors d’ouvres during scoring and distribution of prizes.

Unlike the Two Person Scramble, the Two Person Four Ball format allows each player to play their own ball, with the best score of the two players counting as the team score on each hole. Flights for this event will based on the current lowest RDGA/USGA Handicap Index of the team members.

Other features of this competition:

  • Each member of the overall winning Men’s Championship Flight team playing from the Blue Tees at 6,638 yards (plus ties) earns an exemption to the 2017 RDGA District Championship – John H. Ryan Memorial in July.
  • In the Women’s Flight (which will play from the Silver Tees at 5,100 yards) prizes will be awarded to the teams with the low Net score and the low Gross score – with players from the team (or teams) with the lowest gross score earning exemptions to the 2017 RDGA Women’s Championship – Danielle E. Downey Memorial in July.
  • Also, for those men’s teams not playing for the the Ryan Memorial exemptions – there will be a Men’s Black Tee Flight, with play being contested from a distance of 5,587 yards.

Located in the genty rolling hills of the Finger Lakes Region East of Rochester, Wayne Hills Country Club is located in Lyons and offers an 18 hole championship layout that is a must-play for any golfer.

The deadline to enter the 2017 RDGA Two Person Four Ball is Saturday, May 13.
