Tumbleweed Two Ball (Phoenix, AZ): 2023, March 4 - Aguila Golf Course

image

Save the date: Saturday March 4th, 2023
Location: Aguila Golf Course - both 9 hole and 18 hole courses
Cost: $115 for golf (due at course day of), $20 donation to Youth on Course to confirm your spot (can DM me a receipt of donation)

Format: After a great inaugural event last year that just lacked a little juice at the end, we’ll mix it up with a new two-man team format for this year’s Phoenix event. The teams will be picked by a semi-blind draw based on handicaps.

24 players - 12 teams of 2

  • Two rounds at the short 9 hole course in the morning
    • First round - team best ball (gross)
    • Second round - team alt shot (gross)
  • Afternoon round at the Championship 18 hole course
    • highest scores from the first two rounds go off first, lowest scores last
    • Team Net Stroke (count both scores)

Pending daylight, the top 2 teams will play another alt shot round around the short course. Lowest score wins (gross).

This event was so awesome and fun last year. Good vibes the whole time.

Bump for visibility: despite being a two-person team event, this will be our Roost’s Major event with one NIT spot up for grabs. The winning team will receive an NIT spot and it will most likely go to the player with the lower net score in the 18 hole round, with the other team member being the alternate.

Looking forward to another great event! The sheet didn’t allow me to put the “+” in front of my handicap so I put a “-”, just in case that causes any confusion.

Stoked to see this filling up! 3 spots left.

Who is down to play some extra golf Friday 3/3? I am planning to drive over from ABQ and arrive around lunch time. Would love to meet up and play with some of y’all that afternoon.

I get off work at 12, so if I can get the in-laws to watch the kid I’ll be available.

Also, the new Glendale PopStroke should be open by that Saturday. No idea if it’ll be any good, but we could potentially head over there for some beers, dinner, and some competitive mini golf haha.

I went rogue from the refuge for a couple months but glad I was able to snag one of the last few spots. Stoked for this!

In Albuquerque we have the Tumbleweed Snowman as a sign of the holiday season. Not kidding.

:rotating_light:Update :rotating_light:

Currently, all 24 spots are accounted for! Deadline to confirm your spot with the $20 donation to Youth on Course is Friday, February 3rd.

Alternate spots are still available. If you would like to play, go ahead and put your name down on the list, and if there are unconfirmed spots after Feb 3rd, you can confirm a spot by making the donation.

A week or so prior to the deadline I will be sure to follow up with a reminder to anyone who hasn’t yet confirmed.

Thanks everyone, and if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

I didn’t realize I hadn’t registered for this. I have rectified this.

Looked like I could slide into the 24th slot. If that’s an error, make me the first alternate?

You’re good with the 24th spot, unfortunately we had a conflict so the original final 2 couldn’t make it.

I signed up but have just had a work conflict come up so I won’t be able to make it. I’ve removed my name from the list - hopefully next year!

This event looks awesome! I would like to signup but the sheet won’t let me add/edit?

I am a newbie on this forum, moved to chandler from Seattle in 2017, Ocotillo/Raven are the main courses that I play via Arcis Prime. Looking forward to this if there’s still room!

(Looks like there are two spots left if I can figure out how to get on the sheet)
