Super Bowl Sunday at The Woodlands
As
always, The Woodlands will be the place to be on Super Bowl Sunday.
The day starts off with Breakfast in The Member’s Grill and Lounge.
Next, The Super Bowl Scramble will be played. This event is a 4-Person
Captain’s Choice Tournament. Play begins with a 12:00 PM Shotgun Start
and we will have Chili following the round. Then, to finish off the
day, we invite all of our Members at The Woodlands (and their Guests) to
come out to Tom, Derrick, Robbie, Jarell & T.J.’s Super Bowl
Extravaganza Party. We will have Square Boards, a Final Score Guess
Prize (Awesome Prize), Door Prizes, Drink Specials, Tailgate Appetizers
throughout the game, and Buckets of Five Domestic Beers for $10.00. Our
Friends from Budweiser of Columbia are helping us sponsor this party
with some great give-aways.
We
expect celebrities including Tim Sturgis and Kenny Brown to be
available for Autographs and Free Golf Advice. We might even have Kenny
Brown signing New York, New York if the Giants make it today. If K.B.
gets into the buckets of beer, we might be lucky enough to have a
hambone rendition.
Make your plans to spend the day at The Woodlands on Super Bowl Sunday.

News From January
The Polar Bear - Saturday, January 28th
After a one-week delay, the 2012 Tournament Season got underway at The Woodlands with The Polar Bear on Saturday, January 28th. Mother Nature set us back one week due to the heavy rain on January 21st. However, that proved to be a good thing. We ended up with a larger field (20 Teams Total) and MUCH BETTER weather for the 2012 Season Opener. The format for The Polar Bear was a Four-Person Texas Scramble Event. The Best Two Balls of the Team (Gross and Net) counted toward the team’s score.
As the scores rolled in, the results were fairly close. In The Gross Competition, the team of Brian Alchermes, Steve Alchermes, Rich Houghton and Russell Smith posted a score of 13 under par, 131, to clinch the top spot on the leader board. The Winning Foursome’s score was 1 shot better than the team of Jim Post, Paul Turner, Ryan Turner and Danny Stubbs who posted a 132.
Rounding out the top 3 in the Gross Competition was the team of Dennis Catoe, Bill Robbins, John Matchett and Jack Karby who fired a score of 9 under par, 135.
Scores in The Net Competition were pretty close as well – with the exception of our winning team. The powerful foursome of Daniel Voyles, Joe Griffin, Jeff Capogrossi, and Bob Powers bullied their way to a 9 shot victory posting a score of 105 (39 Under Par).
This unbelievable score posted by our winners was 10 shots clear of the second place team of Ken Brown, Steve Jones, Mike Smith, and Tim Sturgis, who posted a score of 29 under par, 115. John Culp, Bryan Fink, Steve Norris, and David Smith filled the third place spot with a score of 116.
To view the final results from the Polar Bear, please click on the Tournament Results Link above. We would like to thank everyone for playing in the first event of 2012, and congratulate all of our winners. We would also like to thank Derrick, Jarell, and Becca for the fabulous California Ranch and Sausage Flatbreads after play.
The 2012 Tournament Club
The Woodlands Golf & Country Club is pleased
to present the 2012 Tournament Schedule and 2012 Tournament Club Program. The
Tournament Club Program has been an overwhelming success and The Professional
Staff and Members at the Woodlands have been coming up with ideas that will help
continue to Maximize Tournament Participation. The 2012 Tournament Club will
once again prove to be a true win-win situation for the “Tournament Player,” and
the club itself. We have a rather diverse Tournament Schedule planned for
2012. The program will attempt to address the interests and demands of the
majority of our members.
Click Here to
find a Tournament Schedule for 2012. We have tried to avoid all conflicts,
including SCGA events, USC and Clemson Football games, and USGA Qualifying
Tournaments. The dates of the tournaments are subject to change, however, we do
not anticipate more than one or two changes. The tournament formats vary from
fun to competitive, and we will award gross and net prizes (if applicable) in
most events.
Tournament Club Fees for
2012
The Tournament Club Fee for will be $300.00 for Men and $230.00
for Ladies (Same as 2011). This fee can be billed over your February, March and
April club Statements. By joining The Tournament Club, your entry fee will be
paid for all 24 Tournament Club Events. The only fee you will have to pay the
day of the tournament is the applicable cart fee. This equates to you paying an
average entry fee of only $12.00 for each Tourney. (Including The Men’s
Member-Member where the entry fee is $100.00). This is a savings of over
$350.00. The only events not included in Tournament Club Fee will be the
Member-Guest, Senior Club Championship, and The Parent-Child Tournament. All of
the other 24 Tournament Club Events (those shown in Blue on The 2011 Tournament
Schedule) are included. Once again in 2012, All Pick The Pro Qualifying Rounds
MAY BE PLAYED on The Saturday or The Sunday of The Championship Weekend in
2012.
Another bonus of being a member of the Tournament Club will be
the opportunity and competition to become a member of one of the two “Ruby Cup”
teams. The 7th Annual Ruby Cup Matches will be played in October. Anyone
signing up for the Tournament Club will receive 150 Ruby Cup Points . The
Professional Staff will be keeping track of “Money” and “Points” leaders
throughout the year. You will receive participation points for each event in
which you participate and you will also be able to earn competition points based
on your finishes in the tournaments. This event has been a huge success over
the last six years and will be a very special weekend of golf for all of those
that make the 2012 teams.
The Tournament of Champions will return
again in 2012. It will be played on Saturday, December 9th. Winners from
designated Tournaments will earn the right to compete in this year-end finale.
We have a great 1st Prize lined up for 2012
It is easy to see that even
if you happen to miss a couple of events along the way, it is still a great
investment! If you are a serious “Tournament Player,” and plan on playing in
almost all of the events in 2012, we would encourage you to consider The
Tournament Club in 2012. More importantly, being a member of the Tournament Club
will give you the opportunity to meet new friends and playing partners.
The LGA will also still host 4 events in 2012. The LGA Kick-Off Tournament,
The LGA Member-Member Tournament, The LGA Member-Guest Tournament, and The
Year-End, LGA Round-Up Tournament.
The staff at the Woodlands Golf &
Country Club is extremely excited about the upcoming season/tournament schedule
and hope you will choose to participate in this worthwhile program. With your
help, we will continue to build on the tremendous success the club has
experienced in the past. We sincerely welcome any input you may have regarding
the Tournament Program and we look forward to a great year in 2012.
