• Format of play is subject to change depending on participation and course conditions.• Many of our members meet for an optional lunch in the lounge starting at 12:00 each week before
golf. After golf, we meet on the patio outside of the dining room for drinks and announcements. It’s
a wonderful time to meet members and chat in a relaxed environment.
• Everyone is expected to arrive at their cart by 1:30 to be ready for game-day instructions shortly
thereafter with a shotgun start promptly at 2:00. Our goal is a 2-hour round so that we all are back
at the club’s patio area for a time of social gathering afterwards for league announcements, and for
that day’s winner announcements.

Tournaments), except for the Member/Member and Member/Guest Tournaments. Pairings are
computer generated. Special requests for pairings WILL NOT be accepted or permitted.
• When playing in the Member/Member and Member/Guest Tournaments, the Golf Shop will
determine the mix of each team (2 players) with other team players based on handicaps in order to
keep appropriate ‘pace of play’ at all times as well as fairness for prizes.
• Prizes for Weekly Play and Tournaments will be a credit from the Classics Golf Shop. An exception
would be for the Guest in the Member/Guest Tournament as other gifts may be given out per the
Tournament Committee.
• We will continue for a second season: ‘Most Improved Player’ for The Classy Niners beginning with
Opening Day in November through the last event in March. One member of our league will be
chosen based on their handicap improvement, (based on GHIN posted scores) practice time, her
game of golf and all-around player. The decision will be made by the Pro Shop. The announcement
of the winner will be made at the Closing Day Tournament Party/Annual Meeting in April. To qualify
you must submit your scores into GHIN on a regular basis.
• The Golf Results for weekly golf and tournaments will be posted on the Website each week (see the
Document Section). Also, a list of the winners will be posted on the Bulletin Board in the women’s
locker room.
• For any questions you may have regarding Tournaments, please contact Maryann Brink, Tournament
Director at: brink214@aol.comHANDICAPS
• There is no minimum or maximum handicap to play with the Classy Niners.
• Classics members joining the league will need an ‘official’ full USGA handicap OR be working
towards completing the necessary postings using GHIN.
• If you are registered using GHIN in a state other than Florida, or a country other than the USA, this is
acceptable as the system is worldwide.
• If you do not have a GHIN number, the Golf Shop will be happy to help you register and walk you
through the process and answer any questions you may have. (This is provided with your
membership.) You can post your scores in the Golf Shop, women’s locker room and on the GHIN app
on your phone!
• It is recommended that every member posts her score by using GHIN each time she plays golf (good
or bad - with the exception of scrambles and other group play games. And depending on the game).
After a member’s GHIN number has been activated, every round she plays, whether at the Classics or
any other course, must have a true score posted in the computer so an accurate Handicap Index can
be determined. Consistently posting both good and bad scores is all a part of the “integrity” of golf.
• The purpose of having a handicap makes for fair play when playing in a league. It helps the Golf Shop
pair you with a similar partner not to mention helps when trying to balance foursomes having a wide
range of skills. It helps with Pace of Play and learning more about the game of Golf. Having a
handicap can accommodate people of all levels while keeping the game FUN.
