First Annual Front Range Herf-May 3rd
We are excited to announce the CFRHN Inaugural Herf and hope that many will attend! I will definitely be attending and I strongly urge and welcome every lover of the leaf from Colorado and neighboring states, along the Front Range, and around the country to come and join us. Wives, husbands, and significant others of all types are most welcome, as are friends. The hotel is very nice for those wanting to stay the night, and the food is top notch. If you think you might be in Colorado, or think a vacation is in order, please register and join us (or post here until the registration link is active).
The details will be filled in shortly, but the hotel has a top notch cigar bar, and the herf will have adjoining conference rooms available for dinner and herfing. Fellowship, food, prizes, bombs, raffles and lots of good cigars. The golf tournament details will be worked out shortly as well, but I imagine we'll be teeing off in the morning of May 3rd, finishing up in plenty of time for dinner at the hotel (for those that want dinner). There is, of course, lots of hiking and mountain activities, fishing and plenty to do in and around Boulder. We hope to meet you there!

Flatirons Golf Course 5706 Arapahoe • Boulder Colorado 303-442-7851 MAP http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q...e,+Boulder,+CO Scorecard (pdf) http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/files...corecard07.pdf Please Register Here for Golf, Dinner and/or the Herf http://www.cfrhn.com/CS/Inaugural%20Herf/golf.html Golfers of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to join in! The tournament will be a modified Texas Scramble, such that people of every ability level can join in and have fun. The goal is for everyone to enjoy a day on the course, no matter what one’s skill level at this infuriating game. General Information • Cost is $52 per person: Includes green fee and cart and range balls. • All golfers need to be registered and paid up no later than Sunday, April 20th. We should be able to accommodate some last minute participants but no guarantees on how many. • Teams of four will be chosen at random from all registered participants. The teams should be fair to reflect a diversity of playing levels across each team, but since most of us haven’t played together, some luck-of-the-draw will be in play. • Teams will tee off consecutively beginning at 9 am and at 10 minute intervals following until the last team has left the first tee, the order of play chosen at random. • Tournament teams and tee times will be posted at least a few days prior to the day of the herf and tourney. • All groups will be teeing off from the Blue tees as noted on the scorecard. • Each team will monitor their own play and rotation. • Everyone should show up by 8 am in order to check in and warm up on the driving range, chipping and putting greens. Range balls are included. • Some nice prizes will be awarded for closest to the pin (from the tee) on the 4 par 3s, longest drive (in the fairway, first cut) on the two par 5s, and the lowest average team score. • There are several eating options at the course, though stopping for lunch after 9 holes will not be allowed. Please bring some snacks if you wish, and plan on eating before and after. • The tournament participants are required to follow the same policies as all other golfers at the facility, including pace of play, proper attire, proper conduct and etiquette and care for the condition of the facility and its property. Scramble Rules 1. Each group will select a team captain and team scorer prior to teeing off. It is agreed before hand that the captain will make a rapid and standing decision on any issues including best-ball if the team has trouble doing so. 2. Play begins with each member of the group teeing off. 3. The team decides which drive is the most desirable. 4. The other members of the group pick up their balls and proceed to the spot of the selected drive, where they will hit their second shots. a. Place balls within one club length of the original ball. b. In placing the ball, you may not change the condition of the shot. If the ball is in a hazard or rough, all members of the team must play their shot from the hazard or rough, respectively. c. For good sportsmanship, each team member should always take a shot every time, even if the first person’s shot was good. 5. The best of the second shots is then chosen. The group will then hit all their putts (or third shots) from that spot. 6. This procedure continues until the ball is in the hole. a. On the putting green, give each person a shot at the first putt. Do not hole out a short putt if you have missed your first putt. The first ball in must count. Mark your ball and wait. 7. At the end of each hole, the score for the group is recorded on the card. 8. The scorer must record the total number of team (not individual) strokes to reach the hole and the number of team (not individual) putts on each green. The person who’s drive was used for the hole should also be noted. a. The maximum score allowed is double-par. Once reached, pick up the balls and drive to the next tee. 9. EACH PLAYER ON THE TEAM MUST CONTRIBUTE AT LEAST TWO DRIVES OVER THE 18 HOLES. 10. Cigars and libations may be enjoyed as one chooses, but will not be provided by the tournament. 11. Scores will be recorded back at the clubhouse. It is the responsibility of the team captain to make sure the scores are posted. After the final group arrives back to the clubhouse, some prizes will be awarded. The first players in the tourney at the par 3s and par 5s will not see a marker. It should be around the tee or green. a. Lowest Average Team Score: Ties will be broken by lowest number of total putts recorded for the team. b. Closest to the Pin: On the four par 3s, a marker will exist for the closest tee shot to the flag. If your shot is closer than the marker, write your name on the marker in the next spot and place the marker where your ball came to rest. c. Longest Drive: On the two par 5s, a marker will exist for the longest drive in the fairway. Drives not in the fairway do not count. If your shot is longer than the marker, write your name on the marker in the next spot and place the marker where your ball came to rest. _________________ |
