Master’s Party & Opening Event Sign Up

Fellow Golfers,

I wanted to remind everyone of two events coming up in the near future; the Master’s Party and the Opening Event!

The Master’s Party is this Saturday (4/10) from 3 to 6 at the Player’s Club. It’s our only social event of the year and a great way to re-connect with your old friends as well as meet some new ones. We will be watching the Master’s on the television, drinking libations as well as hearing stories of hole in ones, eagles and holed pitch shots. I hope to see you there!!!

Sign ups for the Opening Event have already begun both in the pro shop and on our website. The cost is $65 per member. It is a 2 man scramble on the morning of Saturday April 24th. Prizes will be for both gross and net as well as some skills contests. Your round of golf, cart, continental breakfast and a lunch are also included in the $65 cost. If you don’t have a partner and would like to play, please give your name to the pro shop. They will be matching up singles as they sign up.

The last reminder is to let everyone know that our regular weekend events (and week-long white tee events) start next week! So make sure you have signed up for membership. Please give us up to 10 days to activate you in the GHIN system after signing up.

Start Posting Scores, Winter Rules, Temporary Hole Scoring

Fellow Members,

Today is the first official day of the handicap season in Connecticut. Any round played in CT, the tri-state area , MA, NH or any state south should be posted in the GHIN system either on the pro shop computer or through the GHIN website (http://www.ghin.com/posting.shtml). Maine (4/14) and Vermont (4/15) start in 2 weeks.

Due to the course conditions at Sterling Farms, the board has enacted Winter Rules. When we finally move to Summer Rules again, we will send out an email and post it on the bulletin board at the course. Here is a reminder on what Winter Rules means to us…

  • Through the green only (in the fairway or the fringe of the hole being played), after marking your ball, you are permitted to lift, clean, and place the ball within 1-club length of it’s original position, no nearer the hole
    • This is allowed once per stroke. Once the ball is placed it may not be re-lifted and re-placed.
    • Failure to mark the original position before lifting it, such as rolling it with a club, is a 2-stroke penalty or loss of hole in match play.

Currently Sterling Farms Golf Course has some temporary holes. The following is how to properly score the temporary holes for both posting in the GHIN system as well as posting on the board for weekly competitions.

Hole #3 (temporary green) [15th handicap hole]: Must take par plus handicap allowance for both posting on the computer and on the weekend sign up sheet.

  • + to 14 Course Handicap = 4
  • 15 to 32 Course Handicap = 5
  • 33+ Course Handicap = 6

Hole #10 (temporary tee) [6th handicap hole]: Must take par plus handicap allowance for posting on the computer.  Must use actual score made on the weekend sign up sheet.

  • + to 5 Course Handicap = 4
  • 6 to 23 Course Handicap = 5
  • 24+ Course Handicap = 6

Hole #15 (temporary tee) [18th handicap hole]: Must take par plus handicap allowance for posting on the computer.  Must use actual score made on the weekend sign up sheet.

  • + to 18 Course Handicap = 3
  • 19 to 36 Course Handicap = 4
  • 36+ Course Handicap = 5

Hole #16 (temporary tee) [14th handicap hole: Must take par plus handicap allowance for posting on the computer.  Must use actual score made on the weekend sign up sheet.

  • + to 13 Course Handicap = 4
  • 14 to 31 Course Handicap = 5
  • 32+ Course Handicap = 6

Coming Soon: Masters Party April 10th 3-6 at the Player’s Club
