Savannah Cup Competition for 2013


All,

FNQVGA has introduced a new event to be played for during the 2013 golfing season.  The competition will be called the Savannah Cup and is sponsored by Savannah Lifestyle Resorts at Mareeba.

It follows the format of the Fedex Cup event which is in its 7th season of playing on the US PGA tour.
Points will be allocated to players competing in single player events which started at Gordonvale on the 19th February, and finishing at Gordonvale on the 26th November.
Points are to be allocated from 1st to 66th position in the mens event, and to all competing female players.
Unlike the Fedex PGA Tour competition there will be no playoff format.
Both male and female veteran players who have received the most points during the year's single player events will be declared the winners.  Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd & 3rd placegetters.

A computer program has been set up to allocate points during the year, and points sheets will be available for members to view at each Tuesday competition.
Points will be allocated against players scores, not by winning individual handicap divisions.

In the first round at Gordonvale on the 19th February 3 male players had 40 stableford points each and shared the 500 points first prize, the 300 points second prize and the 190 points third prize, giving each player (Alan Dwyer, Noel Webster, and Russ Gill) 330 points each.

In the Ladies division Jane Johannsen was outright winner with 37 stableford points and received 500 points, Elaine Sandilant was outright second with 300 points and Chris Everall/Joan Ranger/Lois Tait tied 3rd with 145 points each.

The Association trusts you will enjoy this new format during the 2013 season.

Colin Johannsen
Vice President
