We look forward to having our four previous champions, (Tim Norum, 2007; Takis Sarantos, 2008; Chuck Fricke, 2010, and Dan Palicka, 2012), shooting to repeat however it hasn't happened yet so there's always room for a new winner. In our tournament, "Competition truly does breed excellence."

Bloomingdale Golf Club Scorecard, Bloomingdale, IL
 
Basic Rules:
 
1) There is no such thing as a  mulligan or give me putt. All shots count and all putts must hit the bottom of the cup.
 
2) The official tees are the white markers. Many players (better golfers) like to play from the blue markers (tips) and that's fine. There is no relief or handicap for playing from the tips. In an effort to keep pace and save time, we request that all four players in the group play from the same tee marker.
 
3) Each foursome must pick a player to keep score. The scorer must sign and attest to the scores. All scorecards must be turned in to the Pro Shop by the scorer at the completion of the round.
 
4) Ties: In the event of a tie for the low gross champion, the club pro will take the #1 handicap hole and compare the tied players' scores. The lowest score wins. If necessary he will use the #2 handicap hole and so on until the tie is broken.
 
5) For the Peoria Handicap Scoring System, the club pro will pick a par 3, par 4 and par 5 from the front and back nine holes. He will be the only person that will know which holes have been selected. Groups tee off and complete their rounds in the normal fashion with one exception; double par is the maximum (i.e., 8 is the maximum score on a par 4; This is used for PHSS scoring purposes only. You must still put your actual score on your scorecard.)
 
6) All players should be at the golf course no later than 20 minutes before your tee off time.
 
7) Last but not least, please stay focused, concentrate and play well. However, we do need your group to keep pace. Your round should not exceed 4 & 1/2 hours from the time you originally tee off.
