Cape Cod Classic - June 9 & 10, 2012: April 2010

Dennis Highlands selected as site of Friday warm-up round

The Friday warm-up round of the 2010 CCC will be a great opportunity for the American and International squads to get to know each other before the real competition begins on Saturday. Tee times will start at 2 PM, but get there early to meet all the competitors and maybe have a beer or two. Dennis Highlands is a great track with lots of sand (of course it's Cape Cod!) and many opportunities to put a new ball in play! Plans are to mix the groups on Friday and play foursome vs. foursome. Rumor has it that a cook out will be held at the beach house of Jim Shea after the last putt is holed.

More details to follow...

The Americans are coming!

We have been challenged! Jim Shea and the participants of the "Shea Invitational" have challenged the CCC pros to see who will be the Champions of Cape Cod! Putting the two tournaments together will add a little spark to the new Cape Cod Classic and expand the field from 12 to 24 players! As before, the Ryder Cup style event will be a team match play event with team points earned for each individual match and a small cash pool for additional player incentive! Jim Shea will captain his "American" squad while Seth Shulman and I will co-captain the International team.

Details are being worked out and will be posted here as they are finalized. If you are not yet signed up, please reach out to Jim or Seth to reserve your spot in this year's event.

The CCC will be contested June 11, 12 and 13, 2010 in sunny Cape Cod!

The Cape Cod Classic moves to new format

This year the CCC moves to an individual format leaving the much loved, but tired Ryder Cup format behind.

Flights

There will be three Flights. "The Champions Flight", "The PGA Flight", and "The NationWide Flight"
Each Flight will have four players
The flights will be established by handicap with the low four handicap players in one flight, the middle four handicappers in a second flight and the high four handicappers in a third flight
The goal is to win your flight, and prizes will be awarded to the winners of each flight.

Matches

The golf matches will remain the same as in prior years. On Saturday morning we will play a 2-man, four-ball match.
Saturday Afternoon will be a 2-man, scramble match
Sunday will feature 3, 6-hole individual matches.

Parings

Parings for the Saturday team matches will be determined by an A/B blind draw.
The low 6 handicappers will be designated "A Players" and placed into one hat. The high 6 handicappers will be "B Players" and placed into a second hat.
An A player and a B player will be pulled at random to form a team.
No team can have 2 players from the same flight. If any team consists of two players from the same team we will re-draw
Opponents are determined by the total team handicap. The two teams with the lowest team handicap will play against each other, then the next two, and then the last two.
On Sunday each flight will play as a foursome

Points

Players earn a point for each match they win and 1/2 point for each match that is halved.
The maximum amount of points that can be earned by each player is 5

Winning your flight

The player with the most points in his flight wins.
If there is a tie, the tie-breaker is the individual match between the two players.
If there is still a tie we go to a putt off!
A cash prize will be awarded to the winner of each flight

Cash Pool

As in previous years we will have a cash pool for each day.
This will be very much the same as in prior years.
Details for this will be provided on the day of the tournament
