2023 Ringers Competition

Guidelines for Ringers Challenge

The purpose of the Ringers Competition is to reward improvement of play. This is a year-long flighted event taking place on three courses: Lion’s Paw, Panther’s Run and Tiger's Eye. Flights will be determined by the Ringers Committee using the October 1st (of the current award year) USGA handicap of the participating players. All participants must have 5 or more scores recorded per course to be eligible for the Best Ringer score awards and a minimum of 3 or more birdies or chip-ins per course to be eligible for most in a flight.

The challenge in the Ringers Competition is for each player to improve their GROSS scores on each hole over the course of the year. The Ringers score is the total of the lowest scores on each hole for each of the courses. The more you play, the better your chances!

On ORLGA play days the game coordinators will place the Ringers box for that course on the game meeting table. As the Ringer participants come in, they will record their Ringer score on their Ringers Competition Card. After the first 18 holes are recorded, participants will record only the improvements for each hole after each additional play day. Scores entered shall be GROSS scores only, NOT NET nor EQUITABLE STROKES. Shambles, Scrambles, Alternate Shots and other designated non-postable rounds of golf are not to be recorded on Ringers Competition Cards. It is the responsibility of the Ringers participants to record their scores as soon as possible after playing. If a participant is not available, a teammate may record the scores for them.
