Coosaw Creek Big Blitz members, Please check the announcements page for updated information.
We are demonstrating the tournament INTERCLUB and Local SIMULATED events
again. There is no entry fee, but no prize either. The Medal Play tournaments are 4 person team events, the teams are made by a method that guarantees the sum of the rankings of each team member on a team will equal the sum of the rankings of each of all the other teams. The Rank of a player is where they are on a sorted list of all of the contestants on an event roster. There is an A player, B player C player and D player on all teams.
We only need a few courses to ensure that our program is stable and consistant. Once we have determined that is so, and have enough participating courses, we will begin charging the $10 entry fee per event and awarding prizes. At that time we will share 10% of our proceeds with the Jr Golf
Programs in each State with participating Golf Courses.
The Internet has made it possible for Golfers to come together
in one place, throw a few bucks in the pot and compete with other Golfers from All over the World on a DAILY basis!

Please NOTE: The Golf Courses listed in this
simulation are NOT CURRENTLY participating in the BIGBLITZ, though we hope they will consider it soon. We use real course names only to
demonstrate what the potential is for the BIGBLITZ INTERCLUB events. They have not endorsed the concept. The simulated Golfers, scores and handicaps are randomly generated to create a realistic BIGBLITZ INTERCLUB event environment with thousands of particpants. We will run a BIGBLITZ INTERCLUB simulated event daily at 6:35 PM while we build our Club Roster. There will be 2 events: Winner take all and 1 winner in 40.
For LOCAL events, Entrants will compete only against members of their own club. The LOCAL event will start with 1 person in the money for every 4 entrants
This is full handicap (MAX 36), 4 PERSON (Men AND Women) Team, medal play tournament. You must play your round in an organized golf event where your scores can be verified. A daily blitz or any medal play format. No scramble type, best ball events. The event must adhere to USGA rules with local rules prevailing and you must putt out ALL putts, No Gimmes, No Mulligans.
As we grow, the payout ratio will change. (i.e. 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 even Winner take all). We have the flexability to conduct
varieties of events including events within a region, within a country, within a continent, within a timezone, the whole World! We can offer
varying fee and award events. There is almost no limit to the types of events we can run.
We are going to begin at Coosaw Creek, SC and add other Charleston SC particpating
courses. Once we have determined the program is stable, we will begin playing for cash prizes. Entry fee will be $10 per event. Payout will be 80% of entry fee. Prizes will be awarded in cash and gift certificates determined by the Pro and awarded to four member teams. The Big Blitz will run on days we can get 12 OR MORE golfers willing to particpate. Entries can come from a combination of events during the golfing day. If you have a Early Bird blitz, and a 9 am blitz and an afternoon blitz, we can accept scores from all of these events. Ladies are most welcome.
