The “Hawk Cup”:
Going into the 2017 season we have made a couple of changes to “The Hawk Cup” which is now an 11 tournament race for a 16 player playoff at the end of the season. During the 11 regular season events, players will earn points based on their final standings in each tournament. The final tournament standings will be done in a Net Division with each player receiving 75% of his handicap. The “Hawk Cup” events are listed on the tournament schedule with an (*HC*) next to the event name. There will be four events that will be considered “Majors” that are listed on the tournament schedule with an (*HC-Major*) next to the event name, which will award double the points. In the event of any ties, players will receive the same amount of points.
There will be bonus points that you can receive during the season by simply playing in the events. You will receive 10 bonus points per non- Hawk Cup event that you play in during the regular season, and you can also earn 50 bonus points by playing in 5 of the 10 Summer Series events.
Take advantage of these bonus opportunities which could help you make the Top 16!
At the conclusion of our season, we will have our Hawk Cup Championship which is a now a two-day, individual competition for the Top 16 players in the Hawk Cup Standings. The Hawk Cup Champion will be the individual that leads the standings following the Hawk Cup Championship. The winner will receive “The Hawk Cup” along with a FREE One Year Full Golf Membership to Hunting Hawk Golf Club that is valid for 2018.
