The SWAGA Swindle 

The Swindle is an event that lasts from May 10 through October. If you sign up for the event, we will track your eight best Stableford point totals over that time period.

The player with the highest cumulative score will be declared the SWAGA Swindler. It will cost $25 to participate. The winner will receive 75% of the pot and the runnerup will receive 25%. The other participants will simply be, um, swindled.

The Swindle is optional. You can save your $25 and come out and play every Wednesday! However, you may be scoffed for your frugality...

SWAGA Details

General Information

We play on Wednesday Mornings. You will receive an email on Thursday each week to invite you to play the following Wednesday.

 Playing Rules

"Lift, Clean and Place" is in effect at all times. You may replace the ball within one club-length anywhere except on the green and in hazards such as sand or water; but no closer to the hole. The move cannot change your playing condition. If your ball is in the Rough, leave it in the Rough, if your ball is in the Water, it stays in the Water, etc.

Mulligans

You are allowed one mulligan per nine from the tee. When a player hits a mulligan and is not satisfied with the results, that player has the option of using his original ball. In other words, pick the better of the two shots! No matter which ball is chosen, the player has used his mulligan for that nine holes. If a player declares a provisional mulligan, he MUST play the original ball, if found. 

Handicaps

All players will be fully handicapped. There is no minimum handicap nor is there any restriction on the number of strokes a player can receive on any one hole. 

Weekly Pot

We all play from the senior tees. All players will pitch in $5. Two bucks for the winner, two for closest to the pin. and one dollar to the Lunch Pot. If the winner leaves early, his cash will go the runner up.

There are No Ties. Ties will be decided by comparing the Stableford Points on the #1 handicap hole. If a tie still remains, the scores will be compared on the #2 handicap hole and so on, until the tie is broken.

Rain Possible Before Play: I will post a message on the website advising as to whether or not we are playing. I will wait as long as possible on Wednesday morning, but still give ample notice to cancel travel plans. Please check the SWAGA page on such days.
