2019 Golf Outing

This year’s annual AUA golf Outing will be held at the Forest Park Golf Course, located between the host hotel and the Washington University in St. Louis campus. As in previous years, the outing is schedule for Sunday morning, prior to any meetings or other events for the conference. This way, all persons interested are encouraged to join us.

The event will be a SCRAMBLE format. It is a laid back, fun time for all levels of players. It’s a great way to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and get warmed up for the conference. Lunch at the course is included in this year’s event.

If you are planning to join us, please email Joe Bilotta at joe@jba1.com. We have a limited number of tee times booked (24 persons, 6 tee times) and must provide and final player number to the course by May 20, 2018).

Here is some basic info about the outing.

Forest Park Golf Course Website: www.forestparkgc.com When: Sunday, June16, 2018 Leave Hotel: 6:45 AM First Tee Time: 7:30 AM Cost: $80 per player

(includes green fees, carts, lunch and awards)

NOTE: If anyone is interested in playing a second round during the week, let me know. There are a handful of people that usually do so I am checking early. The course is kind enough to give us another break, so I need to let them know if we want to set up another tee time or two.

GolfOutingRules–2018

• All Golf Course local rules apply. • Format is a 4 Person Scramble - all members tee off and then chose their best shot and all team

members will hit their second shots from that point (within one clubs distance of the original shot). Balls CAN NOT be moved from a hazard such as a sand trap, water, trees, etc. If we end up with a team of three persons, the forth shot should be rotated amongst the team members.

• When on the green or fringe the ball must be marked with a ball marker and hit from there. You do not get one club length here.

• NO MULLIGANS – Even if you are Irish. • Scoring - all scores are scratch with each team having one score. If your scorecard is lost then you

just earned a score of +9, so it’s best each cart has a scorecard and two people keep score, just in case. If you like a +9, just tell Joe ahead of time, this can be arranged.

• Tie Breaker - Best back nine, then best last six holes, then best last three holes. If this does not work, then we start at hole 9 going backwards until one team has the best score on a hole. If every hole is a tie then a chip off will be set up with rules determined at that time by the tournament organizer.

• Please be sure to get around in 2 hours per nine holes. It is a laid back, social event, but we DO NOT want to hold up the entire course, so please keep moving. The course was nice enough to set aside Sunday morning tee times which is not easy to get. Let’s at least pay the courtesy back by setting a good pace.

• Men Tee off from the BLUE Tees. Women from the WHITE Tees. • Contests/Awardswillbesetasfollows

• Closest to Pin on Holes Dogwood #2 and Redbud #3. To win you must be on the green in regulation. The fringe is NOT considered on the green.

• Longest Putt on Dogwood #6 and Redbud # 2 - To win this must be the longest put being on the green, not the fringe.

• Longest Drive on Dogwood #9 (men only ) and Redbud #5(women only). Your drive must clearly be in the fairway.

• Team Awards for first and second place. Don’t get too excited, they are modest in nature. This event is about having fun, not winning.

• NOTE: A person can win only one individual award. Awards will be given to the second finisher in the specific contest if the first ranked individual already received an award.

• Awards will be presented during lunch after the golf. We will arrange rides for those who sign up.
