General Info

 

Evergeren Golf Club plays Thursday League at Willows Run Golf Course Redmond, Washington, and our Weekend tournaments 2-3 weekends a month at a variety of western Washington regional courses.  We also host two season-long match play bracket tournaments. Competition is fun and friendly, with a small prize fund.  We welcome all handicap ranges.  Cameraderie is key to our club members. 

 

Come join us for our Thursday night series, our Match Play events or our Weekend events.  New potential members and guests are welcome to join us for up to 3 rounds . A guest fee will apply.  

 

Prizes: We typically pay out to 33% of players in an event (Match Play is 25% due to the way an elimination bracket works). Starting in 2022 we are paying both Gross and Net for our Weekend Tournaments.  Prize fund is redeemable as credit at all Western Washington Pro Golf Discount stores. 

 

Mission Statement


Evergreen Golf Club provides a framework for competitive golf for players of all GHIN Handicap indexes in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Our priority is to approach all events with a balance of convenience, fairness, and best practices in all areas of competitive play.


Standards of Play and Competitive Expectations

 

  • During all events treat fellow members, officials, staff, and the course with respect 
  • Be on time, keep up with the pace of play, and be good company in your foursome
  • Repair your pitch marks, replace divots, rake bunkers & leave course in better condition
  • Put your mobile phones on silent / vibrate on the golf course – emergency calls only
  • Cheating on the course, reporting false scores, theft, and the like, will result in suspension of membership
  • Rules debates are to be resolved quickly. If need be, play a 2nd ball and resolve after round
  • Complaints, protests, and grievances should be sent to the board in writing at our e-mail
  • All foursomes will submit accurate and timely scores using both paper and Golf Genius app
    • Each foursome is required to record all scores in Golf Genius – use live scoring for all events
    • Each score submitted to the tournament director on paper and attested to GG are final

 

Contentious or disruptive behavior will be given a warning.  Repeated complaints may result in suspension or conclusion of membership.  

 

Pace of Play

 

  • Pace of play is always an issue – Keep up with the group ahead of you. 
  • Our contracts with each course require that we maintain a pace of play standard or we will not be able to schedule future rounds.
  • When you lose sight of the group ahead of you, you are out of position – speed up!
  • All players in each foursome are to communicate pace and play ready golf
  • Slow play will be penalized – read event rules and don’t complain when strokes are added
  • Speak up in your group, find wayward shots, rake, place gear toward next hole, etc.

Getting a GHIN (USGA Golf Handicap Index Network) Handicap

 

You will need a GHIN number to participate in EGC Tournaments and events. 

 

The simplest way is to join EGC directly using the Click Here to Join Now link above,  This includes GHIN, and your GHIN will be activated immediately.

 

If you have a GHIN from another club or service, it will need to be activated prior to participating in EGC events. 

 

Establishing a new handicap:

Once you get your GHIN membership you need a minimum of 54 holes played to establish a handicap. You may play any combination of 9 or 18 holes for the 54 holes.  For the initial handicap, 9 hole scores will not be converted and counted as 18 holes.  If you have the scores from rounds you’ve played within the past 15 months, you can post them to GHIN and it will give you a handicap 24 hours later.  If you do have a scoring history, we encourage you to post as many scores as possible from the past 12 months (maximum up to the 20 most recent) as the more scores posted, the better the handicap estimate.  Please don’t go beyond the previous 12 months as the scores aren’t as current.

 

If you don’t have any scores you can post, then you’ll play your first few rounds with a 0 handicap until we can establish your level of play.

Payout Schedule - When do I get my winnings at Pro Golf Discount?

 

Tournament Winnings are via credit in Western Washington Pro Golf Discount Stores, good for merchandise.

 

Payouts are typically available for your use around the 20th of the month AFTER the month you won.  For example, if you have winnings in June, they will be available around July 20th. 

 

The reason it takes a few weeks is because we submit all the prize awards from a given month in one batch to Pro Golf.  We collect and review the results shortly after end of the month.  It usually takes a few days for us to process and review the monthly results, and then we allow Pro Golf Discount another few days to post the results to the credit system. Thank you for your understanding.
