2008 Gulf Coast Scratch Tour
Membership Information
The 18th season of the Gulf Coast Scratch Tour tees off
Jan. 26-27, 2008, at Marcus Pointe Golf Club in Pensacola, Fla.
The Marcus Pointe event is the first of 16 regular-season tournaments that
includes two outstanding new venues.
On the weekend of July 19-20, the Tour will make its first visit ever to the
fabulous Grand Bear Golf Club in Saucier, Miss. Grand Bear was designed by Jack
Nicklaus and opened in 1999 and is part of the Harrah's Casino enterprise.
On the weekend of Sept, 13-14, the tour goes east to Dothan, Ala., for an event
at Highland Oaks, home of the Nationwide Tour Championship and part of the
Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Alabama.
The remainder of the schedule has been upgraded as well with two events
scheduled for both Marcus Pointe and the Country Club of Brewton, two of the
players' favorite courses. The amateurs-only tour is a competition-oriented series.
Players earn points based on
their finish in each event. There are no flights, no throws, no red-tee busters,
no windmills, just golf. A limited number of gift certificates are
awarded at each event and is based on the number of entries in an effort to keep the cost of each event to a
minimum.
Points earned in each event determine exemptions into the
season-ending tour championship (The Pensacola Masters) and also berths on the
tour's Challenge Match team, which plays a team from the Emerald Coast Senior
Scratch Series in a
Ryder Cup-like competition in the fall.
The annual membership dues are $120. Tournament entry fees
are $95-$150 and include golf and cart fees for two
days. Practice round and range ball prices vary from event to event, but
Tour members frequently receive discounted greens fees for practice rounds prior to an
event.
