Fathers Club

RULES & INFORMATION

• Please play from the Yellow Tees.
• SCRAMBLE FORMAT
  • All players shoot and select the best ball of the foursome. All players shoot from the best ball location for each shot until the ball is holed. Record one score per hole. 
• All players are to place their ball within ONE CLUB LENGTH of the best ball (no closer to the hole), except on the green or in a sand trap. 
• OUT OF BOUNDS is loss of stroke and distance. 
• TWO (2) PUTT MAXIMUM PER HOLE
  • If you do not make your first set of putts, pick it up, add one to your score and move to the next hole. 
     

CONTESTS

• LONGEST DRIVE: 1 winner (dad or son) on these holes: Dogwood #9, Redbud #2. 
• CLOSEST TO THE PIN: 1 winner (dad or son) on these holes: Dogwood #2, Redbud #3. 

MULLIGANS

• Teams can purchase mulligans prior to the round at 4 for $20.00. Anyone on the team may use the mulligans at any time although they may not be used to win any contest hole. 

SKINS GAME

• Cost to participate is $20 per team. All teams who buy in are part of this game. The total amount of money collected from particpating teams constitutes the "pot." A skin is won if your team has the lowest score on any particular hole. (Ties do not count.) 50% of the pot goes to the team with the highest number of winning skins with the other 50% going back to SLUH. 

All dads are automatically members of the SLUH Fathers Club, which offers a variety of social, service and spiritual opportunities.

Originally known as the "St. Louis U. High Club," the Fathers Club began in 1938 and has since played key roles in the construction of the basement recreation room and the first major addition to the school plant. It also helped bring about parking lots, locker room renovation and the library.
