In keeping with tradition, the BGA has scheduled our annual Calcutta tournament.   This tournament is a 2-man team / 2-day event that has a four-ball format on Saturday and a SHAMBLE format on Sunday.

 

In a SHAMBLE format, both players hit their drives, the team chooses the best drive then both players play their own balls until holed out – the low gross score of the possible two scores is the team score.   It’s a hybrid format that incorporates both scramble mentality on the drivers but accountability like a four ball..

 

Members must have an established BGA Handicap, legacy members must have played in at least four (4) BGA tournaments (excluding ladies putt tournament) from August 2024 thru June 2025, and new 2025 members must have three (3) tournaments played.

 

There are 101 eligible BGA members to play in this event on the attached list.   If your name is not on the list and you think you are eligible, let me know and I can double check.   If you don’t have a partner, we will try to find you one.

 

Special Note – Important

 

 

The BGA Board has approved allowing pre auction purchase of Calcutta teams this year.  There are four (4) flights in the tournament - teams will have the opportunity to buy their own teams outside of the open action - as always there is no requirement to buy your team or any other team. 

 

1st flight teams can be purchased for $400 

2nd flight teams can be purchased for $300

3rd flight teams can be purchased for $200

4th flight teams can be purchased for $100

 

Any teams that are not purchased will be entered into an open auction starting with the 4th flight upward.

 

100% of flight Calcutta pool money is paid out to flight winners at the rate of 50% 30% and 20% respectively. 

 

Calcutta team purchases will be “CASH ONLY”, we will not be able to accept any credit cards or checks as payments if you buy a team.

 

  • We will be collecting team purchases at 7:00 am in the clubhouse and holding the auction of unpurchased teams prior starting the first round.
  • We will have a shotgun start immediately after the conclusion of the auction.

BGA - New Way to Pay

 

  • Are you tired of writing that monthly check to the BGA?
  • Are you tired if trying to find the envelope and “First Class Forever” stamp?
  • No more forgetting to send in your entry and calling the Friday before the tournament wanting to play.

 

The BGA has a new way to pay your entry, skins and even your annual dues.

 

Each month you receive an email / monthly newsletter and if you want to participate and pay using your credit card, the BGA now has an easy method for you to pay.

 

All you need to do is to respond to the monthly newsletter and we will send you an emailed Invoice.

You can also go to the website, branch-golf.com , click on the “Contact Us” tab and let us know that you want to participate.

The BGA will email you an Invoice that will allow you to pay with your credit card. You can even save your credit card information, which will make it easier to pay in the future.

 

This is example of what you will receive.

The invoice will be directed to each individual and will be itemized.
