BELLEFONTE COUNTRY CLUB
GOLF SCHEDULE AND
INFORMATION BOOKLET
2010
Dear BCC Mem,
On behalf of the Bellefonte Country Club Golf Committee and Golf Pro
Shop Staff, I welcome you to the 2010 golf season. The BCC Golf Schedule and Information Booklet will provide you with all the details needed
during this golf season. Our main objective is to provide the membership
with a fun and pleasant atmosphere to enjoy their golfing activities. The
golf schedule, golf services, golf fee rates, lesson rates, clinics, policies and
procedures are included in this year’s book. The Golf Committee and I have
put together a great schedule designed to enhance everyone’s enjoyment and
playing abilities. As you will discover, the 2010 schedule has many of the
events from last year with some minor changes. The End of Season Tournament will take place on Saturday, August 28th instead of in late September. Another change from last year’s schedule is the Men’s Tuesday Evening
play that will begin May 4th and run through August 31st.
In conclusion, the golf staff hopes each and every one of you enjoy the
2010 season at Bellefonte Country Club. We are committed to offering
the best golfing experience to each member and guest that plays at Bellefonte Country Club. I hope this booklet provides you with the information you need to plan, schedule and enjoy your golf play this year to the
fullest. As always, feel free to call us in the Golf Shop for your tee times,
sign-up for an event, or if you have any questions.

MEN’S SKINS GAME
Each weekend from May 1 – August 15 when an “MGA weekend game
is scheduled,” a skins game will take place on Saturday and Sunday. There
will be two different divisions, gross and net. Players can participate in
both, but must pay an entry fee for both. The player can only count one
round; if a player plays both days, the first round will count towards the
skins game. If there are no skins that week, the amount will carry over to
the following week. Scorecards must be attested by another member.
Scorecards must be placed in the designated scorecard box before the Golf
Shop closes that day. If the course is closed due to weather on Saturday or
Sunday, the weekly competition will only count one day. If the course is
closed both days, the weekly purse will be carried over to the following
week. In order to participate, a player must pay the one time entry fee of
$100. A few changes have been made to this year’s skins game. The first
change as noted above, the skins game will be shortened to eleven weeks,
allowing us to pay out more money each weekend and also allowing us to
complete the shootout while the weather is still good. The second change
allows everyone to participate in the season ending shootout. The net
division shootout will take place on Sunday, August 22 at 3:30 p.m. The
gross division shootout will take place on Sunday, August 29 at 3:30 p.m.
Seventy-five percent of the entry fees will be paid on a weekly basis in Golf
Pro Shop credit. The remaining twenty-five percent will be paid out in a
season ending shootout. If you have any questions, please contact Jeff
Bostic or Matt Tomlinson in the Golf Shop.

Handicap Program
The purpose of the USGA Handicap System is to make the game of golf
more enjoyable by enabling players of differing abilities to compete on an
equitable basis. The system provides a fair course handicap for each player,
regardless of ability and adjusts a player’s Handicap Index up or down as the
player’s game changes. All scores for handicap purposes, including tournament scores, are subject to the application of Equitable Stroke Control. This
mandatory procedure reduces high hole scores for handicap purposes in
order to make handicaps more representative of a player’s potential ability.
Equitable Stroke Control is used when a player’s actual or most likely score
exceeds a maximum number, based on the table below, for the player’s
course handicap from the tees played.
