Chapman Event FINALE at Shadow Valley Golf Course (18-hole, 2-person)

This is SEASON ENDING Chapman and this time we are playing 18-holes with dinner afterwards. Find yourself a partner - male or female, member or not - and sign up soon!

The format sounds easy enough, right? Well, it is easy enough until you play it with a partner. The old adage and unwritten rule is "Never Say Your Sorry." However, from personal experience, that "Sorry" is almost impossible not to say. In the alternate shot format, you will inevitably find yourself trying harder than ever not to leave your partner with a tough shot. If you hit the ball from the middle of the fairway and miss the green, you feel like you let your partner down, so you try to hit a better shot the next time, increasing the pressure! 

Pressure? YES!  Fun? YOU BET!

Please join us for the final Chapman of 2016.  You don't want to miss it!

 "Chapman System" is the name of a 2-person team competition format named after Dick Chapman.  In the Chapman System, both players on a side tee off, then they switch balls. Player A plays Player B's drive, and vice-versa.  Each player hits Player A or Player B’s second shot. They then select the best of the second shots, and from that point until the ball is holed they play only one ball in an alternate shot format. Got it? 

The player whose second ball was not chosen gets to play the third shot (so teams might sometimes choose the best ball after two shots based on who will get to hit the third).

Handicap allowances for Chapman System competitions can be found in the USGA Handicap Manual, Section 9-4 (www.usga.com).  Video: Watch a demonstration of Chapman System play
