All Member Opening Day ABCD


Sunday May 19th, 12:00 pm Shotgun Startevent2

Open to all member classifications. Opening Day is a favorite of both the staff and membership. Not only does this event represent the arrival of a new season, but also gives NNGC staff the opportunity to put our first class golf course and service on display for our new members as well as our returning members. This tournament features a “shamble” format, where the best drive of the four team members is selected, and each player plays their own ball into the hole from that spot. Players receive 80% of their handicap. Teams are comprised of an A, B, C and D player all based off their handicap index. This event is extremely popular as it gives all members a chance to interact with people that they may not typically have the opportunity to meet. A great day on the course followed by food and drinks on the deck, is an excellent way to welcome in the new season.

 

Newport National Club Championship

(Men’s Qualifying starts 6/29 thru 7/28) 1st match played by 8/10 – Semi- finals by 8/24 – Finals 8/25)

(Ladies Club Championship will be held on 8/25(18 hole Championship) tee times start 12:00)

 

After a summer full of memorable NNGC golf, fine tuning their games, members tackle the NNGC Club Championship in both Gross and Net Divisions. The “gross” or “Championship” flight is where the official Newport National Club Champion is crowned. This event is played from the Black tee markers, totaling over 7200 yards. The elite best of the best in the NNGC membership try to qualify for the 7 coveted spots in match play with a one round stroke play qualifying round. The defending overall Club Champion is exempt from qualifying. Those who make match play look for 3 consecutive wins to be crowned the Newport National Club Champion. For those looking for a more casual Club Championship experience, NNGC offers a “Net” division where players are awarded 100% of their handicap, and also try to qualify for the 8 spots in match play with hopes of winning the Net Club Championship.

The ladies division at Newport National will consist of a one day total 18-hole stroke play.

There will be a Gross & Net Champion. The overall 2023 Ladies Club Champion will consist of the lowest one day gross score. An extremely casual and relaxing competition has always been a great experience for all of our NNGC lady members of all golfing abilities.

 

Fall Tournament 6/6/6
Member only event – Sunday, October 6st, 8:30am shotgun start

This will be our end of the year tournament for the members called “6/6/6″. This will now be a team event. Each memeber will have an opportunity to choose their own partner. If you can’t find a partner let the golf shop know and we will do our best to pair you up with a member who is looking for one as well. The format consists of 6 holes alternate shot, 6 holes better ball and 6 holes scramble. Each team will have a percentage handicap based on their combined handicap. That handicap will be deducted off your team’s gross score for a net score total. This is a net only event. This will be a great way to finish the golf season by seeing all your friends before the snow arrives.

The National Cup

Sunday September 8th, Member Event Only (18 – Hole Event – Shotgun start time 8:00 AM)

 

This is a member-only Ryder Cup style event. Our golf professionals draft their teams strategically, ensuring their team takes home the National Cup Trophy. There is no limit to the amount of players that will fill this event as long as we have even numbered players to complete all matches. The Orchard Team will be captained by Head Professional, Christopher Hulme. The Vineyard Team will be captained by Dave Johnson, NNGC’s First Assistant Professional. Both professionals will play in this event so trash talking will start early. This will be an 18 hole event, consisting of 2-nine hole matches with each match is worth a 3 point total. There will be one point awarded to the team who either wins the front nine, back nine or overall match. Each team match will play a better ball of the twosome and all handicaps will be stroked off the lowest handicapped player in the group at 90%. This will be a fun filled day with a touch of comradery, laughter and some trash talking between opponents.
