2010 Schedule and Results

Sunday, May 16
New River at OCC

Oakwoods CC has enjoyed competing in the Carolina’s Golf Association’s interclub team competition since 2006.  The interclub competition originated in 1996 in Greensboro, NC under the guidance and initiative of Forest Oaks CC member Ben Payne. It has grown during the past 14 years to now include as many as 85 clubs throughout North and South Carolina. The event features match play team competition and fellowship between neighboring clubs for golfers in individual and four-ball net competition. All CGA member clubs are eligible to enter and clubs are paired in groups of four to play home-and-home matches during the regular season. The regular season begins in May and concludes with the playoffs in November with matches normally scheduled on Saturdays and/or Sundays and do not interfere with regular club events. These weekend events provide clubs the opportunity to play in a Ryder Cup style team competition among twelve players from each competing club.

Points are awarded to the winners of the two individual and the one four-ball match in each foursome and accumulated to determine the team winner of the home-and-home series. Teams with the most points after completing their group matches advance, through the sectional and regional playoffs, until a Carolinas Interclub Champion is determined.  This year the top four teams will compete at Pine Needles Resort in Pinehurst during the weekend of November 7, 8 to determine the overall champion.

Oakwoods CC is competing in a pod involving three teams from the immediate area, Reynolds Park, Salem Glen, and New River.  OCC finished first in group play last year with a record of 4-1-1, and again made the playoffs as we have done each year that we have competed. OCC reached the semifinals during the 2007 season and losing to eventual champion, Montgomery County CC.

The interclub competition is open to all male golfers at Oakwoods who are at least 21 years old and have an established handicap not to exceed 18.4. There is no cost to the individual, other than cart fees at the host course. Participants for each match are selected through a qualifying effort which is handicap-based. Participants have only one opportunity to qualify per match and the effort must be declared prior to the round in the OCC Pro Shop, or with team captain Randy McCoy. OCC must file a team roster with the interclub governing body at the beginning of each season and periodically update it. Thus it is important for all players to get involved early and often.
