Q: What is the average cost per
event?
A:
The average cost per event is approximately $80 and that
includes your greens fee and cart. There are 4 - 5 courses that
charge over $100; however, there are many that will charge less
than $70. Certain courses do offer us a discount in relation to
what you would pay if you were to go there on your own.
Q: Can I join the GCNJ as a single?
A:Most of our new members each year join as singles and
become paired up with teammates in the league after the first
few weeks.
Q: Can my team all play together as a
foursome?
A:
Foursomes are generally comprised of two players from one team
and two players from a different team. The group behind them
will be comprised of the other two players from each team. This
is done for two reasons. First, each week we are playing a
match-play style match against the other individuals in the
foursome as well as a stroke play event against the rest of the
field. This allows us to increase the competitive juices as well
as give you the opportunity to meet other players in the league.
It also assures that all players are playing by the rules.
Secondly, putting team members in consecutive groups allows you
to all travel together. You may play together in a foursome with
your own team on any given week; however, you forfeit the
ability to earn match and top ten points for that week.
Q: What do I do if I don’t have a
handicap?
A:
The Golf Club of New Jersey requires that all golfers have a
valid USGA handicap and; therefore, we include one in your
annual membership fee. If you don’t have one now please click on
the handicap section for more information. Our system is
the same GHIN system used throughout the country and is run in
conjunction with the NJSGA.
SOME
G.C.N.J. THOUGHTS TO PONDER:
The GCNJ
offers you a guaranteed game 38 times this summer
at top rated courses in the area and at a
very affordable price. Remember you pay only
when you play! - The GCNJ is open to golfers of all
ability levels. We have scratch golfers as well as 25
handicappers. The emphasis is on fun! - You are welcome to join
as a single, twosome, foursome, etc. It is not
necessary to join with 4 people and remember the guest
policies are very liberal!- Don’t lose interest because
you don’t think you can make all events. Although you
are welcome to play every week our members attend on
average 14-16 events per season. 14-16 events should
easily be enough participation to gain entry into The GCNJ
Tour Championship at year end where first prize is a
free pass to next years PGA Tour Superstore World Amateur
Championship in Myrtle Beach, SC for the winning team!-
The GCNJ will help to improve your game simply
by playing different courses under tournament conditions!
