2020 GASPAR INVITATIONAL SCHEDULE

Gaspar Invitational Online Payments

REFUND POLICY:  If you cancel up to 48 hours before an event, you'll receive a full refund.  Cancellation must be done by text to Tres Fenton to be removed from the list of players.  Depending on the course, cancelling between 24-48 hours of an event may result in a refund of half your payment.  No refunds are given inside 24 hours due to us having to guarantee a certain number of players to receive a shotgun start.

There are no refunds for the April event at Westchase due to us having to pay on Thursday.  If you enter and pay, and are unable to play, you will receive a voucher for a round of golf at Westchase.

ALL PLAYERS MUST PAY BY WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT -- THIS WILL NOT BE AN OFFICIAL GASPAR INVITATIONAL -- NO POINTS GAME -- THERE WILL BE A DRAWING FOR PRIZES DONE LIVE ONLINE

Golf Fees for Westchase $55

YOUR GOLF FEES:  We negotiate the best price possible with all the courses on which we play our events.  Remember, we are getting a shotgun start on a weekend for a group that is smaller than most scramble tournaments.  We are also trying to play on better courses whenever possible.  All these things mean that we will pay a bit more than we might if playing some of the less expensive public courses in the area.  We also must cover the PayPal fees (typically around $2 each), and we also add a couple dollars to allow us to buy prizes that we raffle off after the awards are announced.  We do not keep ANY of the fees we charge for golf.  No one is making any money from Gaspar Golf, and we are doing our very best to negotiate fair prices at better courses.  We encourage everyone to play every month's Gaspar Invitational.  However, we realize that some players may want to only play a few events a year.  If you feel that a particular month is too expensive, simply skip that month, and we'll hopefully see you the next month!

CURRENT MONEY POOLS:

Marketing & Prizes - $330
Gaspar Cup - $96
Sink the Putt - $159

POINTS GAME - $15 entry
We have 3 contests for each Gaspar Invitational.  First is the Points Game.  If you have an established Points Quota, we expect you to play in the Points Game (there are some exceptions to this, like if it's a person new to golf just learning the game).  New players must play 2 Gaspar Invitationals to establish their own Points Quota.  The ONLY exception to this is if you have played in 1 Gaspar Invitational, and have played 2+ recent rounds with one or more of our regular players, and we have a basis to assign a realistic Points Quota.  This would allow you to play in the Points Game in your second Gaspar Invitational.

Optionally, you may play in the Points Game after one Gaspar Invitational by taking the points you achieved in your first event, and add 3 points to that total to give you a Conditional Points Quota.

New players may participate in the Skins Game ($5 entry fee), Closest to the Pins ($5 entry fee), and the Sink the Putt contest ($1 entry fee).

SKINS GAME - $5 entry
This is an optional game can be entered by any player, whether existing, inactive or new.  The cost is $5, and the pot is split up evenly based on the number of Skins won.  ANY score can win a Skin, whether eagle, birdie, par or worse.  However, the winning score must not have any ties.  For example, 3 players birdie hole #1, a par 4.  No one wins a Skin because there are ties for the best score.  On hole #2, a par 5, there are 2 players with birdie, and 1 player with an eagle.  Because there is only one player with the best score on the hole, that player wins a Skin.  This could also happen on a difficult par 3 or par 4, although rare.  Just remember, any ties for best score on a hole means no Skin.

SINK THE PUTT CONTEST - $1 entry (current pot is $135)
This is an optional game that can be entered by any player, whether existing, inactive or new.  The cost is $1, and only one player can win the pot.  We will set up a difficult putt on the practice green, and each player who entered the contest will get one putt.  No practice putts allowed.  If any player who entered the Sink the Putt contest makes the putt, he or she wins the entire pot of entries.  If we have 36 players enter the contest, the winner receives $36.  If two or more players sink the putt, we will have a putt-off, and all players who sank the putt will get 2 putts to make the putt again.  If no one makes a putt during the putt-off, the pot rolls over.  If there is still a tie after the putt-off (2 or more players made the same number of putts in the putt-off), we will go to a 2nd round of the putt-off.  We are going to try our best to make this a very difficult putt where any player has a chance due to a bit of luck.
