Dear Fellow Golfer,

  B.A.G.S., which was established in the spring of 1989, has grown from a first year membership of 75 to over 400 at the present time consisting of students age 16 or older, men, women and seniors. The women compete against the men from the more forward tees using their course adjusted handicaps. The tournament schedule consists of one day events held nearly every weekend, along with an equal number of weekday tournaments. During the course of the season, there are several 36 hole tournaments scheduled including:  the spring and fall Cape Cod Weekends and the Society Championship.

  While members compete off their handicap - index, in the net division for trophies and prizes, a handicap - index is not needed to join B.A.G.S. A provisional handicap is assigned to you based on your best par 72 scores, thus giving new members a chance to compete right away. Once ten scores have been posted, you will receive a handicap - index. Any member, who plays to a single digit handicap - index, is eligible for the gross/scratch division.

  Our season begins in mid-April and continues through the end of October. The official schedule is published in mid-March. This enables you to select, well in advance, the events which suit your schedule. There is no minimum amount of tournaments that you are required to play in. You can enter just  those you want. To guarantee a spot in weekend tournaments, please try to enter at least ten days in advance. Unless stated on the tournament schedule, no advance payment is required. Provided you give B.A.G.S.' at least 48 hours notice of withdrawal before the first scheduled tee off time, there will be no charge for withdrawing from the event.

  The tournaments are open only to the members. However, members may bring guests to the private clubs and weekday events. Guests may play on weekends only if space is available. Membership in B.A.G.S. last a full 12 months, so the date that the application is processed, is the expiration date of your membership the following year.

  Entry fees for each event include the normal greens fee and the prize fund. The cost varies depending on the course being played. Carts are an optional extra, however; some courses insist on the usage of carts as part of the outing package and the cart charge is included in the entry fee.

      Yours sincerely,
