HENRY SAMPSON MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
SMITH FALLS GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
FRIDAY 27 JULY 2007
· All members of the Black Hat family are invited to gather for a friendly
golf tournament in memory of Henry Sampson. This day will allow you renew
old and make new acquaintances within the family and have fun, just like
Henry would.
· The Black Hat family includes serving and former members of Regiments in
the Corps and all those who were attached to the Regiments from other Corps.
Most important, it includes wives, partners and other family members. Those
considered friends of the Corps are definitely welcome
· The four person scramble format will be used. Each member of the foursome
will hit a tee shot, the best shot will be selected, and all four second
shots will be played from that spot, and so on until a team score is posted
for each hole. The foursome must select a tee shot from each member a
minimum of three times during the round. Any level of golfer can enjoy the
scramble format. The low handicapper in each foursome will act as team
captain.
· Foursomes will be drawn from a hat and mixed according to handicap and
male/female mix. Every attempt will be made to pair up those requesting a
power cart. Please, no special requests for foursomes other than those that
may feel totally uncomfortable if they have to play with some they do not
know. We will not deny anyone the chance to play. Henry would frown down
upon us if we did.
· Handicaps will be based on your expected game:
o Under 90 10
o 91 to 100 15
o 101 to 110 25
o Over 110 35

at 1130 hours. Foursomes starting at the furthest holes must depart for
their respective holes by 1230 hours.

must use tee off times. Lets start to work on this right now.
