Tomorrow, I am entering a competition to represent my military base at the Ontario Regional Golf Championship in July.  This tournament is a two-day combined stroke event where the top five male and top two female players will move on to the next level.  Once the base team is chosen, it is off Regionals.

Regionals is a three-day event with several competitions in one.  First, there is the overall team competition.  Each day, the lowest four scores of the seven players are used to determine the total score for the base on that day.  (For those who think that the female scores do not count, think again; they are usually used a couple of times during the tournament)  After three days, your three-day total team score will be use and lowest team score wins the event.  That base is crown Regional Team Champions.  The receive a pennant which proudly displayed at their base.

Another event inside of the team competition is the singles competition.  The person with the lowest score after three days is crowned regional individual champion (men and women).  Additionally, the lowest five male and two female scores make up the Regional team that represents their region at the National Competition.

The National Competition is the same format as the Regional Competition except the players are significantly better.  It is an exciting time of military golfers and believe me, bragging rights are as important as the hardware.

So here is my question of the day:  Any hints on how to prepare for this three-tiered event?

I am a grateful golfer!  See you on the links!
