Men's Club
The Shadow Mountain Golf Club Men's Club, SMGCMC, holds competitive events Thursday and Saturday (except holidays). The President, other volunteer members, the Golf Committee and the Staff conduct these events. Thursday is Men's Day and women are allowed on the practice areas after the Men's shotgun has started. Women may play in the afternoon shotgun, provided holes are available, by making arrangements with the Starter. There is a fee for particpating in the Men's Club to provide for sweeps prizes and awards.
Participation in the Men's Club Thursday and Saturday games requires a sanctioned handicap. Such handicap is required in all Club sponsored events, without exception. New members not having an established sanctioned handicap, will play with a handicap established by the Head Golf Professional and Handicap Chairman.

Sign-up sheets, with the sign-up deadline, will be posted for all Men's Club Thursday and Saturday games. The number of handicap flights will be determined by the number of participants.
Invited guests for Thursday and Saturday games must appear on the sign-up sheets and will be required to have proof of a sanctioned handicap to play in those games. A fee will be charged for the guests to participate in the game. Sweeps prizes won by guests will accrue to the host Member. The host Member is responsible for the guests' green and cart fees.
