Mark Zelich Golf Classic

Results for 2024

The 2024 Mark Zelich Golf is on Saturday July 27th and Sunday 28th, at Stevens Point Country Club

The cost will be $140.

Tournament Format: A two-day, 36 hole (weather permitting), stroke play Amateur event. USGA rules will govern all play. Participation is open to everyone 16 years of age and older, regardless of residence location. Field will be limited to first 100 entries submitted with payment.

There will be five main divisions: Mens, Seniors (50+), Super Senior Mens (65+), Ladies, and Senior Ladies (50+). Seniors must be 50 years old as of the first day of the tournament. Seniors can declare to play in the Mens division if they so choose, but will not be able to play in both at the same time as they will be playing from different tee markers. Players in all divisions are guaranteed play on both Saturday and Sunday. After the first day we will flight players within the divisions based on their scores. The number of flights and players within each flight will be based on the number of entries received for each division.

The tees and approximate distances for each division:

Mens - Gold 6600

Mens Seniors - Green 6200

Mens Super Seniors - Black 5700

Ladies - Blue/Black combo 5200

Senior Ladies - Blue 4800

Golf Carts: All golf carts must be requested in advance of the event during registration. We cannot guarantee a cart if they are not requested during registration. If you indicate you would like to request a riding golf cart during registration, those will be paid for individually on the day of the event in the Pro Shop. A cart will be $25 per person, per day. We will not be offering solo carts this year to ensure we have enough carts for everyone.

We will also be doing the Team Cup. Wausau CC won it the last two years and we need to see what other courses can give them a run for their money this year. Each day of the event we will take the top 3 scores from each respective course, regardless of the Mens/Seniors/Womens divisions, and add them up. The lowest combined score for both days of play will be our Team Cup winner. Players should feel honored to represent their home courses, and the courses should try to bring as many players as they can to have their best chance at lowest scores. This extra event is intended to add to the camaraderie and excitement of our primary individual event. There will not be any prize money for the Team Cup, but there will be a trophy, and what we believe is a very desired honor for players and courses.

Other Notable Information:

- Practice rounds are available by calling the course and scheduling. Let them know you are playing in the Mark Zelich Golf Classic.

- Caddies and Spectators are welcome, and encouraged!

- All rules decisions will be made by the Stevens Point CC Golf Professional.

- No refunds will be given for entry fees for withdrawals after 7/21/24.

- In case of bad weather we will attempt to complete as many holes as safely as possible. All decisions on when and how to play will be made by the Stevens Point CC Head Golf Professional and the Tournament Committee. In such cases where weather or outside forces prohibit completion of play, or any amount of play, no refunds will be given to any player for playing less that 36 holes of golf.

- All tournament decisions will be made by the Tournament Committee, and are final.

We are expecting to have everyone going off of the #1 tee both days. Here are the approximate tee time blocks (subject to change) for both Saturday, and Sunday with the leaders going out last in each Division:
