Dos Rios 2026 Member-Guest

Gentlemen,   The Dos Rios 2026 Member-Guest is here!   Play begins Friday, November 13, 2026. The first tee time is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. The club may move us up to an 11:00 a.m. start, but for now, plan on an 11:30 a.m. start each day.   The entry fee for the Dos Rios Member-Guest is $330 per player. You can pay me by Venmo at @ken-brazle or in cash at the course on Thursday.   Non-River Crossing members will pay $285 plus tax for green fees. Please take care of your green fees at River Crossing on Day 1 when you check in.   Full details for the event - follow below.   When you look at the tee sheet, you will see the tees you’re playing. Generally, if you’re 50 or younger, you’ll play the black tees. After that, we use a combination of age and handicap to determine the appropriate tees. Most of you play River Crossing somewhat regularly, so I’ve placed you at the tees you normally play. Partners may be playing different tees.   Handicaps are adjusted according to the tees you play. The longer set of tees you play, the more handicap strokes you get. If anyone wants to play a longer set of tees than they are assigned, let me know. Likewise, if you think you should be playing a different set of tees, please email me at kennyb@dosriosgolf.club, or call or text me at 830-237-9552.   You can access our event portal by clicking here. The portal will have the daily pairings, all players’ handicaps, and other tournament information. As the tournament goes on, you’ll also find results and player stats on the portal for each round.   We will use the Golf Genius live-scoring app. Someone in each group will need to enter the scores for the group. I suggest that someone in each group keep a hard card. When your round is over, please make sure the hard card matches the live results. You do not need to turn in your hard card. If there is a disagreement between the scores in Golf Genius and the hard card, please have someone from your group bring the card in so we can discuss it after the round.   The Golf Genius leaderboard will have the round results in real time.   Daily GGIDs for Live Scoring:   Friday - 26DRMG1 Saturday - 26DRMG2 Sunday - 26DRMG3   Flight Competition   You are only competing against teams in your flight. There are 18 teams that comprise 3 flights of 6 teams each using both team and individual handicaps to flight each team.   Daily Payouts   Each day, each flight will pay first and second place in both gross and net. Gross and net payouts will be the same.   Flight Winners   Flight winners will be determined by the combined gross and net points earned over all three days. The three teams with the highest combined totals in each flight will receive: First place: $1,000 per team Second place: $700 per team Third place: $300 per team   Day 1 — Two-Man Shamble Best Ball   Day 1 will be a two-man Shamble Best Ball, with 80% handicap used for the net side. A shamble is also known as a select drive. Both players tee off, and the team selects one drive to play. From there, each player plays their own ball until it is holed. The team’s best ball is used for the hole. Please enter both players’ scores.   Day 2 — Select Drive Alternate Shot   Both players tee off, and the team selects one drive. If Player A’s drive is selected, Player B hits the next shot. The players continue alternating shots until the ball is holed. The team handicap will be 50% of the players’ combined handicaps for that day. Gross and net winners will be paid in each flight. There will only be one score per team entered in Golf Genius.   Day 3 — Two-Man Scramble   Both players hit a drive, and the team selects one ball to play. Both players then hit from that spot, and the team selects a ball again. Continue this way until the ball is holed. The team handicap will be 35% of the A player’s handicap plus 15% of the B player’s handicap. There will only be one score in Golf Genius.   Rules   See the rules tab in the portal for full rules.   As always, we will play the ball down and putt the ball out if the score counts. This is not match play, so there are no gimmies. However, since we are playing Stableford, a gross quad bogey is the most you can take. If your next shot is for gross quad bogey, put down a quad bogey, pick up the ball, and move on.   Max scores are as follows: Par 3 - 7, Par 4's - 8, Par 5's - 9.   The 14-club limit is in place.   You may use your rangefinders in any way you want, and there is no one-ball rule.   Otherwise, we’ll typically play USGA rules as modified by the River Crossing local rules.   If any issues come up during the round, play two balls and come see me after the round. We have a handicap committee available to handle any issues that may arise during the tournament.   Handicap Stuff   If you go to our event portal, you will see three sections under Handicap Stuff.   River Crossing Handicap Guidelines — This shows what tee box you should be playing based on your age and handicap. If you think you’re at the wrong set of tees or want to move back, as stated above, let me know. Handicap Analysis — This breaks down each player’s handicap for each round. It takes into account the six-stroke limit between partners, as well as the handicap percentage for each day. Your Playing Handicap by Tee at 100% — This shows what your handicap would be at 100% from any set of tees. This would likely be used only if you want to move back a set of tees - as you can tell the number of strokes gained by moving back a set of tees. As of now, the weather looks great for Friday and Saturday, with possible rain on Sunday.   I’ll deal with each day’s weather as it comes up and make sure everyone receives an update about the upcoming day.   In case i don't have your cell number, please feel free to email it to me so I will have it for texting.   If anybody has any questions, please feel free to reach out to me by email at kennyb@dosriosgolf.club or on my cell phone at 830-237-9552, either by text or call.   KennyB Ken Brazle Dos Rios Golf Club USGA/TGA Member Club 170 E.
