Qualifying ringers are from a completed 18-hole round only. Any improved score on your ringer card (after the initial posting) must also be circled on your scorecard. Be sure your first name, last name and date are on your signed scorecard before placing it in the Ringer Box. A signed and dated scorecard MUST be turned in weekly to receive credit for ringers.
