All roads in CG’s Match Play 2022 lead to Salish Cliffs – sign up today
C
ascade Golfer, much like the NCAA and its ‘March Madness’ basketball tournament, has its own crazy event. It’s the CG Match Play tourney that begins with ‘May Madness’ and ends with ‘August Lunacy.’ A 64-player field begins play at the end of May, and the field is then whittled down to the Elite Eight who advance once again to Salish Cliffs for a two-day tournament in August. This year marks the tenth edition of the tournament. Like the NCAAs, players are seeded in regions. Your opening match will be against someone with a similar handicap from your same area. You and your opponent decide which course and which tees to play. The winner moves on and plays a match about once a month. You’ll need to win three matches to move on to Salish Cliffs. It’s competitive certainly, but everyone can play because of the handicap system. A qualified handicap is therefore necessary to participate. Low handicappers need to play at their best throughout the tournament because the higher handicappers can occasionally spring up with an exceptional round for the upset. But the loaded-up handicapper also needs to play above his/her usual standard in each subsequent round for continued success. Whatever the skill level, the tournament puts a premium on clutch play. The cost to enter (and a Salish Cliffs 2-for-1 deal — a $100 value) is only $85. Keep winning and the prizes only get better. Enter at CGMatchPlay.com and let the fun begin.

The Setup
The Reward
There is a reason why we host our Cascade Golfer Match Play Final Eight at Salish Cliffs — it’s full of fantastic holes with all sorts of interesting decisions to make. When you stand on the first tee, staring at the massive maple tree down the right side, your first decision is only moments away. A bunker guards the left side off the tee along with a downhill side hill lie and rough. Split the fairway and you are in that 200-240 range to a bunkerless green. Tall grass with eat up anything long or right. It’s go time. Or is it?
Final Call
The Risk Although short of the green is fine and left may get a kick off the hill, anything right or long is toast. For those playing it safe, few shots are more frustrating than pulling the reigns back and still making a big number. With the fairway bunkers in play right or left for your layup, this hole puts you to the decision.
If your opening tee ball is good, then pat yourself on the pack and strap in. It is time to start your round at one under. The approach is slightly uphill to a relatively flat green. Anything short is a simple chip and anything left (but not long) should kick towards the green. Just don’t be right — at all.
Open to all golfers with a handicap

You conquered the opening tee jitters and now can take a crack at getting home in two. I like that spot. Salish Cliffs will giveth and taketh away so you must eat while you can. Give yourself a chance to start the round with a circle on the scorecard before heading to the very short par four 2nd hole. Don’t be scared to put your chips in the middle with this hand. Time to pull a head cover. Giddyup!
