Nineteen Cup
hosted by Nextee · Braine-l'Alleud
One match play tournament a month on TrackMan simulators, a season points race (the Critérium) and a Master in March. You tell us when you are free, we schedule your matches, the bay is set up and waiting.
Four steps, no headaches.
18-hole match play, net, on a preset TrackMan simulator: same course, same conditions for everyone. A match usually takes between 1 hour and 1 hour 30.
Your availability
When you register, you tick the times you can play. Then you join the tournament WhatsApp group.
We set the match
Nineteen Society matches both players' availability, books the bay at Nextee and posts the time of every match.
You play
10 minutes of warm-up together, then 18 holes. The course and the match play mode are already set up.
The proof
A photo of the TrackMan screen in the WhatsApp group. The draw is updated online.
A TrackMan handicap is required before your first match. No handicap yet? You are entitled, once, to 1 free hour on the simulator to play your 18 holes solo and get your TrackMan handicap. Players who already have a TrackMan handicap are not eligible. Book at hello@nextee.golf or in the Cup WhatsApp group.
Four rounds, four weeks.
Each round must be played by Sunday, 10pm. November course: Marco Simone, near Rome, the 2023 Ryder Cup course.
No consolation bracket this month: a player knocked out in round 1 gets a €10 voucher for the next tournament. If the draw grows to 32 players, the calendar is adjusted and announced before the draw is made.
This is what it looks like.
A preset bay, an opponent, 18 holes. Swings of varying orthodoxy, putts conceded with varying grace, and always the 19th hole a few steps away.
