The Ontario Cobe Life Cup Golf Tour

I’ve had a few people ask me if the Cobe Life Cup is right for them. I’ve realized that the easiest way to answer this question is by asking them to answer a few questions first. Their answers would determine if the Cobe Life Cup is right for them.

These are the questions I would ask.

1 – Do you play golf at least once a month between the months of May and September?

2 – Do you usually play golf with at least one other person?

3 – Do you usually keep track of your score so you know if you’re improving?

4 – Are you interested in winning Golf Equipment?

5 – Are you interested in knowing how your game compares to others of a similar handicap?

If you answered Yes more times than No? Then the Cobe Life Cup is probably right for you.

The only thing I would add is that the four Major Tournaments are held at courses in Michigan, Ohio, New York, and Ontario, Canada. So if you are really interested in getting the most out of this competition. It would benefit you to live in one of those areas, or close by.

What are the benefits of the Cobe Life Cup as compared to other Amateur Golf Tours?

I specifically designed the Cobe Life Cup to be an easy, accessible, and fun Tour that anyone could participate in. The events aren’t scheduled on any particular day. Once a week you can play against another Registered Player or Players, and post the results. Lets say that you and a friend from work are both Registered Players. If you celebrate the end of the work week with a twilight 9 Hole Round. Then you could use the Match Play Rules and Post the result. Your Tournament record and Cobe Life Cup Ranking will be updated by the next Monday. If you would like to organize a Foursome, you could post a Round challenge for a couple additional Players to join you. The beauty of it is, is that it’s entirely up to you.
As long as you post one tournament Round of Golf per month you qualify for the Monthly giveaways. For those of you that love to Win stuff here’s the best part! The only people that are eligible to win are Registered Players. This being the first Season of the Cobe Life Cup, there won’t be a lot of Players. Your chances of winning a Driver, or Putter are very good. We have all signed up to win a Driver through Social Media from Accounts that have thousands of Subscribers. The majority of those contests aren’t even open to Canadians. You can see why I wanted to start something that’s includes Canadians.

I have even made the four Majors as easy to attend as possible. Instead of holding it on a particular day. The final 7 days of the month will have a specific course that you can play to Post your score. You pick which day, at whatever time suits you to play against at least one other Registered Player and then Post your score as normal. The following week the full results will be revealed.

It should be obvious at this point that you don’t have to be a Scratch Golfer to be competitive in the Cobe Life Cup. A High Handicapper has just as much opportunity to be at the top of the Rankings as somebody in the single digits. Just do your best to beat your buddies. Especially if they have a lower Handicap than you. With the bonus Mulligan system you could find yourself winning more often than you expected.

Before you know it, this fun competition will not only motivate you to play more. It will slowly but surely help you improve your game, and ultimately lower your handicap.

In the end that’s what the Cobe Life Cup is all about.

Cobe Life Cup F.A.Q.

How long is the Season?

The season runs from May 1rst until the end of September. The Tour Championship will be held in October.

Do you have to play specific golf courses?

No, you can play the courses you regularly play. All you need to play a Cobe Life Cup tournament Round of Golf is another Registered opponent.

Do you need to play Full length 18 hole courses?

No, you can play a 9 hole Match Play against another Registered opponent. You can use any of the scoring systems on any 18 hole golf course. Even Par 3 only Executive Courses.

What if I don’t know my Handicap?

Not a problem. You will need to provide us with your best score from last year, and which course you shot it on. We will send you a starting Handicap from that information, and also a few suggestions on how to calculate your Handicap from then on.

Do I need to be a high ranking Player to qualify for prizes?

No, just being registered qualifies you for the monthly giveaways. Of course if you want to win the Tour Championship Trophy you will have to win.

I’m a total Beginner, so is this Tournament right for me?  

Yes, you are exactly the type of golfer we are hoping will join. Playing with other golfers of better ability will help you learn the game faster. Also our Mulligan system will help eliminate the brutal Blow Up Holes that kill Beginner’s scores.

I live a few hours out of Toronto.  Is that too far?

Absolutely not. As long as there are Registered Opponents in your area to play against you are fine. In fact the Cobe Life Cup Tour Open Majors will be taking place in Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Southern Ontario. There will be one in the West, one in the North, one in the East, and one in the Greater Toronto area.

Will Rounds I play outside of Ontario count?

Yes, provided they are played against a Registered opponent. Have a trip planned to Myrtle Beach with a few friends and plan on playing a few Rounds of golf. As long as they are registered you can get in a Tour Round of Golf.

How will you prevent people from cheating?

Every Round of Golf you play towards the Tour Rankings must be against a Registered Opponent, and you keep each other’s scores during the Round. This Tour is really about having fun, building a strong golfing community in Southern Ontario, and the neighbouring states. Then seeing how you stack up against other golfers of your skill level. Cheating is basically pointless.

I don’t play very often.  How will I keep up?

You can only play a maximum of 5 Ranked Rounds of Golf per month. Registered Players are allowed to report one Round of Golf each week, and an additional Round of Golf the final week of each month. Remember that you can lose points with a loss so playing the maximum number of Rounds can work against you also. You gain additional points for beating a Player of a Higher Rank so it’s possible to catch up quickly if you defeat the right opponents.

Where will I be able to track my current Ranking?

Every Monday the Ranks will be fully updated and posted on this website, and on the Cobe Life Golf Facebook Page. If you shoot any videos of your Round, or take pictures. they can be shared at your request on both Forums.

I’m having trouble finding opponents?

If you are looking for an opponent you can use the Cobe Life Facebook Page to find one in your area. I will create a Opponent request Post for anyone to use each week.
