Fox Hollow Men's Golf Club's 45th Anniversary Year
2020 Application and Schedule Have Been Posted
COVID-19 Impact on FHMGC
The FHMGC BOD is encouraging all members and their families to follow the guidelines established by the CDC for social distancing.
We hope that you and your families are well and safe, practicing safe distancing, and following the Governor’s Home Order of March 29, 2020 during this pandemic.
The following was posted on the Baltimore Golfing (BaltimoreGolfing.com) website following the Home Order from Governor Hogan.
“COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Update, March 29, 2020 - All Golf Courses, Driving Ranges and Food and Beverage Departments will be closed indefinitely following the Shelter and Home Order from Gov. Hogan. We are looking forward to opening and hosting your rounds of golf when our State Officials deem it to be safe to do so. Once we open, we will do so in some form of transition and will communicate that to you. Stay safe and we will see you soon.”
Therefore, the Fox Hollow Men’s Golf Club will postpone all scheduled tournaments until further notice based on the Home Order from the Governor and the Baltimore Golfing notice on their website. We are communicating frequently with Chris Hanson, Head Golf Pro at Fox Hollow, who does not know when the courses operated by the Baltimore County Revenue Authority (BCRA) will reopen.
In order to maintain some continuity, the BOD will be maintaining communications with the FHMGC membership throughout the COVID-19 pandemic via email at a minimum of every 2-4 weeks or as necessary. In addition, The BOD will be holding virtual meetings and will be developing 2020 schedules as a function of when we expect to start the 2020 season. For example, we will develop schedules based on a May, June, and July start dates. Therefore, we will have a plan when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.
Please email John Wood at johnwoodgolf@gmail.com if you have any comments or questions.

FOX HOLLOW CUP - NEW FORMAT FOR FOR FINALS
The Fox Hollow Cup is a season long competition where you are awarded points for each tournament you play in based upon your finish. Standings will be posted here after each tournament.
Regular season will end after the away tournament. The top 16 earn the right to receive points during the Fall Handicap. The top 8 after the Fall Handicap may compete in the finals concurrent with the turkey shoot. (Tournament is still open to all whether in the top 16/8 or not. This is a separate competition).
New for 2020- EVERYONE in the top 8 could win regardless of points. Stroke adjustments will be made to give an advantage to the higher finishers but it will still all come down to the last tournament.
