Conditions of the Competition

 

Eligibility

Two person teams of either a primary or extended member. Members may create their own foursome or sign up as a two person team to be paired by the tournament coordinator. Handicaps will be used as of May 8th, 2023.

 

Format

 

Holes 1-6         Better Ball – Each player will play their own ball into the hole. Record both gross and net scores.

 

Holes 7-12       Captain’s Choice – Both players tee off. Select the best drive. Both players then hit from that spot and continue in this fashion until the ball is holed.  Ball may be placed within one club length, no nearer to the hole, except on the green, where it must be played from its original spot. Conditions must remain the same (ex. Rough-Rough). Record only your six-hole gross score.

 

Holes 13-18     Modified Alternate Shot – Both players tee off, each plays their partner’s ball for the 2nd shot. For the 3rd shot, select one ball to be played alternately into the hole. Other than holed putts and tee shots, players cannot hit any shots consecutively. Record only your six-hole gross score.

Tie Breaker

In the event of a tie, a scorecard playoff will be used to determine the winner. An acceptable method of matching cards is to determine the winner on the basis of the best score for the last nine holes. If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, determine the winner on the basis of the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 18th hole.

 

Prizes

Prizes awarded for 1st and 2nd place in both the gross and net divisions.
