The Torrington Country Club

 

2025 Member - Member Tournament

 

GOLF FORMAT

 

 

 

The tournament will be played as a round robin with six teams per flight, playing five 9-hole matches.  As recommended by the U.S.G.A., each player will be using ½ of his 18-hole 80% handicap for each nine holes played.

 

All players in a given match will stroke off the lowest of the four handicaps. Handicaps will be calculated at 80% of the player’s full handicap for this event. Strokes are based on scorecard from the starting hole.  The ½ stroke rule applies, whereby, if a team wins a hole by ½ shot, it counts the same as winning the hole by 1 shot.

 

Ties for first and second place will be decided by a sudden death playoff beginning at the first hole.

 

There will be prizes for first and second place finishes per flight.

 

Optional $120.00 per team hat pool.  Split ($360.00 1st place, $240.00 2nd place).  The team that finishes out of the money on Sunday and who has the most points for Sunday’s two matches total will receive $120.00. 

 

Optional $80.00 per team Skins Game.  Team prizes gross and net.  Net winners must score a net eagle.  All gross and nets are on a two-tie all tie-basis.  The $80.00 Skins Game covers Saturday, and Sunday.

 

Match Scoring:

 

All flights will use a 10-point system

  • 1 point for winning a hole
  • ½ point for tying a hole
  • 1 Bonus point for winning the 9-hole match
  • 0 points for losses
