Format:
36 holes (18 holes per day) Mixed Chapman Stroke Play. In this format, two competitors play as partners as one side. Both players on a side tee off from their respective tees. Then Player A plays Player B's drive, and vice-versa. Players then select the better of the second shots, and from that point play alternate shot until the ball is holed.
Flights will be determined by combining the Handicap Index of both players on the team. Team Handicaps will be computed by combining 60% of the lower Course Handicap and 40% of the higher Course Handicap. The championship will be flighted and played using the March 15th Handicap Revision.
If necessary, there will be a play-off to determine first place in each flight immediately following the conclusion of play. If a play-off cannot be conducted (decision of the Committee and golf course) the USGA method of matching cards will be used. Ties for second place and third place, in each flight, will be broken using the USGA method of matching cards.
