Players will be given a point value based on their net scores for each hole as follows: Double Eagle or better - 8 pts., Eagle – 5 pts., Birdie – 2 pts., Par – 1 pt., Bogey – 0 pts., Double Bogey or worse - -1 pt. Players will be assigned to separate divisions based on age “Senior” 55-64 and “Super Senior” 65+. Players will be placed in flights and compete in this event using their handicap index from their August 15th handicap revision. Players will receive 100% of their course handicap. Players are required to play from designated tees based off assignment, unless previously arranged and approved by the committee. The top finishers in each flight will receive gift card money to Golf Mart stores.

Play will begin at 9:20 a.m. with tee times in 10-minute intervals off the No. 1 tee of the Mountain-Canyon Course rotation. Please be at your assigned tee ready for play 10 minutes prior to your start time. There you will exchange scorecards with your fellow-competitors and be able to pay into an optional skins game.

 

PACE OF PLAY & RULES: Please be sure to keep up with the group in front of you. Groups that miss their 18-hole checkpoint (finishing over the designated time and more than 14 minutes behind the group in front of them) are subject to a two-stroke penalty.  In order to keep an adequate pace of play, players are asked to pick up once maximum score has been reached on a respective hole; failure to do so will result in a two-stroke penalty.

          The Rules of Golf as approved by the USGA and the R & A are in effect. It is the player’s responsibility to have a working knowledge of the rules. For more information regarding the rules, players can visit the NCGA’s website: https://ncga.org/rules/

 

MAXIMUM SCORE:  A net double-bogey.

 

SERIOUS MISCONDUCT & DRESS CODE: A player who is removed from the course for Serious Misconduct will result in a loss of all funds and potentially a suspension from future events. Players and Caddies are to dress appropriately. For more information, please refer to the NCGA Weekend Net Tour Hard Card. 

 

PLAYER OF THE YEAR: The top-20 overall net scores will receive points on the Senior Series Player of the Year list for their finish, while the remaining players on a side will receive participation points for completing an 18-hole round. In partner formats, players split points based on the distribution table of points. Players who do not have an established numeric handicap index are ineligible receive placement points.

 

GIFT CARD DISTRIBUTION: The top performers in each flight will win gift cards to GolfMart stores. These will be distributed by email and will be done in batches, so gift card monies may not be received for up to 6 weeks. Also, any skins not claimed at the close of competition will be paid out by GolfMart gift cards. Players who do not have an established numeric handicap index are ineligible to win gift cards. Please be sure your email in Golf Genius is up to date.

 

TIES: Ties for gift card prizes will be settled using USGA recommendations of a card off: best back 9 net score, best back 6 (net), best back 3 (net), followed by best 18th hole (net), finally, tie-break by coin-flip.
