partners need to decide who will play from the even numbered tees and who will play from the odd numbered tees.
Penalty strokes do not affect the order of play. ROUND 1: The Chardonnay course will be played as holes 1-9 and
Zinfandel will be 10-18. ROUND 2: The Merlot course will be 1-9 and Chardonnay course will be played as holes 10-18.
FLIGHTS/HANDICAPS: There will be two flights (Open and Parent/Child). Awards will be given for the overall low gross team (which can come from either flight) and first, second, and third net in both flights. The July 15th Handicap revision will be used during the competition to determine the sides’ Course Handicap. The allowance for the side is 50 percent of the partners’ combined Course Handicap. Men in both flights will play the WHITE yardage. Women in both flights will play the GOLD yardage.
