Format: There will be gross and net prizes awarded each day. A trophy will be awarded to the overall low gross and low net teams from both days.
This tournament is played under a modified Chapman format.
- You will have a single score for each hole.
- Each partner plays a stroke with their own ball from the appropriate teeing ground.
- The second stroke must then be played with where the partner’s ball came to rest, or, after proceeding under a Rule, where the partner’s ball comes to rest. (See Note 2 below for Par 3’s)
- After both partners have played the second stroke, a single ball must be chosen to score with and the other ball must be picked up.
- The partners must play the ball, alternating strokes, until they have holed out with the chosen ball.
Note 1 – Penalty strokes incurred do not affect the order of play.
Note 2 – During the play of Par 3 holes both partners play a stroke from the teeing ground and before making the second stroke, must choose a ball with which they wish to score with and pick up the other ball. The partners must play the ball, alternating strokes, until they have holed out with the chosen ball.
