 Note: Face coverings must be worn at all times indoors at Del Monte.

 

Format:

18 holes stroke play (Best Two Balls of Four). Two players from each club will be paired with two players from another club. For this format, the NCGA defines a “side” as the two players from a club playing together. Should a disqualification penalty affect the “side”, the other two players from that club are still eligible to compete. The two best balls can both come from the same “side” or one ball from one “side” and one from the other “side”. Play will be 85% of the Course Handicap using a maximum current Handicap Index of 18.4. All players with a Handicap Index of 18.5 and higher are eligible but must play to a maximum current Handicap Index of 18.4. Men will be playing from the WHITE tees and women will be playing from the RED tees. The number of qualifying spots available at each qualifying site will be determined based on the total number of teams and the final field size at each site. Final numbers of spots will be available from the Committee on the day of qualifying. Ties for the final qualifying spot will be determined by the USGA recommended method of matching scorecards. Qualifiers will advance to the Championship at Spyglass Hill GC / Poppy Hills GC on August 30 - 31, 2021.

 

Scoring Unfinished Holes:

If a player starts but does not complete a hole, their marker shall record an “X” followed by the score he most likely would have made. This score is for handicap purposes only and shall not exceed net double bogey.

 

Net Double Bogey = Double Bogey + any handicap strokes you receive

Scoring: Players are expected to download the USGA TM app (or GolfGenius). The GGID for the group is available on the scorecard PDF available above. This GGID will also be texted to each player and available with the starter.

  • Within the group, players should enter scores for one other player.  If someone does not have a phone available, players must ensure at least one player in the group is entering scores.
  • At the end of the round, all players in the group must confirm hole-by-hole scores posted online are correct.  This can be done using the Leaderboard in the app or online in this event portal.
  • Any issues with scores after leaving your group must be communicated to staff via text, call or email no later than one hour after the final group has entered the 18th hole scores.  After that time, the scorecard is treated as officially returned and certified. Staff contact information is available in the Notice to Players linked above.
  • For guidance using the Mobile Scoring App, please see this training video.

Deciding Ties:  Ties for the final qualifying spot will be broken by the USGA recommended method of matching scorecards (Committee Procedures, Section 5A(6)).
