FORMAT

One round of 18 holes of four-ball stroke play. Use 95% of each player’s Course Handicap, taking the strokes as they fall on the scorecard. The Course Handicap (after 95% allowance) of the members of a side may NOT differ by more than eight (8) strokes.  If a difference of more than eight (8) strokes cannot be avoided, an additional 10 percent reduction will be applied to the Course Handicap of each member of the side. Trophies awarded to the members of the low gross team; prizes awarded to the members of the low net team. Ties for the trophies or the prizes will be decided by matching cards. The winner of each will be determined on the basis of the best team score, gross or net as applicable, for the last nine holes of the second day.  If still tied, the winner will be determined on the basis of the best team score, gross or net as applicable, for the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 18th hole.  One-half, one-third, one-sixth and one-eighteenth of each player’s Course Handicap will be deducted to determine the best net score.  If this procedure does not break the tie, the winner will be determined by blind draw.

FOOD SERVICE

Continental breakfast will be served starting at 7:00AM. Lunch will also be served starting at 12:00PM. Breakfast & Lunch charges have been included in the entry fee (not including halfway house & alcoholic beverages).
