POLICIES, PROCEDURES, & GUIDELINES:

 

TEAM ROSTER:

  • Team Captains must have their lineups in the Portal no later than 12 p.m. on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.

 

FORMAT:

  • 18-hole individual and four-ball match play, utilizing the current Handicap Index as of Monday, April 21, 2025.
  • Awards will be given to the team who accumulates the most four-ball and singles points in total for each the Blue and Gray matches.
  • In the event of a tie, the total points earned by Club A’s teams 1 and 2 (both four-ball and individual matches) shall be compared to the total points earned by Club B’s teams 1 and 2.  The Club with the most points wins the tiebreaker and the match.  If a tie still exists, the total points earned by each club’s teams 3 and 4 will be compared.  If a tie still exists, this same procedure will be used for teams 5 and 6, then 7 and 8 until a winner is determined.

 

REGISTRATION:

  • Team Captains will check in with SCGA staff upon arrival and receive food vouchers for their team. We ask that the captain check in no later than 30 minutes before the team’s first starting time. Registration will be located near the putting green.

 

PRACTICE ROUNDS:

  • Players may make arrangements for practice rounds at their own expense by contacting Sandpiper GC at (805) 968-1541 or visit sandpipergolf.com. Practice rounds are available at the course’s discretion and based upon availability. 
  • Practice rounds are a privilege, not a right. The SCGA works with a variety of facilities throughout the course of the year, all of which have unique policies and procedures when it comes to practice rounds. These opportunities will be provided at the sole discretion of the host facility.
  • We are guests and must follow all facility policies and guidelines when on property. Behavior during practice rounds will be subject to the SCGA Code of Conduct.
