The Richmond Tour Championship
The Golf Club at Brickshire
Providence Forge, Virginia
August 10th & 11th, 2019
EVENT OVERVIEW
Open to ALL Tour Players and DOUBLE MERIT POINTS
EDIT to the above statement as of 8-11-19 at 10pm
Based on the GCAT Player Handbook from 2010 - Revised 2019 V1 - TOURNAMENT POLICIES Section 11 - Only Richmond Tour Players will receive the Double Points.
Here is section 11:
If there are 10 tour players or fewer in a flight, the points will be totaled from the bottom up. For example: In a flight with fewer than 10 tour players, the last place finisher in the flight will receive 30 points, second to last will receive 40 points and so on up the schedule of points, with the flight winner earning a 25 point bonus. Tour Players may compete in as many tournaments as they choose, however, only the best 12 finishes will count for the Race to Nationals standings. For example, Tour Player A plays in 15 tournaments of 11+ players and finishes in 3rd place each time (15 tournaments x 100 points). Tour Player A will have accrued 1,500 total points, but his total for the Race to Nationals would be 1,200 points (12 x 100 is 1,200 points). Double points will only be offered at Major Championships and your local (home) Tour Championship. All other tournaments will offer points as described above. For example: San Diego has a Tour Championship and Los Angeles has a Tour Championship. A member from the San Diego Tour may play in the LA Tour Championship, however it will only be worth single points as described above. The San Diego player may receive double points only in the San Diego Tour Championship and Major Championships.
This year’s 2 Day Richmond Tour Championship will be held at the pristine Golf Club at Brickshire.
Voted 1st Runner Up in Best Golf Course Category in 2018 Richmond Times Dispatch Best of Richmond.
Architect Tom Clark laid out four sensational emulation holes, along with 14 originals with the help of Curtis Strange.
The fast, well-tended greens make Brickshire Golf Club a top rate golfing experience.
Brickshire Golf Club provides a fair test for golfers of all skill levels with five sets of tees.
With uphill and downhill shots, uneven lies, wetlands, and water, no two holes are even remotely alike.
