Then a choice is made as to which ball the team will complete the hole from, continuing with alternate shots until the ball is holed.

 

Players will choose the division they wish to compete in (Championship or Field) upon registration. Players must compete in the Championship division to be eligible to earn POY points. If both partners are ages 50+ in the Championship division, players will earn an equal amount of Senior POY points as they do POY points. Championship division will only payout for GROSS.
