SIS CHOATE PINEHURST TOURNAMENT

 

Entry Fee: $150 per team (2 players)

Days: 1

 

Eligibility: An entry is submitted for a team of two “A” players with a Handicap Index maximum of 14.0 or two “B” players with a Handicap Index minimum of 14.1, or a combination of one “A” player and one “B” player. 

 

Format: 18 holes of Pinehurst stroke play. Pairings made by the Committee. In Pinehurst format both partners drive; each plays a second stroke with the other’s ball; they then select the ball with which they will play alternate strokes thereafter. The player with the lower Course Handicap receives 60 percent of her Course Handicap. The player with the higher Course Handicap receives 40 percent of her Course Handicap. Add the percentage allowances together then round off.  The total with .5 or higher is rounded upward. This becomes the team’s Course Handicap. Trophies awarded to the members of the low gross team; prizes awarded to the members of the low net team. Ties for the gross trophy will be decided by an immediate hole-by-hole playoff beginning on the first hole. A player not present for a playoff must forfeit. Ties for the net prize will be decided by matching cards. The winner will be determined on the basis of the best net score for the last nine holes on the second day.  If still tied, the winner will be determined on the basis of the best net score for the last six holes, the 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 a tie is not broken by this procedure, a winner will be determined by blind draw.
