FORMAT:  Best-Ball Net. Teams of two compete, and will play their own ball for 18 holes and will be assigned to separate flights based off their team handicap index as of his/her February 15th handicap revision. Men will receive 90% of their course handicap, Women receive 95% per USGA guidelines*. Teams who have a handicap difference of greater than 8 strokes take a further 10% reduction. The top finishers in each flight will receive gift card money to Golf Mart stores. Since this is a team event, players are required to play from the tees assigned, below.

 

*A separate division for teams where both players are members of an NCGA eClub will be established. This division is solely for the purposes of determining the teams who will qualify from the San Francisco and North Bay eClubs. Championship regulations stipulate a maximum handicap of 18.4 for any player. Gift cards will NOT be given out based on this division. All players will be shown in a separate division without this handicap maximum imposed, for purposes of awarding gift cards, skins, and WNT player of the year points.

 

Tees:   

Men: White (6,207 yards)

Women: Burgundy (5,376 yards)

 

Play will begin at 8:00 a.m. with tee times in 10 minute intervals off the Nos. 1 and 10 tees of the South Course. Please be at your assigned tee ready for play 10 minutes prior to your start time. There you will exchange scorecards with your fellow-competitors, and be able to pay into an optional skins game. The top 25 overall net scores will receive points on the Weekend Net Tour Player of the Year list for their finish, while the remaining players will receive participation points for completing an 18-hole round. Team points are split among both teammates. Players who do not have an established numeric handicap index are ineligible to win prizes, skins, or placement points.

 

PACE OF PLAY & RULES: Please be sure to keep up with the group in front of you. Groups that miss their 18-hole checkpoint (finishing over the designated time and more than 14 minutes behind the group in front of them) are subject to a two-stroke penalty.  In order to keep an adequate pace of play, players are asked to pick up once maximum score has been reached on a respective hole.  Players who do not pick up when they have reached maximum score and have their group fall out of position because of their failure to follow this policy are subject to a two-stroke penalty.

 

Max Scores:  A gross quintuple bogey. (Par 3s = 8; Par 4s = 9, Par 5s =10)

 

Other than the max score rule, the 2017-2018 Rules of Golf are in effect. It is the player’s responsibility to have a working knowledge of the rules. For more information regarding the rules of golf players can visit the NCGA’s website: https://ncga.org/rules/

 

TIES: Ties for gift card prizes will be settled using USGA recommendations of a card off: best back 9 net score, best back 6 (net), best back 3 (net), followed by best 18th hole (net), finally, tie-break by coin-flip.

 

DRESS CODE & COURSE ETIQUETTE:  Players are to wear proper golf attire: no denim, no cut-off clothing, collared shirts, hats off inside the clubhouse, etc. Players should behave in an appropriate manner and avoid using foul language. The NCGA does have the right to remove anyone for not abiding by these rules at any time. Being removed from property would result in the loss of all funds.
