A side will start the play of each hole and then select the team’s best shot. The partner may place a ball within six inches (no closer to the hole of the selected spot. The side plays their next stroke from the chosen spot. This procedure is followed on every shot until the ball is holed. Sides are required to select each partner’s tee shot at least six times throughout a round.

There you will exchange scorecards with your fellow-competitors, and be able to pay into an optional skins game. The top 25 overall net team scores will receive points on the Weekend Net Tour Player of the Year list for their finish, while the remaining teams will receive participation points for completing an 18-hole round. 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.
Maximum Scores: A gross quintuple bogey. (Par 3s = 8; Par 4s = 9, Par 5s =10)
