FORMAT: Four-Ball Net Stableford Points. Teams of two compete. Each player will play their own ball, with the best net score between teammates counting for the team score. Players will be given a point value base on their net scores for each hole as follows: Double Eagle – 8 pts, Eagle– 5 pts, Birdie – 2 pts, Par – 1 pt., Bogey – 0 pts, Double Bogey or worse – 1 pt. The top teams in each flight will receive gift card money to Golf Mart stores. Players are required to play from the designated tees based off their assigned flight. Men will play to 90% and women to 95% of their course handicap, with an additional reduction of 10% for teams with greater than 8 strokes handicap difference. Teams will be assigned to separate flights based off their handicap index. Players’ handicap indexes will be based off their May15th handicap revision.
Tees: (Tee assignment is required due to it being a team event)
(All) Men: Custom Three Poppy Tee (6,147 yards)
(All) Women: One Poppy Tee (5,215 yards)
Play will begin at 7:30 a.m. with tee times in 10 minute intervals off the Nos. 1 and 10 tees. 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 20 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)
Other than the maximum score rule, the USGA 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.
