  • Both players then retrieve their golf ball and play their next shot from within one scorecard length of the chosen ball, No nearer to the hole.
  • If the chosen ball comes to rest in the rough, then all team shots must be played from the rough (you cannot place a ball in the fairway UNLESS the original shot was in the fairway).
  • The above process continues for every shot until the ball is holed out (1 score on the card per hole)
  • The team captain is responsible for recording the scores onto the scorecard

    Shots from the fairways may be placed within ONE SCORECARD LENGTH of the position of the selected ball no nearer the hole. The position of the selected ball must be marked with a tee peg.

  1. Handicap Allowance
  • Maximum playing allowed handicaps are 54 for ladies and juniors (boys and girls) and 36 for men.
  • The best teams are when one player plays good and another one is just a beginner!
  • A 10% of a sum of a handicaps will be subtracted from a final score of a team to motivate beginners to play in the event.
    • If Player A has 18 HCP and Player B has 36 HCP they will get (18+36) – 90% = 5.4 to subtract from a final score for 9 holes
    • So if they shoot 40 for a 9 holes final results will be 40-5.4 = 34.6 towards places
    • If Player A has 8 HCP and Player B has 12 HCP they will get (8+12) – 90% = 2 to subtract from a final score for 9 holes
    • So if they shoot 36 for a 9 holes final results will be 36-2 = 34 towards places

 

  1. Pace of play

     Each player is responsible for the pace of play. The recommended 9 hole timing for this format will be 2 hours 30 minutes. Players/group will be asked to move forward by the Marshal if they fall behind the group in front.
