FORMAT

Two-Person team format with qualifying teams competing in 18 holes of Net Better Ball. Two competitors play as partners, each playing his or her own ball while using handicap strokes. The lower Net score of the partners is the score for the team on that hole, thus taking the score of the better ball on each hole. It is the player`s responsibility to know the holes at which handicap strokes are to be given or received.

ELIGIBILITY

Teams must have compiled enough points during the qualifying stage to advance to the Championship.

FIELD

ADDT'L INFO

Net Better Ball: Players will receive 100% of handicap. Should the difference between the team members` indexes (effective seven days prior) exceed 4.4, the extra strokes will be deducted from the higher index.

Scramble: A team`s total index will be used to establish a team course handicap based on the recommended USGA handicap formula: 35% A Player (Lowest Handicap) and 15% B Player (2nd Lowest Handicap).

Stableford: Players will receive 85% of their handicap based on the USGA handicap recommendation. Points are awarded to a player for each hole by comparing the player’s score to the fixed target score for the hole.

Indexes are based off the USGA Handicap Index effective seven days prior.

Senior players (55+) will play from the White tees; Super Senior players (65+) will play from hybrid tees denoted by CDGA markers; Women will play from the Forward (Natural) tees.
