OVERVIEW

Must be 21 years of age to participate.

FORMAT

Four-Person Team ``Step Aside/Florida`` Scramble. On each hole, all members of the team may hit a tee shot from their designated tee. The team then selects one of the tee shots and marks the spot from which to play. The player whose shot is selected WILL NOT play the next shot (Step Aside). On each stroke (except for the tee shot, which all four golfers play) one team member is always stepping aside. This procedure is repeated until the ball is holed.

ELIGIBILITY

Age Limit: min: 21        Index Limit: max: 36

TIES

In the event of a tie for first place in the Championship, under Committee Procedures 5A(6)c (play-of in stroke play), a hole-by-hole playoff will commence immediately following the round. At the Committee?s discretion, a hole-by-hole playoff may be deemed infeasible due to darkness, weather, or any other reason. In this scenario, and in the case of a tie for any other place, the Committee will use the USGA recommendation for breaking ties, found in Committee Procedures 5A(6)d. The definition of the term ``last nine holes`` will be holes 10-18.

HANDICAP ALLOWANCE

A team`s total index will be used to establish a team course handicap based on the recommended USGA handicap formula specific for scramble play. An individual player`s index is based off the USGA Handicap Index effective seven days prior to the event and will be capped at a Course Handicap of 36.
