PLAYOFFS: Trophies will be awarded for First, Second and Third Place in each age group. In case of ties there will be a playoff for First Place Only. If there are more than two people tied for first place there will be a playoff for all three spots. If no ties for First exist, Second and Third places will be determined by matching cards on the basis of the best score for the last nine holes.
