ENTRY FEE/DEADLINE

All teams (four players) are required to pay an entry fee of $340 which includes all course fees (including cart) and lunch for the day of competition.  In addition, the VSGA will negotiate a discounted practice round fee with Devils Knob Golf Course.  A completed entry form, accompanied by the entry fee, must be received in the VSGA office by Monday, May 13, 2019.

FORMAT

18-hole four-woman captain's choice competition with gross and net prizes. There will be one shotgun start at 10 a.m. Each player's handicap will be determined for Devils Knob Golf Course and the A player will receive 20% of her handicap, the B player will receive 15% of her handicap, the C player will receive 10% of her handicap, and the D player will receive 5% of her handicap to determine the team handicap.  The May 15th Handicap Index will be used. Each shotgun's field will be divided into divisions as equally as possible by team handicap.

FIELD SIZE/TOURNAMENT MAKE-UP

The field will be limited to 50 teams (25 per shotgun). If the number of entries exceeds the maximum allowable entrants, the field will be determined by blind draw.  The Committee reserves the right to condense the tournament to one shotgun based on number of entries.

PRIZES

There will be an overall low gross and low net prize which may come from any division in both shotguns. Additional gross and net prizes will be awarded in each division for both shotguns.
