Format and Prizes: 36-hole stroke play competition. In case of a tie, a hole-by-hole playoff will determine the gross champion in the Men’s Championship and Women’s Divisions. A tie of two players for the runner up position in the Men’s Championship and Women’s Divisions or either the gross or net champion in the Open Division will result in runner up awards being split and distribution of awards will be decided by lot. However, in the event of a tie of three players or more for the runner up position in any division the USGA recommended scorecard playoff will be used to determine who will receive the runner up awards (Jones Sports Co. product and trophies).
Men’s Championship Division: The Public Links title will be awarded to the gross champion and will receive an award from Jones Sports Co. The runner up in this division will also receive an award from Jones Sports Co. Prizes will be awarded to the top gross and net finishers, with more emphasis on gross.
Men’s Open Division: Prizes will be awarded to the top gross and net finishers. The gross and net champions will receive awards from Jones Sports Co.
