Teams can only compete in one and must decide at the time of entry. Details are listed below:
- Gross Championship (approx. 5,600+ yards):
18-Holes, Four-Ball, Stroke Play (Better Ball of Partners). In the event of a tie for the Championship, a hole-by-hole playoff will begin immediately upon the completion of play to determine the winners.
- Net Competition (5,400 yards or less):
18-Holes, Four-Ball, Stroke Play (Better Ball of Partners). Each team member that enters the Net division receives 85% of her Course Handicap for Net scoring, based on the May 24, 2023 Handicap Revision. Players will be flighted according to their current Handicap Index (as of the May 24, 2023 Revision). Flight breakdown and number of flights will be announced on-site and will depend on the total number of entries. A Senior flight (in the Net division) will consist of teams on which both players are age 50 or above on May 24. Any tie in another flight will be broken by the USGA method for the matching of cards.
Transportation: Motorized transportation is available in this Championship and the cart fee is included in the team’s entry.
Caddies: Permitted; a player may bring her own caddie. See separate notice on Cart/Caddie Policy.
