The UTE - Format(s):

The UTE now features (2) two rounds using Stableford (Points) scoring.

 

All scoring will be done via Golf Genius OnCourse Mobile App and a paper scorecard. Groups will be asked to keep both. The online score is the official score.

 

Round 1 - 18 Holes Four-ball Net and Gross with Stableford Scoring

 

HCP ALLOWANCE: The handicap allowance for 18-hole Four-ball Net is 85 %.

 

Each team member plays his/her own ball.

Par 4’s - The better ball is the team score.

Par 3’s and 5’s - Both balls combined count for team score.

After Round 1 players will submit scorecards and eat lunch. The field will be divided into 2 Divisions (Championship and Consolation). The teams in the top half of the leader board will be placed into the Championship Division and play the back 9. The teams in the bottom half will be placed in the Consolation and play the front 9. Ties will be decided via USGA Match of Cards starting with the back 9 score, if still tied - last 6 holes, if still tied - last 3 holes, if still tied #18.

Round 2 - 9  Holes Pinehurst Net and Gross with Stableford Scoring

 

HCP ALLOWANCE: The 18-Hole Handicap Index for each team member is halved and converted into a 9-Hole Course Handicap (CH). The Low Handicap team member receives 60 % CH and the High Handicap team member receives 40 % CH.

 

Pinehurst:
Both team members play their tee shots and then play their partner's ball on the 2nd shot. For the third shot, the team selects the better of the two balls in play. They finish the hole by alternating shots until the ball is holed.
