FORMAT
Aggregate of two rounds of 18 holes. Full Course Handicap. Pairings made by the Committee. Second day starting times will be determined by first day results. One ball condition is NOT in affect. A player, who fails to compete the second day, risks the penalty of disqualification for the rest of the season, at the discretion of the VP of Competitions. Trophies awarded to the low gross winner and the low net winner. Ties for the gross trophy will be decided by an immediate 3-hole playoff beginning on the first hole and, if necessary, a hole-by-hole playoff to determine the winner. Ties for the net trophy will be decided by matching cards. The winner will be determined on the basis of the best net score for the last nine holes. If still tied, the winner will be determined on the basis of the best net score for the last six holes, the last three holes and finally the 18th hole. One-half, one-third, one-sixth and one-eighteenth of each player’s Course Handicap will be deducted to determine the best net score. If a tie is not broken by this procedure, a winner will be determined by blind draw.
