Format(s):
Three nine-hole rounds played under different formats. Each round will be a shotgun start with the first shotgun commencing at 8:00 a.m. All formats will be using the Stableford Points system for team net scores. Points will be awarded for a net bogie (1), par (2), birdie (3), eagle (4), double eagle (5). Winners will be determined by the total Stableford points accumulated for the three tournament rounds. A prize will also be awarded to the low Stableford score per format.
Four-Ball
Holes 1-9 (1st nine) – Four-Ball team Net (HCP % - 90*). The low net score per two man team.
Pinehurst
Holes 10-18 (2nd nine) – Pinehurst (HCP % - 60 Low, 40 High). Both players tee off, play each other’s second shot and select the better 3rd shot to play alternate shot until the ball is holed.
Shamble
Holes 19-27 (3rd nine) - Shamble (HCP %– 90*). Both players tee off and play their own ball until it is holed out from the spot of the better of the two drives.
* It is recommended that the Committee considers it a condition of four-ball stroke play competitions that the Course Handicap (after allowance) of the members of a side may not differ by more than eight strokes. A side with a large difference has an advantage over a side with a small Course Handicap difference. If a difference of more than eight strokes cannot be avoided, it is suggested that an additional 10 percent reduction be applied to the Course Handicap of each member of the advantaged side.
