FORMAT

18 holes of Pinehurst stroke play. Pairings made by the Committee. In Pinehurst format both partners drive; each plays a second stroke with the other’s ball; they then select the ball with which they will play alternate strokes thereafter. The player with the lower Course Handicap receives 60 percent of his/her Course Handicap. The player with the higher Course Handicap receives 40 percent of his/her Course Handicap. Add the percentage allowances together then round off. The total with .5 or higher is rounded upward. This becomes the team’s Course Handicap. Trophy awarded to the low gross team; prizes awarded to the low net team. Ties for the gross trophy will be decided by an immediate hole-by-hole playoff beginning on the first hole. A player not present for a playoff must forfeit. Ties for the net prize will be decided by matching cards. The winner will be determined on the basis of the best net score for the last nine holes on the second day. 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.

      

Member-Member division will be played as a better ball.
