BETTER BALL “B” CHAMPIONSHIP

 

Entry Fee: $150 per team (2 players)

Days: 1

 

Eligibility: Each team member must have a Handicap Index of minimum of 14.1 on the day entries close. If a subsequent handicap revision makes a team member ineligible for the event, the team will not be required to withdraw; however, she will be required to use the maximum allowable Index or her current Index whichever is lower.  If the player’s Index is lower than the minimum allowed for entry, she will not be eligible for a gross prize.  

Format: One round of 18 holes of four-ball stroke play. Pairings made by the Committee.  Use 85% of each player’s Course Handicap, taking the strokes as they fall on the scorecard. The Course Handicap (after 95% allowance) of the members of a side may NOT differ by more than eight (8) strokes.  If a difference of more than eight (8) strokes cannot be avoided, an additional 10 percent reduction will be applied to the Course Handicap of each member of the side. Trophies awarded to the members of the low gross team; prizes awarded to the members of 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.
