You must play in your flight on Sunday, no special requests will be considered. Sunday draw will be emailed after all play is completed on Saturday.
- Your placement in a flight is determined by the lowest playing handicap of either partner based on the tee your Division will be playing from.
- The event is a two person scramble. Winners are determined by the lowest total gross score over two days.
- Prize values are based on the number of entries in each Division.
- Rules for the event will be attached to your scorecard on the first day, please keep this on hand for day two.
- Clean up from Fiona is an ongoing process and there are sections of the course that will be played as ground under repair; for example the right side of hole 8 where many trees have been taken out.
- Ground Under Repair Rule -
Ground under repair is an area on the golf course considered unfit for play. A player can drop out of this area with no penalty. Ground under repair is normally marked by a white circle or stakes.
When dropping from ground under repair, you must take the nearest point of relief (stance) and one club length. Make sure you drop the ball no closer to the hole. The ball must be dropped from knee-height.
If you are still standing in the ground under repair after you dropped, you must drop again. Your ball is in play after you have dropped and there is no interference from the ground under repair.
It is not mandatory to drop from ground under repair. You always have the option to play a ball from ground under repair unless the golf course or committee prohibits it.
- Driver Draw - We will be selling tickets on a driver of your choice (value up to $800) on Saturday. Tickets will cost $10 each or 3 for $20. Draw will take place after Saturday's round.
Enjoy the weekend, play well!
