Playing Teams: Players are encouraged to form a team and register as a foursome. Singles, two player or three player teams are welcomed to the event and all will be paired to create foursomes. This is a net event allowing all playing levels to compete.
Flights: Teams will be flighted. Teams will be handicapped based upon the USGA recomendation of 25%, 20%, 15% and 10% for the foursome. Percentages listed are for team players low handicap to high handicap.
Handicaps: Each player must have an established GHIN handicap index. Players without an established GHIN handicap will have one created by the Diamante Club Pro using the USGA’s Second Best Handicap system.
Breaking Ties: There will be no playoffs in the event. The Diamante Club Pro will be responsible for determining the winner by using the scorecard method.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The winning team of this CHI St Vincent Benefit event at Diamante can have any total team handicap of the four team members. However, if the winning team wishes to advance to the Applied Underwriters Invitational National Finals at Big Cedar Lodge held May 1-5, 2024 the following handicap limits will apply:
Each team must consist of four amateur players whose combined USGA Handicap Indexes total 43.0 or more. Only one member of each team may have a USGA Handicap Index of 8.0 or less. All four team members, however, may play with USGA Handicap Indexes higher than 8.0. There is no limit to each team's total USGA Handicap Index. Once each team has been formed with a minimum USGA Handicap Index of 43.0, then the team will compete with the other teams without handicap strokes. This is called competing at scratch.
When your team registers using the button below you will have the opportunity to select if you want to be included in the teams competing for advancing to the Invitational National Finals.
