ELIGIBILITY

• The competition is open to amateurs and professionals, male and female, with no age restriction.
• Since all players will be participating as a team, tournament expectation is all entrants will share a cart.
• At least one team member must be a member/pro at a JAGA member club or affiliated with one in the case of public facilities (i.e., plays the course on a regular basis).
• All entrants must have a current handicap index from a USGA Handicap Certified and Licensed Club.
• Entries are subject to rejection at any time (including during the championship) by the Tournament Committee. 

 

FORMAT OF PLAY

• The two-person better-ball format calls for each partner to play their own ball, with the better score of the pair on each hole being recorded as the team score. All Entrants compete in both the Gross and Net categories simultaneously; however, a team is only eligible to win one (1) prize. Established handicaps will be adjusted for the Net competition based on the USGA handicap system and course tee ratings.

 

YARDAGES

Male (Under 59) - Black Tees (Approximately 6400 yards)

Male (60 and over) - White Tees (Approximately 6000 yards)

Male (70 and over)—Green tees (Approximately 5700 yards 

Female - Red Tees (Approximately 4700 yards)

Male Pros—6700 Yards

Female Pros—6000 Yards 

 

HANDICAPS

• In the Net competition, 85% of handicap indexes will be allocated.
• Partners must not have a handicap difference of more than 10 strokes.  Partners can register to play with a greater difference, but in these cases the higher handicap player will be adjusted to a handicap of no more than 10 strokes greater than the lower handicap player.
• An equitable USGA system stroke-adjustment method based on course ratings will be used to determine handicap based on tees played.  Players on a team may play from different tees.

 

PLACE/TIES/PRIZES

• Gross and Net winners will be based on the lowest scores for 18-holes.  Ties for all places will first be decided based on the lowest back nine score (10-18), then by scores of the lowest last six holes (13-18), then by the lowest scores of the last three holes (16-18), then by a coin flip by the Committee.
• Approximately one-third of the field will receive Marsh Landing  Country Club Golf Shop certificates, redeemable after the Awards Ceremony concludes.
