Format: Net and gross stroke play 36-hole event
Rules:
Play any of the tees and adjust your handicap according to formula below.
Max net-par on 1st hole in each round. Handicap may NOT give you a net birdie if you used the max-par rule. For example, player makes 6 and takes the max-par rule will count as a par for the hole. The handicap DOES NOT make this a birdie. If a player is getting a stroke on this hole, you must par it outright to record a net birdie.
OB and lost ball will be played as a hazard except for back-9 of second round then we will play stroke and distance
Max of gross triple bogey except for back-9 of 2nd round no limit.
Gimmies for 1st 27 holes within a putter length. Back-9 of 2nd round must finish everything to compete for the tournament
If your group falls >1 hole behind offending slow player may go on 30 second shot clock. Please prepare to hit your shot while your playing partners are hitting.
We need everyone to turn in a scorecard after 1st 18 holes to compete in the 36 hole event. This saves on time at the end of the day and makes things transparent for the competitors.
Handicap allotment will be 100% with plus:
Green Tees = 1 strokes
Blue Tees = 2 strokes
Black Tees = 4 strokes
Scratch or better will all play to a zero plus the allotment for tee choice. Scratch players that want to play for a medal for the low gross must play the same tees.
