Golf Format

There will be 3 flights based on your Handicap*.

Tournament Winner: Since we are using Handicaps, scoring is Net score, so anyone from any flight can win the Trophy.

You must have an established GHIN Handicap to enter. Contact Wendy Lockhart if you need help with this. 

Players play two rounds of golf and the best score PER HOLE out of the 2 rounds is used.

If you can only play one week, you can still enter, but you only have 1 shot at a good score.

For Tournament you play in groups with players in your flight, so with players closest in ability to you, which can be fun.

RULES OF PLAY

●      NO MULLIGANS

●      EVERY STROKE COUNTS- including whiffs

●      NO GIMME PUTTS - You must putt out (finish the hole).

●      THERE ARE NO Xs in Tournament – Play consecutive shots towards the hole, if you reach 10 pick up your ball and record the score as 10.

●      DO NOT GIVE ADVICE OR ASK FOR IT - This is particularly important on the greens.  Do not ask or tell how fast the putt is or how it breaks. You may tell another player where the pin is, the distance to the hole, etc., as these are deemed common knowledge. If a player asks you how they should proceed (anywhere on the course) you may give them their options, but not tell them how they should play.

COMPETITIONS DURING THE TOURNAMENT

Closest to the Pin – Hole 7

If your ball lands on the green (not the fringe), check the card posted off the green and see if anyone is already closer than you. If you think your ball is closer, measure distance from the hole to your ball. Add your name and the distance to the card. Leave the card off the green do not stick it where your ball was.

Longest Drive – Hole 5

Tee off on Hole 5. The ball must be ON THE FAIRWAY to count. It must be your first shot from the Tee and cannot be a provisional ball. There will be a card posted on a small metal post. Place it in the fairway center, parallel to where your ball lands. Add your name to the card if your ball is further than the previous position.

Most Accurate Drive – Hole 3

On Hole 3 there will be a line marked up the middle of the fairway. With your T shot, aim to land closest to the line. It does not matter how far down the line you are. If you are closer than where the post was when you arrived, then move it to where the middle of your ball is, after you hit. Suggest using a club handle to measure if it is similar distance to previous spot. Take a Photo for any disputes, especially if you are touching the line.
