Jump to a question:
Handicaps
75% Handicaps will be used for each player (always round down). The lowest handicapped player in the group will play as a Zero.
The maximum permissible handicap index is 36.
Match Location
Teams are encouraged to mutually decide where to play their matches. If the two teams cannot decide where to play, the top team picks 3 courses and the bottom team picks one of the 3 courses to play.
Tee Box
The two teams are encouraged to agree on what tee box to play. If they can’t come to an agreement the closest tee box to 6,200 yards must be played.
Green Fees
The players are responsible for the cost of their green fees.
Substitute Player
One substitute player is allowed per team. If the original player cannot return after one match, the substitute becomes the permanent player for the matches moving forward. The substitute player must be someone who is not currently (alive) in the event. Original Player can return after an extended period of time off, if the reason is reasonable (e.g. Covid).
Tie Breaks
If a match is tied after 18 holes, a sudden-death playoff will occur if the golf course is available, (shots will fall on the applicable holes) If the golf course is not available for a sudden-death playoff, the two teams can either replay the match, play a one-hole playoff at a later date, or mutually agree on a skill contest to award a winner (Chip-off).
Missed Deadlines
If the two teams cannot play their match within the time period, the result will be decided by the committee based on who made the most effort to schedule the match. A coin toss will be used if both teams equally attempted to schedule the match.
