Know when and how to mark your ball on the green while not stepping in other’s putting lines. Know the order of play based on distance to the hole. If you are out of a hole, it is okay to pick up and record a maximum score based on your handicap. Be aware of your surroundings relating to the use of cell phones and music from portable speakers.

Joe Dunning 2024 Champion

Round of 32: June 1st – June 30th Sweet Sixteen: July 1st – July 31st Elite Eight: August 1st – August 31st Final Four: September 1st – September 30th Championship: October 1st - October 15th

SCHEDULING MATCHES & DEADLINES Players are responsible for scheduling their own matches. Once a date and time have been agreed upon, please notify the Starter and we will print you an official match scorecard. Upon completion of the match please turn the scorecard, with match results and signatures from both players to the Starter. Any matches tied after 18 holes will go into extra holes starting on hole #1 and playing until a hole is won. If a match is not played by the end of the deadline day, the Golf Shop will flip a coin to determine the winner, who will then advance to the next round. In those instances when scheduling becomes problematic, one or both players may request the Golf Shop to intervene. In this circumstance, if the Golf Shop is unable to schedule the match within the deadline, the Golf Shop will then have the discretion to determine the winner by either coin flip or, in expected rare circumstances, default by one of the players. Open to the first 32 players (men and women) to sign up. If we don’t reach 32, the bracket will be made of 16 and the match start dates and deadlines will move up. Defending Champion will be seed 1, the remaining seedings will be determined by player’s Handicap Index.

TEAMS: Two person teams. Teams can be men, men & women or women. FORMAT: Alternate Shot. Players determine who will tee off from the odd/even holes. HANDICAPS: Handicaps will be given at 50% of the team total, off the low team in the Shoot-Out. Strokes will be given where they fall on the card. Strokes will be adjusted as the low team is eliminated. ENTRY FEE: $20 cash per player. ELIMINATION: Low net scores will advance to the next hole. The highest net scores will be eliminated each hole until two teams remain going to the 9th and final hole. TIES: Ties will be broken by a chip-off. Both team members chip. All players must turn around. If a tie occurs on the 9th hole, the hole will be played again. The player who did not tee-off on the 9th will hit the tee shot when the hole is played again.
