Conditions of Competition

Tournament Committee: Jerry Arellano (Chairman), Doug Phelps, Leo Zeggert

The Rules of Golf as issued by the USGA govern play, along with Local Rules as applicable in the Club’s “Hard Card”.  See below for additional Conditions of Competition.  Violations are addressed by the Tournament Committee in cooperation with the Rules Committee.

Format:

This is a three-day, 54-hole Flighted Individual Gross and Net tournament using 100% of Home Course Handicap. The Tournament Committee uses the Tournament Pairings Program (TPP) of the GHIN software to determine Flights and daily pairings. Home Course Handicap is as of the date of tournament set up. The Tournament Committee makes every effort to create Flights with the least amount of Handicap differential possible.

The 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th Flights play from the Gold Tournament Tees. All other flights play from the White Tees. For Sunday’s round, the Tournament Committee will do pairings based on Friday’s and Saturday’s combined lowest Gross scores played from the Tournament Tees regardless of flight; these players make up the last groups in the field.

Scoring:

The combined Low Gross score playing from the Tournament Tees will determine the Club Champion. The Low Gross winner from each flight will be recognized as the Flight Club Champion.  The Flight Club Champions are not eligible for “Money on the Books”; instead, each winner receives a gift card commensurate with “Money on the Books” at the Fall Banquet.

The 1^st Flight payouts are based on Gross scores. All other flights payouts are based on Net scores.

A Sudden Death playoff will decide all ties for first place. Playoff holes are determined by the Tournament Committee based on course availability. Players are responsible for knowing the likelihood of a playoff possibility. Failure to be present for the playoff will result in relinquishing first place for second place. All other ties are co-winners and the place money is evenly split.

All scores are posted by the Committee for USGA Handicap purposes, with applicable Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) applied.

Other Information:

Prior to the first tee, at the Registration Table, a voluntary $15.00 will be collected from each individual wishing to enter a Flighted Skins Game (1^st Flight - Gross) (All other Flights - Net).  In addition, a voluntary $15.00 will be collected from each individual wishing to enter a Gross Over the Entire Field Skins game. If there is “No Skins Out” on Friday, the skins money will carry over to Saturday. If there is “No Skins Out” on Saturday, the skins money will carry over to Sunday. In the event of “No Skins Out” on Sunday, the competition will revert to a Best Skins format on Sunday’s results only.
