RULES

TWO MAN BETTER BALL

RULES

TEAMS: Two-man teams will be comprised of the entrants as submitted to the Tournament Committee. There is no restriction on handicap difference among partners. Tee times are assigned first come, first served.

CLICK HERE to sign up for the tournament.

HANDICAP: Each player will play to 100% of his handicap based on the 15 Dec Index. The Team HCP shall be the sum of the partners' handicaps.

FLIGHTS: The field will be split into three flights. The Tournament Committee has directed that, as best as possible, the flights be balanced (equal number of players in each flight). Team flighting is a two step process; first players are flighted individually by Index, then teams are flighted based on the individual flight. The computer software computes the assignments.

FORMAT:

• Each player will play his own ball throughout the entire round.
• Select and circle the best NET score of the two players for each hole. Handicap strokes apply hole-by-hole.
• The team with the lowest Final Team NET Score wins.
• Tournament Chairman will select a Blind Draw for those teams without two players.

Substitutes: If a team is missing a player, the Tournament Committee, at the end of the round, will make a blind draw selection of one player from scorecards of the entire field.

FORWARD TEES: Players with an Index of 20 or higher and are 70 yrs or older, may elect to play from the Gold tees. Gold tee players shall be assigned your Gold tee HCP minus a three (3) stroke adjustment. Your HCP for play and for Tm HCP shall be the HCP calculation after all of the adjustments have been applied.

Scoring:

• Each two man TEAM shall swap scorecards with the other twosome in their assigned group.
• Record GROSS score, hole by hole, for each team member.
• Circle the lower NET score for each hole.
• Record the "Team NET Score" for each hole at the bottom of the scorecard.
• Total the "Team NET Score" for the round. This is the Final Team NET Score.
• Team with the lowest Final Team NET Score wins.
• Score cards shall be signed/attested by each player on the team.
• Ties will be broken by card off using the #1 HCP hole (#6), NET score. If a tie still exits we will the use the #2 HCP hole (#14), NET score. If the tie still exits we go to the # 3 HCP hole (#3), NET score. This progression will continue until the tie is broken.

Special

• Practice Putt(s) / Shot(s) are Prohibited during the round.
• No practice putting.
• "Closest to the Pin" will be awarded on selected par three holes. The payout shall be determined by the "buy-in."
• Tournament Chairman will select Blind Draws for those teams without a complete team.
• If you "pick-up" (for speed-of-play) and don't complete the hole, for posting purposes, record a net par for that hole.
• Post your own score as a regular round.
• USGA rules supplemented by local rules apply.
