  • Flights will be formed by the Team’s combined USGA GHIN Indexes as of April 27, 2025. 
  • Brackets will be posted by May 1, 2025
  • All Matches can be played at either Saddle Rock or Murphy Creek - mutually agreed on by both teams.
  • Matches CANNOT be played during another regular Men's Club tournament.
  • The Team that wins four matches in each flight will be declared the winner of their flight.

                                                                                                                              

Handicaps:  

  • Handicap will be calculated using a player's GHIN index converted to the course handicap the day of the scheduled match. Players will receive 90% of their course handicap. (See Handicap Calculation Charts pages for each course or use the GHIN app.)

  • All matches will be contested under match play rules.

  • A team of 2 players from each flight will play the opponent’s team of 2 players from the same flight in a net four-ball match (better-ball of partners).

  • Convert the players GHIN to 90% of their course handicap (see Handicap Calculation Charts pages). In the four-ball match, the player with the lowest course handicap will play at scratch and each of the other three players in the group will receive the difference in strokes. The reduced strokes will fall on the lowest handicap holes indicated on the scorecard. e.g., 90% of Player A's course handicap is 5, 90% of Player B's course handicap is 7, 90% of Player C's course handicap is 8 and 90% of Player D's course handicap is 14.  Player A will play scratch, player B will receive 2 strokes, player C will receive 3 strokes and player D will receive 9 strokes.

Tournament Directions:

Playoff Procedure: (in the event of a tie)

 

  • Since the courses have generally been booked for the entire day, it will be difficult to go back on the course to have a playoff. If you do continue to play, handicap stokes are on the same holes as the first 18 holes.
  • Before teeing off, both Teams MUST agree to a playoff procedure – putt off, chip off, score on hardest handicap hole, coin flip, playing extra holes if the course can get you out within an hour of completing 18, etc.
  • If teams can't agree on a playoff procedure on the first tee, the playoff procedure will be using the results of holes starting with 18 and going backward until someone wins a hole.
  • All Matches MUST be completed by the indicated deadlines – NO EXCEPTIONS
  • DO NOT wait until the last minute to schedule your match. As soon as you know who your next opponent is contact them, DO NOT wait for them to contact you.

 

Scoring:

  • Once the match has been completed email Mike Foxhoven at tournament_director@sr-mc.com with the results.
