JUNIOR GIRLS’ OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

 

Entry Fee:  $35 per player/18 holes

        $25 per player/9 holes

Days: 1

 

Eligibility: Open to any girl who has not reached her 19th birthday by midnight of the day of the competition who is a resident of the New York metropolitan area.  A girl, without a USGA Handicap Index, may choose to play in the 9-Hole Event instead of the Trophy Tournament. Each player may carry her own clubs or use a pull cart, provided the host club has no objection.  If the host club does not allow pull carts, then the player is required to carry her own clubs.  In the case of extraordinary circumstances, the player may request, in writing at least two weeks before the tournament, an exception to be made to this rule. Caddies are not permitted.

 

Trophy Tournament Format: 18 holes of stroke play. Full Course Handicap. Pairings made by the Committee. Trophy awarded to the low gross winner and the low net winner. A tie for the low gross trophy will be decided by a hole-by-hole playoff beginning on a hole determined by the committee. Any player not present for the playoff must forfeit the playoff. Ties for 2nd and 3rd gross and 1st, 2nd and 3rd net prizes will be decided by a match of cards. The winner will be determined on the basis of the best score, gross or net as applicable, for the last nine holes.  If still tied, the winner will be determined on the basis of the best score, gross or net as applicable, for the last six holes, the last three holes and finally the last hole.  For net prizes, one-half, one-third, one-sixth and one-eighteenth of each player’s Course Handicap will be deducted to determine the best net score.  If a tie is not broken by this procedure, a winner will be determined by blind draw.

 

9-Hole Event Format: 9 holes of stroke play.  Pairings made by the Committee. Prizes awarded for the low gross winner and runner up only. Ties for these prizes will be decided by matching cards. The winner will be determined on the basis of the gross best score for the last six holes played, the last three holes and finally the last hole. If a tie is not broken by this procedure, a winner will be determined by blind draw.
