Eligibility: An entry is submitted for a team of two. One player must be an “A” player with a Handicap Index maximum of 14.0 (Class A) and one player must be a “B” player with a Handicap Index minimum of 14.1 (Class B). 

 

When a competitor’s handicap changes from “A” to “B” or “B” to “A” one week prior to the day of play, she may play but with the following conditions:

 

If an “A” player becomes a “B” player, her Index will be considered 14.0 for net purposes.  For gross purposes, there will be no change.

 

If a “B” player becomes an “A” player, there will be no change for net purposes.  However, for gross purposes, the team is ineligible.

 

or

 

The player whose handicap changed may be replaced by an eligible player.

 

Format: 18-holes of better ball of the A/B team stroke play. Each player receives 85% of her Course Handicap, taking the strokes as they fall on the card. Only the player’s score that counts as the gross or net score for the team for each hole needs to be recorded on the official score card.  Certificates are awarded to the members of the low gross and net teams. Ties will be decided by a match of cards. The winner of each will be determined on the basis of the best team score, gross or net as applicable, for the last nine holes of the day.  If still tied, the winner will be determined on the basis of the best team score, gross or net as applicable, for the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 18th hole.  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 this procedure does not break the tie, the winner will be determined by blind draw.
