SISTER-BROTHER  SISTER-SISTER CHAMPIONSHIPS 

 

Entry Fee: $190 per team (2 players)

Days: 1

 

Eligibility: One member of the team must be a WMGA member.  The non-member must provide a GHIN number or play from scratch. A parent may play with only one child in a tournament. A sister may play with only one sibling in a tournament. Stepchildren are eligible to participate; in-laws are eligible to participate.

Format: 18 holes of Pinehurst stroke play. Pairings made by the Committee. In Pinehurst format both partners drive; each plays a second stroke with the other’s ball; they then select the ball with which they will play alternate strokes thereafter. The player with the lower Course Handicap receives 60% of his/her Course Handicap. The player with the higher Course Handicap receives 40% of his/her Course Handicap. Add the percentage allowances together then round off. The total with .5 or higher is rounded upward. This becomes the team’s Course Handicap. Handicap revisions take place ten days prior to the event. Trophy awarded to the low gross team in each championship division. Ties for the gross trophy will be decided by an immediate hole-by-hole playoff beginning on a hole decided by the committee. Any team not present for a playoff must forfeit. Ties for the net prize will be decided by a match of cards. The winner will be determined on the basis of the best net score for the last nine holes. If still tied, the winner will be determined on the basis of the best net score for the last six holes, the 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 a tie is not broken by this procedure, a winner will be determined by blind draw.
