18 Hole Policies and Procedure Manuals

Page 10

* HANDICAP: Strokes are determined off the lowest handicap of the group. The most up to date handicaps will be used for each match. 100% of the player’s USGA current handicap will be used for each round. Strokes will be given by applying the differential off the lowest handicap in the foursome. Players may choose their partner but must adhere to a maximum of a ten (10) stroke handicap index differential. * FORMAT: Season Long, Two Person Match Play. Each two-person team will play a match against the other three teams in their flight. Each match is 18 holes, net better ball, where players record either a “1” for winning the hole, “0“for losing the hole, or “1/2” for tying the hole. All 18 holes must be played. *When all three matches have been played in each flight, the team with the most cumulative points earned over the three matches is deemed the winner of the flight. *Flights will result in 1 semi-final flight (ties to be broken by an 18-hole playoff) and 5 flights will result in 2 semi-final flights with all ties advancing to the semi-finals. *When more than 4 flights exist, wildcard positions will be filled by the next highest points totals from all flights until all 8 seeds are filled. *The flight winners will then be bracketed and will play each other to determine the overall President’s Cup Tournament winner for the year. * The overall winners will receive a “take home” trophy. * TIME FRAMES: All Matches must be played within the following order and time frame (NO EXCEPTIONS): Each team is responsible for coordinating their match within the time frame given for each round. Any matches that are incomplete at the start of the next round will receive 0 points. * Play schedule within each flight is as follows: Round 1: Team A vs. Team D & Team B vs. Team C Round 2: Team A vs. Team C & Team B vs. Team D Round 3: Team A vs. Team B & Team C vs. Team D Round 4: Flight Winners Play-Off for Overall Champ FOOTNOTES: 1) When there is both a gross and net division and an equal number of players, prizes should be awarded equally between gross and net – to ¼ of the field. However, if ¼ of the field results in an odd number, the odd place should be awarded to the net division. 2) Definition of Guest: A guest is a non-member of the Atlanta Athletic Club as defined by the AACWGA Board of Directors (passed 2004). 3) All guests for tournaments must have an official Handicap Index verifiable through GHIN or a Golf Professional. Otherwise, they play to a “0” handicap or lower if applicable. Tournament guests are limited to amateur status players.
