FORMAT:
All participants will compete in a 36-hole, net stroke play championship (18 holes each day). During the championship, all players will play to their lowest Handicap Index from August 1 to the October 15 revision and will receive 100% of their Course Handicap (unless otherwise noted by the SCGA). All ties will be broken using the USGA method of matching scorecards (Holes 10 – 18, etc., from the second round).
REGISTRATION:
All participants must check-in at the SCGA registration table located near the range upon arrival on Monday morning.
STARTING TIMES AND PAIRINGS:
Starting times and pairings will be e-mailed to players and posted online at scga.org one week in advance of the tournament. Tee times will begin at 10:16 a.m. both days.
Players are encouraged to arrive at their assigned tee well in advance of their starting time, as the SCGA starter will have information to discuss and distribute to each player in the group. Furthermore, players arriving late will be penalized under Rule 5.3a of the Rules of Golf. For example, the 9:00 a.m. starting time is defined as 9:00:00, and players arriving after that time are considered late. Lead groups should plan to be at their assigned tee 10 minutes in advance of their starting time. Subsequent groups are encouraged to arrive in time to watch the group in front of them tee off.
