Two Man Match Play.  Pick your partner OR sign up as a single be paired up later.

Date:

May 21-22, 2025

Time:

9:00 Shotgun

Rules:

Play two 9 hole match play rounds on day 1. Play one 9 hole match play round on Day 2, plus a Shoot Out for the overall Championship. The Shoot Out will consist of all flight winners and ties teeing off Seminole #1 in an alternate shot format. Those teams that make net bogey or better advance to Seminole #9 and play alternate shot format from the 150 marker (Par 3). Three lowest net scores advance to the final hole. If there are more than 3 then a chip off will determine the finalists. Those three replay #9 Seminole from the Gold or Silver tees as appropriate in Four-Ball Stroke play. Winners will be determined by the lowest net ball. In case of a tie, the net scores of the partners' balls will be used. If still a tie, the hole will be replayed one time. If a winner is still not determined then, a chip off will determine the winner and runner-up.


DROP ZONES (DZ): CHOCTAW #2 - For a ball that is in the penalty area, the player may proceed under Rule 17 or, as an additional option, drop a ball under penalty of one stroke in the DZ. SEMINOLE # 2 - For a ball that is in the LEFT penalty area, the player may proceed under Rule 17 or, as an additional option, drop a ball under penalty of one stroke in the DZ.
USGA rules apply in addition to Local Rules

Handicap:

We have implemented a 10 stroke index maximum differential rule between playing partners this year.  You can partner up with someone who has an index 10+ different from yours, but you will be limited to 10 strokes when you play in the tournament.

 Flighted by team handicap (8 Flights)

Tees:

Green except for those members on the approved Blue Tee list.

Scoring:

When a team wins a hole, that team is awarded one (1) point. If a hole is tied, each team is awarded one-half (1/2) point. The team winning the match will receive one (1) additional point so that the total points for each match is ten (10) points. If after nine holes and the match is tied, each team will be awarded one-half (1/2) point making the final score 5 to 5. All nine holes must be played in each match and total points for the match must equal ten (10).
PLEASE NOTE:  Please pick up once you are out of the hole in order to improve pace of play. Utilize Equitable Stroke Control to record your score on that hole. You must record a score for each player on every hole. Do not enter an X.
Scores will be posted to GHIN by Golf Genius.
