FOX HOLLOW MEN'S CLUB COMBINATION TOURNAMENT
Chairmen:
Kevin Horvath, Joe Faust

 

The combination tournament is open to all Men's Club members from all leagues.  

It is a one day, 27 hole, two man team event (pick your own partner).  The maximum course handicap difference between the two team members may not differ by more than 10 strokes.  Any team with a higher handicap difference will be adjusted.  There is an additional entry fee for this event which should be paid in the golf shop.

The event is flighted and limited to 30 teams.

FORMAT
Each 9 hole course is played using a different format as follows:

Front Nine - Scramble: Both players hit a tee shot, pick the best one and both players hit the next shot from that point.  Repeat until the ball is in the hole.  Both balls may be placed within one club length of the original spot through the green and within 6 inches when on the green, no nearer the hole and it cannot be moved out of a bunker or a hazard.  Both shots must be played from the same cut of grass where the original ball lay.  Record the team scratch score for each hole. There are no restrictions on the number of shots used by each player.

Gold Nine - Alternate Shot (traditional): Prior to the start of this nine, each team must chose who will hit the tee shot on the even holes and who will hit the tee shot on the odd holes (yes, one player will hit an extra tee shot - include that in your strategy); play alternately after the tee shot.  The ball used must also be used to hole out.  No changing balls on the green.  Always play the ball as it lies - no "preferred lies", no "winter rules".

Back Nine - Best Ball 2 Man net best ball.  Handicap allowance using 90% of course handicap (USGA handicap System Sec 9.4).  Both players play the ball as it lies.

PACE OF PLAY   - Since we are playing 27 holes it is imperative that you keep pace with the group ahead of you. 
The day will be long enough; we do not need slow play.  Consider this your first warning.   Any group more than one hole behind
 will be penalized.

PAYOFF
Payoff’s for each flight on each nine hole score as well as the 27 hole score.  Approximately 6- 9 teams per flight, depending
on total participation, (based on team handicap index).

Skin’s & Nearies for each flight. An additional fee for the skins and nearies.  Also, long drive hole for each flight.

Deciding Ties
Nine hole events – matching score cards on the basis of the best scores for the last three holes.
