INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE STABLEFORD TOURNAMENT

 

This is an individual effort. Players play as they are signed-up. Each player’s quota was arrived at by deducting his handicap from 54. (No handicap in excess of 36 was used to determine a player’s quota).

This tournament is based on the best performance of each player relative to his quota.

Players will be divided into (4) four flights of similar handicaps. There will be three winners in each flight. First place is $25, Second is $20 and Third is $15.

Your Tee Time, Flight assignment, Handicap and Quota are shown on the scorecard. Your actual score is to be recorded on one line of a scorecard, and the earned points recorded on the line just below. The earned points are determined as follows:

Points Score

1 Double Bogey

2 Bogey

3 Par

4 Birdie

5 Eagle

The final score will be the number of points scored for the entire round deducted from the player’s individual quota. Ties will be decided by a play-off on the scorecards starting with hole #10, and then in forward order one hole at the time until a winner is determined.

There may be members playing who have not yet played at least five rounds at the designated courses on scheduled playing days to receive a handicap. These players are not eligible to participate in the tournament, but may play. Those players need to make sure a separate scorecard is turned in to the regular Senior depository to get credit for the round played.

Players have been divided into four flights by handicap. Some handicap numbers may have been used in two flights, consider that the “Luck of the Draw”. This is an individual effort in each flight, not a team event. The player with the lowest handicap in each flight is playing from scratch. The other players in that flight will have their handicaps reduced by the amount of the lowest player’s handicap to arrive at their net-handicaps. This difference will determine the number of strokes each player will receive in order to reduce his gross score to his net score. All strokes are to be counted on each hole, there will be no maximum.

Each person will play at the time he has registered on the sign-up sheet, and with

those players who are registered with him. There will be no special sign-up for this tournament.. Score cards will be prepared for each foursome indicating each player’s

flight and net-handicap. (For example, C-4, would refer to the C flight and a net handicap of 4 strokes). Red dots will be entered on the card to indicate the holes where

strokes will be given for each player. The net score for each hole will be the actual number of strokes taken, less one stroke if a red dot is shown. Net scores are to be posted for each hole, and totaled for or each side, and the entire round

The player, within each flight, making the lowest Net score on each hole will be awarded a SKIN. In the event there are two or more matching lowest net scores for a hole, then there will be a carry over to the next hole. One Tie-All Tie. That player who makes the lowest net score on any hole will win a skin for that hole, and will also win a skin for each preceding carry over hole. The Tournament Directors will determine the skin winners for each flight after all of the net scores have been posted. There will be no play offs in the case some of the skins are not won.

Senior Association rules will apply. Note that Mulligans are not allowed, but putts “within the leather” on a standard putter are considered as “Gimmies”.  All strokes taken are to be entered on the score card.
