The Rules

​

COMPETITION FORMATS

 

#1) INDIVIDUAL 36 HOLE NET FULL HANDICAP: Players must play & finish at least 2 complete 18 hole rounds (36 holes total) to qualify for the individual overall purse. Your Best 2 rounds to par with full course handicap will be used. Grizzly Ranch must be used as one of the 2 scores. There will be payouts for TOP 5 players.

​

#1B) 2 PERSON TEAM BEST BALL FULL HANDICAP during Saturdays round at Plumas Pines. You will be playing your own ball for this full round. 1 net best score each hole of the two player team will be added up for your team score.  Elect a score keeper amongst the 4 prior to teeing off.  Sign and attest and turn your completed card into scoring committee before the Horserace.

​

#2) 4B’s 7 HOLE HORSE RACE:  Saturday PM round at Plumas Pines

​

PLUMAS Pines Holes #1-7 

All Teams will be divided into 2 flights based on combined total handicap/index of the team. Both flights will play to a scratch handicap once flighted. Format is pure alternate shot with teams deciding who plays first on hole #1, alternating each shot until ball is holed. Although flighted, the entire group will play together playing ready golf up to the green. Once all groups are on the green, teams closest to the hole putt out alternating putts until holed. The team with the highest score is eliminated each hole. All ties for high score in each flight will chip off at a designated predetermined spot by the Tournament committee with the continuance of alternate shot in mind. If player A putts out, player B will hit the chip.  The chip off is blind to all participating teams with closest to the hole moving on to the next hole. Furthest away in the chip off drops out of the horse race and becomes gallery the rest of the way.  Teams advancing to the next hole tee off with the player whom did not hit the final shot/putt the previous hole regardless of chip off (ie. player involved in chip off hits the tee shot if they advance).

The team buy in is $20 per team with winner takes all in each flight. 

 

7-Hole event is based on the theory we will have 8 teams in each flight dropping out 1 group per hole played. In the event we have more than 8 teams in either flight, after hole number 1 is played, we only carry 7 teams to hole 2, meaning we might dump 2 or 3 teams out of each flight after hole 1. This means teams with the 2nd highest score might find themselves in a chip off in order to continue. 

​

#3) ON COURSE COMPETITIONS EACH ROUND 

   

#3A) CLOSEST TO THE PIN “on the green” ON ALL PAR 3's:   Whitehawk - 3, 7, 11, 16  |   Plumas Pines - 3, 7, 11, 15  |  Grizzly - 2, 6, 14, 16 

 

#3B) LONG DRIVE “in fairway” HOLES:   Whitehawk- hole #15  |  Plumas Pines - hole #13   |  Grizzly - hole #8

 

3A&3B provide 5 separate payouts per course, paying first place only in all instances. Closest must be on the green and Longest must be in the fairway.
