The FAQs

When should I arrive?

All players are expected to join the lead group on the first tee for a welcome address and team photos. Feel free to arrive earlier to practice. Please see the schedule for session times.

How are handicaps calculated?

* Denoted players competing from the South Course, blue tees. All other handicaps are calculated from the black tees.

Individual handicaps are calculated based on your current GHIN profile (or from your current scoring average) and are then adjusted according to the GHIN's official course rating for the respective course and tees. For this tournament, handicap allowance is set to 90% which is also output from the GHIN handicap calculator. This is your "playing handicap" for the session.

Session 1 - Four-ball Handicaps:
Each player's handicap is set to their "playing handicap" for the South Course, blue/black tees. Each player's net score counts towards the result for that hole. As a team of two, you will play the best net score.

Session 2 - Foursomes Handicaps:
Each player's handicap is set to half of their "playing handicap" for the North Course, black tees. Your team handicap is calculated by averaging the two players' individual handicaps.

Session 3 - Singles Handicaps:
Each player's handicap is set to half of their "playing handicap" for the North Course, black tees.

Note: For players with an odd handicap, hole index #1 is located on the front nine of the North Course. Therefore your "playing handicap" is adjusted accordingly for sessions 2 and 3.

How are scores input and tracked?

We will utilize the Grint to track session scores and provide a live leaderboard to all players. All players are requested to register for a free account in advance.

For each session, the group will designate one player to input scores to the Grint app.

Paper scorecards will be provided as a backup.

Can I practice in advance?

Yes. Range balls are included. Please arrive with enough time to complete your practice and attend the first tee for the opening group.

How are disputes resolved?

Each group is expected to resolve disputes as they arise. If in doubt, please consult the Official Rules of Golf. If disputes cannot be resolved by the group, you are doing something wrong 😜

are there prizes?

Absolutely. In addition to bragging rights for the next twelve months, a number of spot prizes are up for grabs (long drive, closest to pin, etc.).

Furthermore, the losing team will buy a round of drinks for the winning team.

Is lunch or dinner included?

No. Your payment of $300 includes 36 holes of golf, carts and prizes. Any remaining funds will be contributed to post-competition drinks (not including the loser buying a round).

You may bring your own lunch or eat at Jim's on the Course between sessions.

Staying for dinner at Jim's is not mandatory, but is highly recommended. We hope you join for the prize giving, celebration and commiseration. Pints will continue into the evening.

Walking or riding?

Carts are included in your fees and are recommended to ensure we complete 36 holes.

Can I park my car overnight?
