Golf Genius Pairer:    Sue Norton snorton925@yahoo.com

Scoring:    Sue Norton        snorton925@yahoo.com           

This is a team event with foursomes or threesomes. On the first hole the team plays from the red tees (they’re actually green!), on the second hole from the white tees, on the third hole from the blue tees. Continue alternating tees red, white and blue throughout the round.

Each player hits a drive and the team selects the best drive and marks it. The player whose shot is selected as the best then “steps aside”, and cannot hit the next shot. The other players then hit their second shots from this position. Select the best second shot and mark it. Again, the player whose shot is selected then “steps aside” and cannot hit the next shot. Continue in this way until the ball is holed out. There is only one score for the foursome. If a team is a threesome, there is no ‘step aside’ required – any player may hit the next shot. There is no minimum number of drives required for each player.  In the event that teams cannot be equalized by handicap, a team handicap may be applied as shown on page 10.  Prizes will be given to the two lowest scoring teams.

players for the first round according to handicap within flights. The final

Prizes awarded:1^st and 2^nd Gross, 1^st through 4^th Net.
