4 Tournament Format Practice Round Wednesday, July 27. Tee times begin at 7:30am Practice rounds may be scheduled two weeks in advance. Please contact the Golf Shop to reserve your starting time. There will be an optional cash pool - skins game buy-in. Matches Thursday - Saturday, July The entire field has been divided into flights of six two-man teams. A maximum allowable handicap index differential between the member and guest is 7. For example: If the member s handicap index is 6.5 and the guest s handicap index is 20.1, the guest will be adjusted to Also, all previous year s horserace participants may not return with a higher handicap index. Flight assignments were based upon combined adjusted total team course handicap. Once flights are made, there will be no shots given during matches with the exception of the 1 st flight in which handicaps at 80% will be given by wheeling off the low man. U.S.G.A. match play and local rules will apply throughout the tournament. Each team plays five 9-hole matches against each opponent within their respective flight. The format for each match is one best ball of the two-man teams. Each match represents nine (9) possible points. One point for winning the hole One-half point for halving the hole The winning team will receive a maximum of 6.5 points per match. The losing team will receive their earned point total. For example: In an 8 to 1 match, winners will receive 6.5 points and the losers receive 1 point. The first, second and third place finishers in each flight will advance to the Saturday afternoon Championship Horse Race. In the event of a tie within the flight, the score of the tying team s match will determine the winner. If the tying teams halved their match, then the winner will be determined by a sudden death playoff. Note: This rule applies to Payouts and Wagering and in the event the head to head matches do not break the tie(s), the money will be split. All sudden death playoffs will be a best ball format starting on the first hole. If on the playoff hole the teams tie on the low-ball, then the team s second ball will become the tiebreaker. If both balls tie, then the playoff will continue until a winner is determined. Nine-Hole Matches: Should matches be cancelled before completion then all points for the unplayed holes will be halved and added to the team s point totals. If a team fails to show up for a scheduled match, the opponent will receive 5 points for the match. If two or more matches are cancelled, then the following rules shall determine cash payoffs and entry into the Championship Horse Race. In the event of a tie for first place, the score of the tying team s match will determine the flight winner. If the tying teams halved their match or did not play one another, then two flight winners will be declared. All players shall receive the sum of the first and second place cash pool money, which will be evenly split between the teams and both teams will enter the Championship Horse Race. The same basic rules apply for second and third place ties.

5 WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FLIGHTED HORSERACE 5:00 P.M. Each flight begins on the corresponding hole number, with the exception of flights 2 and 13. Hole Flight Each flight will play three successive holes. Two man best ball eliminating two teams on the first hole, two teams on the second with the final two teams playing the third hole for a single winner. If all six teams do not participate, the flight will by lot decide the elimination format to be used over the three holes. Ties on each hole will be broken with a chip off. All teams remaining for the tie breaker will have both players chip off using the closest ball as their score. Chip off spot and order will be determined by the group. Winning team wins $100 in Golf Shop credit.

Galleries are encouraged and beverage carts will be following the exciting golf action. The first, second and third place finishers of each flight will be divided into three groups.

All ties on any holes will be settled with a chip-off in which winning teams advance to the next hole. Both players will participate in the chip-off, with the winners being determined by closest to the pin. Format: Each team member will hit a drive on each of the first three holes as long as they remain in the competition. After the teams select a drive, they will alternate shots until the ball is holed. The team order of play on the first hole will be determined by the luck of the draw. The team order of play after the first hole will be in the reverse order of the previous hole. The final two teams from each of the three groups will be united on the sixteenth hole.

The two (2) high scores on the sixteenth hole will be eliminated and the four remaining teams will move on to the seventeenth hole. One team will be eliminated on the seventeenth hole. The final three teams will play the eighteenth hole for the Championship. In the event of a tie, the Champions will be determined by a sudden death playoff on the eighteenth hole.
