10 Shot Differential:

 This event maintains a 10 shot differential between partners. If teammates are more than 10 shots apart in their playing handicaps, the higher handicap player's playing handicap will be reduced to bring them to within 10 shots of their teammate's playing handicap. 

Format: 

This is a flighted NET team event contested over 36 holes. Based on the number of entries, we anticipate fielding three flights. 

• Saturday Format:
• Holes 1-9 will play as a Best Ball Shamble. Both players will hit a tee shot on each hole. The team will select the best tee shot and each player will then play their own ball for the rest of the hole. The team's score will be recorded using the best net score between the players. Handicaps are set at 65% of each players playing handicap for the Shamble format. 
• Holes 10-18 will play as a modified alternate shot (also known as Greensomes). Both players will hit a tee shot on each hole. The team will select the best tee shot, and then alternate hitting shots until the ball is holed. Handicaps are set at 60% of the low handicap + 40% of the high handicap for the Modified Alternate Shot format.
• Sunday Format: 
• 2 Person Best Ball. Both players play their own ball on each hole. The best net score between the players on each hole will be recorded as the team score. Handicaps will be set 85% of each individual's playing handicap per USGA recommended handicap allowance.
