Individual Stroke Play

In this golf event, stroke play format will be utilized, where players tally their total number of strokes over one or more rounds. The competition will feature both net and gross stroke play variations. In net stroke play, players’ scores will be adjusted based on their handicaps to ensure fairness across skill levels. Handicaps will allow players of differing abilities to compete on an equitable basis. Prizes will be awarded to the top three performers based on net scores. Additionally, a prize will be awarded to the player with the lowest total score in gross stroke play, emphasizing raw skill and performance without handicap adjustments.

Net Skins

In Net Skins, a modified stroke play format is employed where players’ scores are adjusted based on their handicaps, aiming for the lowest net score per hole. Each hole constitutes a separate contest, with the player achieving the lowest net score winning a “skin” for that hole, with tiebreakers carrying over to subsequent holes. Prizes are awarded based on the total number of skins won, with handicaps ensuring fair competition among players of varying skill levels.

Random Draw Four Ball

In the Random Draw Four-Ball format, pairs are randomly formed, each consisting of two players playing their own balls throughout the round. The team’s score on each hole is the lower score of the two partners. Prizes are awarded to the top three net teams and the top gross team, acknowledging performance relative to handicaps and overall skill, respectively.

Individual Stableford

In Individual Stableford, players earn points by comparing their number of strokes taken, including strokes made and penalty strokes, to a fixed target score for each hole. The points awarded correspond to how the player’s score relates to the fixed target score for the hole. Here’s how points are awarded according to the chart provided:

• More than one over the fixed target score or no score returned: 0 points
• One over the fixed target score: 1 point
• Fixed target score: 2 points
• One under the fixed target score: 3 points
• Two under the fixed target score: 4 points
• Three under the fixed target score: 5 points
• Four under the fixed target score: 6 points

Prizes & Payouts
