Tournament Format, Rules, and Schedule

Match Format

This tournament is standard fourball match play–teams of two play against eachother in match play. Both team members play their own ball, with the lower (net) score of the partners being the team’s score for that hole. If teams tie on a hole the hole is halved, there are no carry-overs

Location

All matches will be played at TPC Harding Park

Tees

All matches will be played from the white tees

Handicaps

All matches will be played net. We will follow the USGA method for assigning handicaps for net fourball play–the lowest course handicap in the foursome will play off scratch, with each of the remaining players playing to the difference between their course handicap and the lowest. For example, if the four players have course handicaps of 4, 7, 7, and 8, the 4 handicap will get 0 strokes, the two 7’s will get strokes on handicap holes 1 - 3, and the 8 handicap will get strokes on handicap holes 1 - 4.

The handicaps in play for each match will be the course handicaps based on full GHIN indexes as of the date of the match. For transparency, indices for all players will be updated bi-weekly with the GHIN updates on this site in the roster section here

Rules

USGA rules of golf and the HPGC local tournament rules will govern all play

Schedule

Pool play will take place from June through the end of September, with playoffs to begin in October. All matches, including the playoffs, will be self-scheduled, and players are reponsible for their own greens fees. Early weekend times are always difficult at TPC Harding Park, so I recommend booking early as cancellation is free.

Pool Play

Teams have been grouped into five pools of four. The first part of the tournament is round robin pool play–each team will play each otehr team in their pool once.

During pool play, matches will continue for all 18 holes, regardless of who wins. Each hole won will be worth one point for the winning team, while halved holes will be worth a half point for both teams. The team with the most holes won wins regardless, but total holes won will be important for breaking ties in the likely event that teams have the same record

In the event that a team needs to concede / forfeit a match, the team conceded to will count the win. To protect the rest of the field, they will earn 9.5 “total holes won”, and the concedign team will earn 0.

Order of finish

Final standings within the pool will be based on:

  1. Win/Loss record: Wins are worth 3 points, ties are worth 1
  2. If tied on #1, total holes won
  3. If tied on #2, head-to-head record

Playoffs

Eight teams will make the playoffs, the five pool winners plus three wildcard teams based on (1) pool play match record or (2) total holes won during pool play.

Playoffs will be single elimination play. In the event of a match being all square after 18 holes, extra holes will be played on flemming, according th the following, per TPC Harding Park:

  • Playoff sudden death will only be permitted on Fleming, regardless of the activity on Harding
  • Golfers will need to check into the golf shop after the 18th hole and advise of the playoff sudden death
  • Players will have to wait in theuir turn on Fleming 1
  • Players wo;; have to exit the course once the match is determined

Hole handicaps on Fleming are based on 9 hole matches, not 18. So, for extra hole purposes, the handicap index will be \(2 * n - 1\), where \(n\) is the index listed on the Fleming score card. Effectively, this follows the convention of all odd-indexed holes being on the front 9.
