Five 9-hole matches against each team in your respective flight Flights are determined based on combined handicap index In case of identical team totals, the team with the lower index player will be in lower flight Matches are played off the low handicap player in the match You will receive 1 point for winning a hole, 0.5 points for tying a hole and 0 points for a lost hole, each match therefore is worth 9 points total. NO BONUS POINT for winning the match.

Each flight winner along with any undefeated teams will compete in the shootout following golf on Saturday Members handicaps will be based off their 6/01/24 revision and guest handicaps will be their lowest index between 6/01/23-6/01/24 All play will be from the silver tees using the old rotation for matches (holes 2-10 & 1, 11-18) Cash Pool - $350/player mandatory to be paid prior to Round 1 on Friday In the event of a tie for flight winner, the tie will be broken by the head-to-head matchup, if that was tied then a 4 person chip off will take place with the closest to the hole winning. Both teams make the Shootout; chip-off for 1st place money purposes.

For Pari-mutuel wagering, there will be a betting option for Day 1 (Friday), Day 2 (Saturday), and the Overall (Shootout). Will pay out WIN, PLACE, SHOW for each betting option.

ALL USGA RULES WILL GOVERN PLAY

Shootout Format Saturday following completion of play, the winner from each flight along with any undefeated teams and the death flight will play a five-hole shootout.

The shootout will consist of 5 holes 14-18. Format of play will be true alternate shot and we will eliminate a certain number of teams after each hole.

Chip-offs will determine who moves on in the event of any ties. The final two surviving teams will play hole #18 for the Green & Gold Championship. We will eliminate 6 teams on hole 14, 3 teams on hole 15, 1 team on hole 16, and 1 team on hole 17 to get to our final 2 teams playing #18. This is if we have 13 teams in the shootout, this will be adjusted if more teams are added.

Each team will receive 40% of their combined team handicap, the low handicap team in the shootout will then become a 0 and everyone will play off them. Max of 12 stroke differential between partners. Handicaps will be adjusted after each hole if necessary.

Rules of Play ALL USGA RULES APPLY EXCEPT WHERE AMENDED BY LOCAL RULES. • Question as to DOUBT OF PROCEDURE - In Match Play, the players choose how to proceed (DO NOT play two balls in match play). If the opponent disagrees, the opponent must make a verbal claim before teeing off on the next hole, or in the case of the last hole, before he leaves the putting green. The rules committee will decide on the matter as soon as possible.

• ADVICE RULE – A player shall not give advice to anyone in the competition except his partner. A player may ask advice from only his partner or either of their caddies.

•

FOURTEEN CLUB RULE is in effect

• LOCAL RULE – Distance - only measuring devices are allowed as part of a player’s equipment.

• LOCAL RULE – Embedded ball rule is in effect through the green. A player may lift, clean and drop the ball as near as possible to the spot that it was embedded, not nearer the hole. A player may do this anywhere on the course, except a bunker or other hazard.

• LOCAL RULE – The one-ball rule is not in effect. However, changing balls during the play of a hole is not permitted except when the rules allow it (i.e. – switching to a ball for putting disqualifies a player for that hole).

•

LOCAL RULE – The flower beds behind the 3rd and the 8th greens are deemed ground under repair.

• LOCAL RULE – Designated drop areas are available if the ball enters the penalty area beyond the drop area on holes #7, #15 and #18.

The drop area on hole #18 is the white teeing ground.

• LOCAL RULE – Lost Ball or Ball Out of Bounds- A player may choose to drop a ball at the nearest point the ball crossed the boundary or is deemed lost. A player may also choose to drop the ball at the nearest fairway edge from where the ball was lost or crossed the boundary.

• For applicable areas on the course (left side of #6, right side of #7, left side of #18, right side of #1, etc.), a player may drop on the opposite side of the cart path if: 1. The player’s ball is in a penalty area and elects to take the stroke penalty and drop but the cart path is within 2 club lengthsof the hazard, or 2. The player’s ball is on the cart path, and a hazard is within 1 club length of the nearest point of relief from the cart path.

Special Events Coyote Number Both Friday and Saturday there will be a random point total chosen. All teams that reach that point total for the day will split the entries collected. $100 cash entry per team covers you for both days. Coyote number will be published at end of day on the scoreboard.

Golf Shop Raffle (Friday) There will be a golf shop raffle available on Friday during Rounds 2 & 3 on the 1st tee. All money taken in will be raffled off in merchandise. Cost of raffle tickets are 3 for $20, 10 for $50, and 30 for $100.

Putting Contest All day Friday you may enter in to the putting contest at the practice putting green. Entry is 5 balls for $20. You will have a 10 foot putt for all 5 balls. For every ball you make, you get a chance at a lengthy putt. The top 3 that are closest to the hole on the long putt, will have a showdown on the 18th hole Friday night. The split will be 1st – 60%, 2nd – 30%, 3rd – 10%. Payout will be in cash.

Cliff Hanger Shootout (Friday) Hole #12, each player for a $20 cash entry, may enter a “winners take all” closest to the pin contest. A member of the Crystal Tree staff will sign you up on the tee. After the entire group hits, they will go with you to the green and take measurements of the balls closest to the hole. They will not reveal any other information. The winners will be announced Friday night. The split will be 1st – 60%, 2nd – 30%, 3rd – 10%. Payout will be in cash.

Beat the Pro (Saturday, #8) $10 to $100 wager. Test your skills against a member of the Crystal Tree Golf Staff. You hit first, Golf Staff hits last.

Payouts are as follows: Hit the Green – Double Your Bet Hit the Green & Inside Golf Staff – Triple Your Bet Miss Green – Lose Your Bet
