Shootout

There will be a Shootout to determine the Overall Champion.

If you win an event in your flight, you automatically get into the Shootout. The team with the highest Overall point total to not win an event, makes the Shootout.

Each flight will have 4 teams make the Shootout. The format will be true alternate shot and you will be competing against the teams in your flight on the first two holes. Two teams will be eliminated on the first hole (from your flight), and then a final team on the second hole (from your flight).

The final hole (#10), will feature a team from each flight to determine the Overall Champion.

Ties will be broken by a chip off from a designated spot chosen by a member of the Professional Staff. Combined distance will determine the winner. Shots apply where they fall. Back to Table of Contents
