FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Each participant will be placed in a flight consisting of four different courses. The courses that are participating will be listed on the PARTICIPATING COURSES page. Once all handicaps are received and the event has been flighted participants will be notified of their flight as well as what courses they will be playing each day.  This information will be released approximately 1 week prior to the start of the tournament.

All of the participating courses are listed on the PARTICIPATING COURSES page. Each course will have practice round information listed for you to view.  You will be notified of the courses you will be playing approximately 1 week prior to the start of the tournament.  You can book practice rounds at the courses within your rotation, or book additional rounds at any of the participating courses you wish to play.

* Please note that yardages/distances are used for guidelines only. In some circumstances actual yardages may fall outside of these ranges.

Participants are able to play in the same foursome as a friend in the Just For Fun Flight ONLY. This is a non-competitive flight which you can read more about here. 

Within all other flights participants may not request to be in the same foursome, though they may request to be in the same flight for travel purposes. Please take a look at the next question to better understand how the flight together requests work.

We do allow participants to request to be placed in the same flight as a friend.  The flight together request is an option available to participants that may be traveling together and need to be in the same flight for transportation purposes . Please read the below carefully if you have shared transportation plans:

You may request to play in the same flight as up to 3 friends of the same gender. To do this all players making the request will have to play down to the lowest age group and lowest handicap bracket of the players involved in the request. 

For example: If a 65 year old man with a 12 handicap wants to play in the same flight as his 42 year old son who has a 7.5 handicap, both men would have to play in the 49 and under age group and in the flight that a 7.5 would play. The participant playing down into a lower flight will have their handicap adjusted to the highest handicap within that flight.  If the handicap range was 6.2-8.9 the father in the example would have his handicap changed from 12 to 8.9. 

Keep in mind your handicap index will be your tournament index which may be a players lowest index revision over the course of a year.  Players also may have a Tournament Points System Adjustment or a World Am Index (an index based off of the prior years scores) which could lower their tournament index. 

A difference of .1 in indexes could mean the difference in an entire set of courses. The flight together request is a decision made by the player, if you MUST be flighted together you NEED to make these requests regardless of your difference in index.

All Flight Together requests must be made on the Handicap Verification Form completed in August and must be completed by BOTH players to be processed by the tournament committee. For example, If Player B is an 8 handicap that requests to be flighted with Player A who is a 5 handicap, but Player A does not indicate he would like to be flighted with Player B, no change will be made to either individual. 

No Flight Together requests will be accepted after the handicap submission deadline has passed for any reason. Once the request has been made and players flights are announced no changes will be made to any player’s flight at that point in time. 

The tournament committee reserves the right to deny a flight together request.

Caddies & spectators are NOT permitted, no exceptions.

*Spectators will be admitted for the Final Round ONLY*

Participants in the event will be assigned two to a cart for each round of the event. 

Players are NOT able to walk their rounds.
