BETTER BALL OF TWO*

 

*Mandatory Pairings Tournament - you must sign up for play on the pairings sheet to participate.

Two-person teams - full handicap, no maximum.

Each person plays her own ball and receives strokes on certain holes in accordance with her handicap. The lower net ball of the team determines the score for each hole. No handicap deductions are made at the end, since strokes have already been applied hole by hole for each person. Prizes will be awarded to the three lowest net teams.

HOW TO MARK THE CARD: Before beginning play, place "dots" on scorecard on the holes where you receive strokes. (For example, if your handicap is 23, put a dot on every hole, plus a second dot on five more holes in the order of handicap difficulty, for a total of 23 dots.) Record your actual score on the scorecard. Calculate your net score on each hole by deducting the number of dots from your actual score.

THREESOMES: In the event there are not enough people to make up a foursome, teams will be made of threesomes, with the captain of the threesome serving as the partner to both of the other players. If the captain of the group is missing, then the threesome may choose that player by mutual agreement. Any method can be used to select the person to serve as partner to both other players, but the choice must be agreed upon and recorded on the tournament board prior to the start of play.
