FORMAT:

All players will participate in a 36-hole four-ball stroke-play championship (18 holes each day).

Awards will be given to those who finish in 1st through 5th place. A hole-by-hole sudden death playoff will occur if there is a tie for first place only.

REGISTRATION:

All teams must register at the SCGA table outside the golf shop. Registration will begin at 7 a.m.

PRACTICE ROUNDS:

Due to current club policy, no practice rounds will be available for the championship.

STARTING TIMES AND PAIRINGS:

Starting times and pairings will be e-mailed to players and posted online at scga.org one week in advance of the championship.
Starting times will range from 8:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. each day.
Players are encouraged to arrive at their assigned tee well in advance of their starting time, as the SCGA starter will have information to discuss and distribute to each player in the group. Furthermore, players arriving late will be penalized under Rule 5.3a of the Rules of Golf. For example, the 9:00 a.m. starting time is defined as 9:00:00, and players arriving after that time are considered late. Lead groups should plan to be at their assigned tee 10 minutes in advance of their starting time. Subsequent groups are encouraged to arrive in time to watch the group in front of them tee off.

TEES & YARDAGE:

All yardages and course information can be found in the “Yardage Information” tab located on the Championship Portal.

DRIVING RANGE:

The driving range will be available by 7 a.m. on each morning of the championship.
Range balls will be provided compliments of The Farms and the SCGA.
