END OF YEAR NET SCORE TOURNAMENT

 
 
The net score tournament will be played in December at the conclusion of the Club Championship season. The USGA handicap indexes from the Club Championship tournaments will be used. To participate in the end of year tournament a player must have participated in a minimum of five (5) Club Championship tournaments. The handicap index of each player will be used to determine the course handicap based on the course played. Each player will have handicap strokes based on the course handicap subtracted from his gross score at the end of the tournament. The winner of the tournament will be the player with the lowest net score for the tournament.
 
In the event of a tie the following scorecard playoff format will be used to determine the winner:
 
        1. The back nine net score will be the first tiebreaker. The back nine net score will be determined by subtracting 50% of the handicap strokes for the players involved in the tiebreaker from the gross back nine score. The player with the lowest net front nine score will be the winner.
 
        2. The front nine net score will be the second tiebreaker. If a tie exists after the first tiebreaker is employed, the net front nine score will be determined by subtracting 50% of the handicap strokes for the players involved in the tiebreaker from the gross front nine score. The player with the lowest front nine net score will be the winner.
 
        3. A sudden death hole by hole scorecard playoff will be the third tiebreaker. If a tie exists after the first and second tiebreakers are employed, the sudden death playoff will start with the #1 handicap hole and proceed to the next hardest hole until a winner is determined. One stroke per hole will be subtracted until all handicap strokes are used. The first player who wins a hole will be the winner.
 
        4. If a tie exists after the first, second, and third tiebreakers are employed, each remaining player will be declared the winner.
 
The winner of the net score tournament will have $250 paid toward attendance of the 2011 Spring Fling or 2011 National Tournament. In the event of a tie, the money will be split equitably among the number of players involved in the tie.
