Match Play Tournaments

First year players have some restictions on registration.  Refer to Club Handbook.

Match Play deadlines for each round WILL be strictly enforced again.   Matches must be completed within the time frame allowed (see brackets) or you will be eliminated from competition.  This will allow us to have additional tournaments if possible.  PGT will monitor and check on each competitor to see who cannot make their match.  That player will forfeit if it is found they cannot make the effort to complete their match.  Both competitors may forfeit that round if it cannot be completed.

This is a handicapped event using current index (using 100% of course adjusted handicap to establish a playing handicap), single elimination match play tournament. There will be two or four brackets of eight players (one bye slot in each bracket for last years bracket winner if not a full field or even a blind draw for bye).    A & B compete for a winner, and C & D compete for a winner.  Winners play for championship. Year long matches can be done during scheduled PGT tournaments.  Players must agree to waive certain different rules.  Year long MP tournament champion wins cash and an engraved crystal trophy.

If there is enough time in the season, a second tournament will take place, and format will depend on number of players entered. This is a second chance match play tournament for cash payout only and matches can be done during scheduled PGT events.  An outside match play tournament wil be for cash payouts only but these matches cannot be done during scheduled PGT events.

Middle or regular tees will be played by both players unless both agree on another set. Both players should play from same tees (ladies play from red). Handicaps will be course and tee adjusted (you may play different tees if handicaps are significantly different).  The playing handicap takes this into account.

1. You and your opponent should schedule your match at a time and place convenient to you both.
2. Matches may also be played at PGT tournaments. Let the Director know 48 hours in advance if you plan on doing this.
3. Players that are scheduled to play will be paired in upcoming PGT events if registered so there is no excuse not to get match in on time.
