ENTRY FEE $1500.00 per team
Wednesday, September 13th – Saturday, September 16th
Tournament Format: 54-hole stroke play using the Stableford point scoring system against an established player quota. A player’s quota is determined by subtracting their handicap from 36. Players will earn points accordingly:
Double Eagle - 8 points Par 2 points
Eagle 6 points Bogey 1 points
Birdie 4 points Double Bogey or worse 0 points
The team score will be the combined +/- points against each player’s quota. After each round, a player’s quota will be adjusted by 50% plus or minus the total points against the day’s quota.
All USGA Rules and Lantana Local Rules will apply. Play will be from the Blue tees. If your age + your course handicap equals or exceeds 75, you may play from the white tees based on the USGA handicap. All players must have a USGA verifiable handicap with at least 10 scores posted within the last 6 months. Those players that do not meet this specification will have their handicaps reviewed by the tournament committee.
