Stableford Format – Team vs. Field (Net)
This event will be played using a Stableford scoring format. Instead of counting total strokes, teams earn points based on their net score on each hole after handicap strokes are applied.
Points are awarded as follows:
Double or Triple Bogey = 0 points
Bogey = 1 point
Par = 2 points
Birdie = 3 points
Eagle = 4 points
Double Eagle / Albatross = 5 points
Triple Eagle / Hole-in-One = 6 points
Handicap strokes will be applied according to each player’s course handicap. Stableford points are calculated using each player’s net score.
Team points are accumulated hole-by-hole throughout the round. At the conclusion of play, team totals will be ranked against the entire field. The team with the highest total Stableford points wins.
In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be determined by a scorecard playoff using the final holes played, comparing team totals from the last hole backward (18 to 1) until the tie is broken.
Stableford rewards strong play and allows teams to move on quickly from a tough hole — every hole is a new opportunity to earn points.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ
This is a TEAM event. Teams are paired randomly using an A, B, C, D format to ensure fair and balanced play.
If a request is made to play with a specific person, we will do our best to accommodate it; however, requests cannot be guaranteed, as team index totals must remain as even as possible for fairness.
Going forward, if a player is missing, a blind draw will be randomly selected through Golf Genius. Teams will be notified of their blind draw player at check-in.
Please note: the blind draw player is not eligible to earn points or winnings, even if the team places.
Prizes (8 winners):
1st Place Low NET Winners: PGA Superstore Gift Card + 25 Series Points
2nd Place Low NET Winners: PGA Superstore Gift Card + 20 Series Points
After the Round
Miracle Putt Contest - NEW
After finishing your round, return your bag to your car but keep your putter and one ball. Early finishers may grab food or a drink before we begin.
Participants will receive a text that the contest begins in five minutes. Report to the putting green at that time and make sure your ball is marked with your initials.
Players will be divided into groups (based on participation) and putt simultaneously. The winner is determined by a ball holed or, if none are holed, the putt closest to the cup. If multiple balls are holed, those players advance to a putt-off.
Players who purchase two putts will participate in two groups.
