Two Man Partnership Rules
- 80% of each player’s handicap will be used.
- There will only be one flight for the Two-Man Partnership, paying 25-30% of the field. There will be a prize for the Low Gross Team Score as well.
- There will not be any “ties” for positions or payouts. A tie for first place will be settled on the course! Thus, if you think your team has a shot at the top spot, you will need to hang around in case of a tie. All other ties will be settled with a scorecard playoff using net scores beginning with the 14th hole (the hardest hole on the course).
- Closest to the Pin wager will be available on all par 3 holes.
- There will be an additional side wager called “The Blind Partnership”. In this wager, you may select any other player in the field as your partner. You may also select as many players as you like! Cost will be $5.00 per player selected. In the Blind Partnership, if both players post an “X” for a hole, the highest score each player is allowed on that hole (per the ESC System) plus one shot will be the score posted. The top 2 or 3 spots will be paid, based on participation.
- Feel free to make your own side wagers against other teams!!
