 Player Information:

This tournament will be comprised of 2-person teams from the same SNEWGA club competing against other teams from their Region.  It will consist of 18 holes of stroke play. The first 9 holes will be Better Ball and the second 9 holes will be Modified Alternate Shot.  The one winning net team from each Region will advance to the Presidents Cup match play rounds.

  • Players must be members of SNEWGA by July 21, 2016 and must have a valid GHIN handicap.
  • Handicaps will be adjusted to 90%, and partners will be limited to a maximum handicap spread of 8 strokes, after adjustment.   NOTE:  You may sign up as a team even if your handicaps are more than 8 strokes apart.  If there is a greater spread between partners, the higher handicap team member will have her adjusted course handicap reduced to meet the 8 stroke maximum.
  • Player substitutions may be made between the Regional Championships and Presidents Cup rounds, if needed.  Once a player has been eliminated from the tournament, she is not eligible to play as a substitute.  All handicap and eligibility requirements apply to substitute players.
  • Ties will be broken by playoffs wherever possible and if extra holes are played, they will all be played in Better Ball format.
