Food:
The KARMA PIZZA FOOD TRUCK will be onsite from 11a-2p to provide your food needs. We hope you will support and thank them for coming out! The menu is posted in the "Resources" sidebar box.

Format:
Teams are made up of two players, either from the same club or different clubs. Those from different clubs will be in the Team competition only. Those from the same club will compete in the Club and Team competitions.

Teams will play the three formats below. Hole references are those according to the scorecard.
Alternate Shot (Holes #1-6): One player tees off on the odd holes, and the other player tees off on the even holes, regardless of who played the last stroke on the previous hole.
Four-Ball (Holes #7-12): Two-person team format with each player playing her own ball. On each hole, the lower score of the two partners is the TEAM score for the hole.
Scramble (Holes #13-18): Two-person team format. On each hole, each player tees off, then the team chooses the best shot, and both play the second shot from that location and again choose the best shot. Play continues in this manner until the hole is completed. The first ball to be holed is considered the score for the team.
