Format…USGA rules apply for play. Medalist format. If necessary, all SGN Board modifications override USGA rules.
Scores must be recorded as actual number of strokes….not scores of over or under par. Scores must be confirmed and verified by all members of the group. Incorrect scores are cause for disqualification. Golf Genius Software is used to determine calculations and formulas.
Blatant disregard of USGA and SGN rules are grounds for disqualification. The SGN Board will review the infraction and determine the decision of disqualification. If a participant is disqualified the green fees and pot fees are not refunded. If a player demands a refund the player will be banned from any future SGN hosted events.
Flights are A Flight and B Flights. These flight determinations are fluid. It is SGN’s objective to split the field in equal halves. Generally, A Flight is from Scratch to 14.9. B Flight is 15.0 and higher. However this can change based on number of entrants.
During regular season (March – November) Points are awarded based on combining A flight net scores and B flight net scores. Tournament points are determined based on TOP 10 lowest tournament scores. The participating points for our regular 18 hole events is 3 points and 4 points for mid-major events.
