Event Play:
• Each player plays his own ball on every hole from the same tee boxes as in normal weekly open play.
• Record each player’s gross (actual) score on each hole.
• Player’s net score for each hole will be determined by reducing his gross score by one stroke (two strokes when warranted) on any hole where a player’s Event Handicap is equal to, or higher than, the assigned course handicap for the hole.
• When a player’s Event Handicap does not dictate receiving a one-stroke reduction based on the course handicap for the hole, the player’s net score for the hole will be equal to his gross (actual) score.
• After the completion of play, the Scoring Committee will use the scoring system to calculate/determine each player’s net scores and the equivalent points earned on each hole. The sum of these Stableford Equivalent Points for 18 holes will be the player’s score for the event.
• Each player’s placement (order of finish) in the event will be based on the 18-hole total Stableford Equivalent Points. Players will be ranked highest-to-lowest to determine the order of finish.
