HUSBAND-WIFE “A” and “B” CHAMPIONSHIPS
Entry Fee: $180 per team (2 players)
Days: 1
Eligibility: Wife must be a WMGA member with Handicap Index maximum of 14.0 (Class A), or Handicap Index minimum of 14.1 (Class B) on the day of entry; husband must provide a GHIN number or play from scratch. If a subsequent handicap revision would make the wife ineligible for the event, the team will not be required to withdraw; however, she will be moved to the other class and will not be eligible for the championship that day.
Format: 18 holes of Pinehurst stroke play. Pairings made by the Committee. In Pinehurst format both partners drive; each plays a second stroke with the other’s ball; they then select the ball with which they will play alternate strokes thereafter. The player with the lower Course Handicap receives 60% of his/her Course Handicap. The player with the higher Course Handicap receives 40% of his/her Course Handicap. Add the percentage allowances together then round off. The total with .5 or higher is rounded upward. This becomes the team’s Course Handicap. Trophy awarded to the low gross team in the championship event. Prizes may be awarded to the low gross or low net teams in the non-championship categories. Please check the Tournament Schedule Book (TSB) to see what district is holding the championship event for that category and the full description of trophies awarded. Ties for the gross trophy will be decided by an immediate hole-by-hole playoff beginning on a hole determined by the committee. Any team not present for a playoff must forfeit. Ties for the net prize will be decided by a match of cards. The winner will be determined on the basis of the best net score for the last nine holes on the second day. If still tied, the winner will be determined on the basis of the best net score for the last six holes, the last three holes and finally the 18th hole. One-half, one-third, one-sixth and one-eighteenth of each player’s Course Handicap will be deducted to determine the best net score. If a tie is not broken by this procedure, a winner will be determined by blind draw.
