TEAM FORMATION & HANDICAP REQUIREMENTS
Teams MUST respect the handicap criteria listed below when choosing their partners. The team’s aggregate USGA or Golf Canada Handicap Index must be greater than 1.0. The best player on the team is a “joker” with no handicap requirements and does not influence the team aggregate index. The joker can either be a professional or a positive handicap golfer. The team must ensure that at least one (1) player has a Handicap Index greater than 5.0.
For Example:
- (+) 3 + 0.0+ 5.0 = 5.0 (ELIGIBLE, Team aggregate USGA or Golf Canada Handicap Index is above 1.0. The “joker” does influence the team aggregate index)
- PRO + (+) 4.0 + 5.2 = 1.2 (ELIGIBLE, Team aggregate USGA or Golf Canada Handicap Index is above l.0)
- PRO+ (+) 7.0 + 8.0 = 1.0 (ELIGIBLE, Team aggregate USGA or Golf Canada Handicap Index is above 1.0)
- 1.0 + 3.7 + 4.4 = 8.7 (INELIGIBLE, 2 team members have a USGA or Golf Canada Handicap Index below 5.0. The “joker” does not add to the team total)
- PRO+ (+) 5.0 + 5.5 = 0.5 (INELIGIBLE, Team aggregate USGA or Golf Canada Handicap Index is under than 1.0)
All USGA & Golf Canada Indexes must be current and active at the time of registration and through the event. Only official USGA & Golf Canada Handicap Indexes will be accepted at Vegas Golf Series events.
SCORING METHOD
The final team score is the team’s gross score. The Vegas Golf Series does not use Handicap Indexes in computing the final score for the 3-Man Scramble. USGA & Golf Canada Handicap Indexes are used solely for team formation purposes in this format and are calculated at the moment of the RegionaI Final for the entire competition.
Upon arrival, each team will be provided with a scorecard. It is your responsibility to record not only your own scores, but also the scores of your playing partners. At the end of your round, one scorecard (reviewed and signed by all players) must be submitted. This signed scorecard will serve as the official and final scorecard for both teams in your group. We will utilize Golf Genius to create a live leaderboard during the round. Attached are instructions to download the app.
COMPETITION TEES / YARDAGE
Tee decks will be assigned according to one’s age at the time of play. As a rule of thumb, tees will approximately the following yardages per age group:
6400 – 6600 yards – Men 16-54
6100 – 6300 yards – Men 55-70
5000 – 5400 – Women 16-54 / Men 71+
4600 – 5000 – Women 55+
Professionals & players with positive handicap indexes will play one tee deck back from their designated age group tees.
