TEAM FORMATION & HANDICAP REQUIREMENTS 

There are no minimum handicap requirements for this format given that we consider a team’s handicap in computing the final score. The two (2) team members’ aggregate USGA or Golf Canada Handicap Index cannot be greater than 40.0. A professional player may play as part of a team of two (2) and their handicap will be set at 0.0.

 

• If a player does not have a verifiable USGA or Golf Canada Handicap, it will be set at 0.
• The Handicap will be calculated where the event will be held.
• Each team member will be playing at 70% handicap in the better-ball, stroke play format.
• A maximum of 18 shots will be awarded towards a player’s handicap.
• No one will be ”giving back strokes”. The lowest handicap will be set at 0.
• Two scratch players cannot compete together on the same team.
• A professional player cannot compete together on the same team as a scratch player.
• If a player is a no-show or is late, his/her partner can still play alone.

 

For Example:

• 0.0 + 0.0 = 0.0 (INELIGIBLE, two scratch players cannot compete on the same team)
• 0.0 + 0.1 = 0.1 (ELIGIBLE)
• 10.8 + 26.8 = 37.6 (ELIGIBLE)
• 22.8 + 30.2 = 53.0 (INELIGIBLE, team aggregate USGA or Golf Canada Handicap Index is greater than 40.0)

 

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

To reward those who play the best relative to their true ability, the final team score is the team’s net score. We will use 70% of each player’s USGA or Golf Canada Handicap Indexes in computing the final score for the 2-Man Best-Ball. Each player plays his/her own ball, and the team score for each hole is the lowest net score of the two players.

 

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 four 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.
