40TH SCGA FOUR-BALL NET CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2019
PLAYER INFORMATION
Navy Golf Course (Destroyer Course)
5660 Orangewood Ave.
Cypress, CA 90630
(714) 889-1576
FORMAT:
The qualifying round will be 18 holes of four-ball net stroke play (two-person better ball).
During qualifying, the lowest Handicap Index from the June 1 to August 15 revisions will be used to calculate each player’s Course Handicap. If a player’s lowest Handicap Index from June 1 to August 15 is above 18.4, he or she will play down to 18.4. Men will receive 90% and women will receive 95% of their Course Handicap. After the reduction, if partners’ Course Handicaps differ by more than eight strokes, an additional 10% reduction will be applied to their Course Handicaps. Additionally, every player’s scoring file is reviewed by SCGA staff. The SCGA Rules and Competitions Committee reserves the right to adjust a player’s Course Handicap at any time prior to or during the competition.
Qualifying teams will advance to the 40th SCGA Four-Ball Net Championship at Olivas Links in Ventura on Monday – Tuesday, September 30 – October 1, 2019. The final number of qualifying spots at each site will be available from the Committee on the day of play. In the event of a tie for the last qualifying place or an alternate's position, the USGA-suggest method of matching scorecards will be used to break all ties starting with Holes 10 – 18 (see Section 5 of the Committee Procedures).
REGISTRATION:
There will be no formal registration at this event. Players must check in with the Pro Shop if they wish to rent a golf cart.
STARTING TIMES AND PAIRINGS:
