TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The tournament will be a 72 hole Best Ball Stroke Competition between teams of four, consisting of a club professional and three of his/her club male amateurs. The field will be divided into four flights and play 18 holes beginning at Port Royal Golf Club, Belmont Hills Golf Club, Tucker’s Point Club and Mid Ocean Club. The amateurs will play three-quarters of their handicap (maximum 20). In addition, there will be a DAILY TEAM low gross and low net competition. Amateurs will also compete for Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin Competitions at their respective courses. 

Major Prizes will be awarded for Low Net and Low Gross. In the event of a tie for first place in either the Low Net or Low Gross division, or the Professional Division, a play-off will take place on Friday December 10th at a time and course determined by the committee. All other ties will be decided by retrogression against the course par. Low Net being the major division will take precedence over the Low Gross.
