FORMAT
MATCH PLAY
Each flight will consist of six (6) teams combined by team handicap at 90%. Each team will play a 9-hole match against all other teams in their flight.
Match Play Scoring System
• Each hole is worth one (1) point
• Win a hole, receive one (1) point
• Lose a hole, receive zero (0) points
• Halve a hole, receive half (1/2) a point and opponent receives half (1/2) a point
• Winning team of each match, receives a 1/2 point
• All matches play a full 9 holes
• Maximum number of points won in a match is seven (7 1/2)
• Flight winners are the team with the highest points total
• In case of a “no-show”, the team will play against par with a maximum of seven (7) points
CHAMPIONS
The 22 flight winners will compete in a 3-hole (3, 8 and 9 on the East Course), select drive-alternate shot, aggregate score with handicaps to determine the Overall Champions.
SENIOR & SUPER SENIOR DIVISIONS
Teams with a combined age of 110-134 years compete in the Senior Division, and teams with a combined age of 135+ years compete in the Super Senior Division. The winner is the team with the highest points total. In case of a tie, teams will compete in a one hole playoff, true alternate shot format on East #9 to determine the champions.
HANDICAP INDEX
Golfers will play to their USGA handicap index as of June 1, 2023. Any guest with an index at multiple clubs shall use their lowest index as outlined by the USGA. The BCC Flight and Winged Foot Flight may play at scratch. The Committee will base its decision on the handicap differential of the teams within these flights. The Committee reserves the right to adjust handicaps to ensure prudent competition throughout.
