THIS UNIQUE EVENT features two-man teams playing round robin 6-hole matches using an Alternate Shot (modified foursomes) format. The field will be set at 32 two-man teams. These teams will be arranged into four-team pools. Pool play will consist of three 6-hole matches in which teams complete all six holes. You win, lose, or tie based on the number of holes you won in each 6-hole match. Winners receive three points for a win, and a tie results in one point for each team. After 18 holes each pool will produce a winner, and then we will have these teams compete. The “A” pool winner will play the “B” pool winner, and “C” will face off against “D,” and so forth in a 9-hole match. The winners from this round will meet to vdetermine the overall winner. The finals match will also be a 9-hole match. Teams will earn Canadian Lakes Cup Points during this event (10 points for a win and 5 points for a tie). Entry information is available on the CLPOC website, www.memebers.canadianlakes.org. This is a members-only event.
