Mayacama Golf Club cordially invites you to compete in the 17th annual Men's Member-Guest Golf Tournament. The field is limited to 60 teams and all entries will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Please keep this tournament information for your future reference.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The format for this tournament will be Four-ball Match Play (Better-Ball-of-Two) event using 100% of your Course Handicap. Five 9-hole matches will be played within each flight. Scoring for these matches will be based on the following point system:

Hole Won: 1 point
Hole Halved: ½ point
Maximum Points per 9-Hole Match: 7 points

The team accumulating the highest point total in each flight for the five matches will be declared the Flight Winner. The team with the second highest point total will be declared the Flight Runner-up. Ties for flight winners and runners-up will be broken by the results of the earlier head-to-head matches between the tied teams.

FLIGHTS
The field will be divided into ten flights based upon the combined handicaps of the two team members. Each flight will consist of six teams. The Gross Division Flight will play from the Back Tee Markers. Members wishing to compete in this flight must check the appropriate box during registration. If more than six teams enter to play in the Gross Division Flight, the teams will be selected based on the six teams with the lowest combined Handicap Indexes. All other flights will play from the Middle Tee Markers.

OVERALL CHAMPION
The Overall Champion will be decided by a Four-Hole Shoot-Out among the ten Flight Winners. The Shoot-Out will begin at 2:00 pm, immediately following lunch on Saturday, October 7, 2017. The format for the Shoot-Out will be Foursome Stroke Play (alternate shot).

HANDICAP INFORMATION
Members and guests MUST have an established current USGA Handicap Index to compete for net prizes. The Tournament Committee will be using your current USGA Handicap Index as of October 1, 2017. Strokes for all matches will be distributed according to the Stroke Index on the scorecard. For players whose handicap is an odd number, ½ strokes will be given. (Example: If a player has a handicap of 9 strokes, he will receive a total of 4-½ strokes per nine-hole match.) The maximum handicap differential between partners is 10 strokes.
