allowance FOR THE
MATCHES is calculated based on the
USGA Handicap systems Sec 9-4
(a) (i) recommendation:
“The higher-handicapped player receives the
full difference in course
handicap between the two players; the lower-handicapped player plays
from scratch."
HOW TO CONDUCT THE EVENT
Match play is conducted hole by hole. The player having the
lowest net score on a hole wins that hole. The player winning the
most holes during the round wins the match. The net score for a hole
is determined by subtracting any strokes that the player
receives (based on handicap) from the players actual
score.

SETTLING TIES
The method
to settle ties in stroke play qualifying is based on
USGA Handicap sec 9-5 (b)
recommendation:
Match
the last nine holes. If the
players have the same score for the last nine holes, then use the last
six holes, if still tied use the last three holes.
If there is still no winner, then the last hole is used.
The method to
settle ties in matches is to play extra holes at sudden death. The
first player to win a hole is the match winner. Handicaps are
applied as if an entire round were being played. If extra holes
cannot be played, then ask someone from the pro shop to administer a
chip-off on the practice green.
