Page 7 - The Dutch

Flighting

There will be no flighting. All teams will be trying to beat their team quota based off of their
handicap from Thursday, August 26, 2021. The team with the most points above their team
quota over two days wins The Dutch.

Ties

First Place will be decided by a sudden death playoff starting on Hole #10.All other ties will be
split.

Handicapping

All scores will be put into the GHIN handicap system, if you are out of the hole, please put
what you would have made.

Rain Out

In the event that there is rain, we will do everything possible to finish the first round or the
tournament. Because of the nature of this scoring in a shotgun, if the second round gets
washed out at any point, all scoring reverts back to the first 18 or Saturday totals.
