Event Formats:

Two Person –  Scramble:  On every hole, both players may hit a tee shot. The players then select one of the tee shots to play from for the next shot.  Both players may then hit from that position.  This process is repeated until the ball is holed. (aka. Captain’s Choice)

Two Person – Best Ball:  On every hole, both players play their own balls.  At the completion of the hole, the lowest score serves as the team score for the hole.  (i.e. The “Best Ball” among the player is selected as the team score for that hole.)

Two Person – Platinum “SHAMBLE”:  On every hole, both players may hit a tee shot. The players then select one of the tee shots to play from for the next shot.  Both players then play their own balls in for the rest of the hole.  At the completion of the hole, the lowest score serves as the team score for the hole.  (*This format has the benefits of a “Scramble” from the tee and the benefits of “Best Ball” allowing a partner not to be forced to finish every hole.)

Two Person –  Platinum Stableford:  On every hole, both players play their own balls.  At the completion, of the hole, both player’s scores are assigned “POINTS” based on the following:
Eagle:  4 points,   Birdie:  3 points,  Par:  2 points,  Bogey:  1 point,  Double Bogey or higher:  0 Points
At the completion of play, both player’s points are added together to show a “TEAM TOTAL” with the highest score being the best.

Two Person – Platinum Alternate Shot:  On every hole, both players may hit a tee shot. The players then select one of the tee shots to play from for the next shot.  Alternate shot is then started by the player who’s ball was not selected  from the selected tee shot location.  Players then alternate hitting shots in until the ball is holed.

Tees by Age:

Tees selected and assigned to players are ultimately determined by the hosting course.  As a general rule we attempt the following recommended tees by age of players.

Standard Tees:  6200 – 6900 yards (all players under the age of 60)

Senior Tees:  5700 – 6100 yards  (all players 60 and over up to age 69)

Super Senior Tees:  5600 yards or less  (all players over the age of 70)
