About the event
This two-day team event occurs each year to coincide with the USGA scheduled Ryder/Presidents Cup match. There are two teams, each captained by MGA Past President. The two captains will select team members from those players who sign up for the event. The event will be played on a Wednesday/Thursday. No other MGA Event will be played that week.
General Tournament Rules
All players will play from their regular MGA tees. All strokes count, so all balls must be played into the cup unless the other team concedes the putt. Handicap strokes will be awarded using the Strokes-Off Method described above (see MGA Match Play).
The first day, Wednesday, is broken up into the front and back 9’s. Two-man teams play Modified Alternate Shot - Match Play on the Front 9 (Holes 1 – 9).
Both golfers on a team hit drives, and the best ball is selected to continue play. The golfer whose drive was not chosen hits the second shot, and then the two players alternate shots until the ball is holed or the hole is conceded. There will be no minimum drives required for each player. Handicaps will be computed as the average of the two players on each team
On the Back 9 (Holes 10 - 18) – the same 2-Man teams play Best Ball-Match Play.
The best net score of the team on a hole is used to determine the winner of the hole. 100% Handicaps will be used.
Day 2 (Thursday) – Singles have Match Play, 100% Handicap for 18 holes.
