Tournament Format
Practice Round
Wednesday, July 27. Tee times begin at 7:30am
Practice rounds may be scheduled two weeks in advance. Please contact the Golf Shop to reserve
your starting time. There will be an optional cash pool - skins game buy-in.
Matches
Thursday - Saturday, July 28 - 30.
The entire field has been divided into flights of six two-man teams. A maximum allowable
handicap index differential between the member and guest is 7. For example: If the
member’s handicap index is 6.5 and the guest’s handicap index is 20.1, the guest will be adjusted to
13.5. Also, all previous year’s horserace participants may not return with a higher handicap index.
Flight assignments were based upon combined adjusted total team course handicap. Once flights
are made, there will be no shots given during matches with the exception of the 1st flight in which
handicaps at 80% will be given by wheeling off the low man. U.S.G.A. match play and local rules
will apply throughout the tournament.
Each team plays five 9-hole matches against each opponent within their respective flight. The
format for each match is one best ball of the two-man teams. Each match represents nine (9)
possible points.
One point for winning the hole
One-half point for halving the hole
The winning team will receive a maximum of 6.5 points per match. The losing team will receive
their earned point total.
For example: In an 8 to 1 match, winners will receive 6.5 points and the losers receive 1 point.
The first, second and third place finishers in each flight will advance to the Saturday afternoon
Championship Horse Race. In the event of a tie within the flight, the score of the tying team’s match
will determine the winner. If the tying teams halved their match, then the winner will be
determined by a sudden death playoff. Note: This rule applies to Payouts and Wagering and in the
event the head to head matches do not break the tie(s), the money will be split.
All sudden death playoffs will be a best ball format starting on the first hole. If on the playoff hole
the teams tie on the low-ball, then the team’s second ball will become the tiebreaker. If both balls tie,
then the playoff will continue until a winner is determined.
Nine-Hole Matches: Should matches be cancelled before completion then all points for the
unplayed holes will be halved and added to the team’s point totals. If a team fails to show up for a
scheduled match, the opponent will receive 5 points for the match. If two or more matches are
cancelled, then the following rules shall determine cash payoffs and entry into the Championship
Horse Race. In the event of a tie for first place, the score of the tying team’s match will determine
the flight winner. If the tying teams halved their match or did not play one another, then two flight
winners will be declared. All players shall receive the sum of the first and second place cash pool
money, which will be evenly split between the teams and both teams will enter the Championship
Horse Race. The same basic rules apply for second and third place ties.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FLIGHTED HORSERACE

Each flight will play three successive holes. Two man best ball
eliminating two teams on the first hole, two teams on the second
with the final two teams playing the third hole for a single winner.
If all six teams do not participate, the flight will by lot decide the
elimination format to be used over the three holes. Ties on each
hole will be broken with a chip off. All teams remaining for the tie
breaker will have both players chip off using the closest ball as
their “score”. Chip off spot and order will be determined by the
group. Winning team wins $100 in Golf Shop credit.

Championship Horse Race
Saturday, July 30 2:30 pm
The Championship Horse Race will determine the overall tournament champion for
the Highlander. Galleries are encouraged and beverage carts will be following the
exciting golf action.
The first, second and third place finishers of each flight will be divided into three
groups. No shots will be given and flights 1-3 will play from gold tees, flights 4-11:
blue tees, and flights 12 and up: white tees. This is a sudden death modified scotch
event. All ties on any holes will be settled with a chip-off in which winning teams
advance to the next hole. Both players will participate in the chip-off, with the
winners being determined by closest to the pin.
Format:
Each team member will hit a drive on each of the first three holes as long as they
remain in the competition. After the teams select a drive, they will alternate shots
until the ball is holed. The team order of play on the first hole will be determined by
the luck of the draw. The team order of play after the first hole will be in the reverse
order of the previous hole. The final two teams from each of the three groups will be
united on the sixteenth hole. Again, each team member will hit a drive, a drive is
selected and then it is alternate shot until the ball is holed. Team order of play on the
sixteenth hole will be determined by the luck of the draw. The team order of play
after the sixteenth hole will be in the reverse order of the previous hole.
The two (2) high scores on the sixteenth hole will be eliminated and the four
remaining teams will move on to the seventeenth hole. One team will be eliminated
on the seventeenth hole. The final three teams will play the eighteenth hole for the
Championship. In the event of a tie, the Champions will be determined by a sudden
death playoff on the eighteenth hole. A tie for second and third place will be
determined by a chip-off.
Committee Responsibilites:
The committee reserves the right to alter the Horse Race Qualification procedure
depending on weather conditions. The committee will exhaust all possibilities to
insure a Champion as well as a Runner-Up and Third Place finishers. If weather
cancels the Championship Horse Race, then all Horse Race cash pool money will be
split evenly between the fifteen flights among the top three finishers according to the
Flight Pool payout.
Important Notes
Attire
All contestants are required to wear tucked in golf shirts with golf slacks or
appropriate length golf shorts with no jeans on the golf course.
Caddies and Carts
All teams will be assigned carts prior to each round. If you choose, a team may
request a forecaddie in addition to the cart. Teams may also walk and use a
caddie instead of using a cart. Please notify the golf shop as soon as possible if
you intend to use a caddie and make any special caddie requests prior to July
1st. Charges for the caddie will be in addition to any other tournament fees.
Caddies will not be allowed on the patio during breakfast, lunch, and dinner
(includes member’s children).
Stag Night
On Wednesday, July 27th, from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm, the annual stag night will
be held; this event is restricted to participants only. No women, children, or
caddies will be allowed to attend.
Saturday Night
The Saturday evening dinner following the conclusion of the Horserace on the
golf course is reserved for Highlander Participants and their significant others
only.
Texas Hold ‘Em:
On Wednesday, beginning at 9:15 pm a Texas Hold‘em card game will
begin in the lower level near the bar. The game will last a hour and fifteen
minutes and will conclude with a winner! The buy in will be $100 per player.
Weather Contingencies
The decision to suspend and/or resume play will be determined by the Golf
Shop. If, due to lightning, inclement weather or an emergency, the Committee
decides to suspend play, a horn will sound with a continuous solid tone and all
players shall immediately discontinue play, mark their ball position and return to
the Clubhouse. An intermittent solid tone will indicate play may resume.
Contestants must be amateurs with a certified handicap index.
