Flight Rules
PACE OF PLAY: We have purposely kept our field of golfers at a low number so as to keep the pace of play under 5 hours. We will have Fore-caddies on the course at six select holes to help you locate balls and assist with questions or comments. If a team records its best possible score, the remaining member/members may pickup and proceed to the next hole.
TIES: In the event of a Tie, we will have teams proceed to Pinehurst’s other course and additional holes will be played in a “sudden death” format.
Tin Cup Flight
FORMAT: Two-person Best Ball
Two players on the team each play their own ball throughout the round. The better ball, or low net score, among the two on each hole is the team’s score for that hole.
USGA Handicap required. Handicapped at 100%. Maximum combined team handicap allowed is 36 (you may reduce the higher handicapped player’s index to meet this requirement).
Caddy Shack Flight
FORMAT: Four-player Shamble
All members of the team/foursome tee off and the best ball of the four tee shots is selected. All players move their balls to within one club length of the spot of the best ball. Club length cannot be used to improve lie. From this point, the hole is played out at stroke play with each member of the team playing their own ball into the hole. The best score is recorded for the team.
Each team must utilize at least 3 Tee shots per team member. A Tee shot is any shot taken from any tee box, regardless if it is a par 3, 4, or 5.
Double Bogey (2 shots over par) is your friend – No team can take more than 2 shots over the par for that hole (i.e. Par 4 max score of 6)
Pinehurst Country Club has few out-of-bounds areas and these are marked by white stakes on either the right or left side of the fairway. An out-of-bounds hit is a two stroke penalty and must be replayed from the original spot. To help the pace of play a team member has the option of picking up his/her ball and not completing that hole if the penalty makes their score no longer an advantage to the team.
No Handicaps required
