CENTRAL NEBRASKA SENIOR GOLF ASSOCIATION

            GENERAL TOURNAMENT POLICIES

 

Paybacks:

CNSGA wants to pay as many players as possible, rather than have any single player receive a large payback, so

-- we encourage giving flag prizes to give more players a chance at receiving something back

-- pay no more than 1-1½ times the entry fee for 1^st place (i.e. $50 entry should pay $50-$75 maximum for 1^st place)

-- pay as many places as possible

-- try to make paybacks easily dividable between players, try to have small bills in the envelope to make division easier

-- if using merchandise certificates try to have them preprinted to save time

 

GPS – Lazer:

CNSGA will allow any electronic measuring device approved by the USGA to be used at our tournaments.

 

Tees:

-- players at least 75 & older should use the forward most tees

-- all other players should use the second most forward tees or senior tees where available

 

Scrambles – 3 & 4 man:

-- divide the field into multiple flights by individual handicaps, if you have fewer than 40 players you may run one flight

-- then make up teams within the flights keeping total team handicaps as equal as possible

-- consider having a Super Senior flight (over age 75) if you have enough players

 

Choose your partner -- 2 man Scramble or 2 man Best Ball :

-- divide the field into flights by total team handicap, if you have fewer than 40 players you may run one flight

-- pay gross & net places in EACH flight

-- SCRAMBLES: team handicap should be no more than the average of the total individual handicaps; BUT we recommend that you give 50% of the low handicap and 25% of the higher handicap as an adjusted team handicap (i.e. a 4 handicapper with a 24 handicap partner would get 2 + 6, or a total handicap of 8 from their gross score)

-- BEST BALL: give each individual player at least 75% to 100% of their individual handicap on a hole by hole basis

 

 

TREADWAY MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT:

-- flighted by age groups as directed by CNSGA

-- individual tournament using full handicaps

-- Gross and Net payments to each flight

-- handicaps will be the lesser of the players current GHIN or other handicap, OR the average score recorded in previous Treadway events

-- the host club needs to post tournament scores for all players in the GHIN handicap system

 

HANDICAPPING:

-- CNSGA reserves the right to adjust individual player’s handicaps at any event

-- if you question a players handicap, contact me immediately, we will work with you to solve the question

-- we will use the scores recorded in previous Treadway individual tournaments
