Tournament Details and Contest:

Scoring:

Stroke Play with New New Peoria (NNP) Handicap System.

Net Score = Players Gross Score - Players Calculated Handicap

  1. Randomly select 12 holes
  2. Add up gross scores of the selected holes and multiply the sum by a factor of 1.5 to arrive at a NNP adjusted score.
  3. Then deduct PAR of the course from NNP adjusted score, and multiply the balance by a factor of 0.8. This will be the player’s NNP Handicap.
  4. To get the NNP Net Score, deduct NNP Handicap from the player’s gross score for 18 holes.
  5. Once the Net Scores of the players are obtained, the one with the lowest Net Score will be the champion


Local Club Rules and The Rules of Golf of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews will apply. For Speed of Play, players will kindly pick up the ball once maximum allowable strokes are reached. All scores should be marked in actual number of strokes and not '-1', '0', +1', and so forth.
