Each Chapter can select up to twelve (12) members to represent them in the match play tournament event. The April 15th index for each team member will be used to establish the competition pairings. Each team member is required to play both competitive rounds. On Saturday morning, the Foursomes (Alternate Shot) and Four Ball (Team Best Ball) formats will be played. On Sunday morning, all matches will be Singles. Each match, on both days, will be valued at one (1) point. The winner of a match will gain one (1) point for their respective Chapter. If the match ends in a draw, each Chapter will earn ½ point. The California Cup will be awarded to the Chapter that earns the most match points. The Tournament Committee will do the pairings for each match and will ensure that the handicap difference between competitors is minimized. The maximum allowable handicap index for a team member is 32 and any player with a higher index will play down to a 32. For Four ball team pairings, captains need to be aware that the spread between the team players handicaps is 5 strokes and if greater, the higher handicap player will play down so that the spread is no more than 5. There will be “Fun Golf” on both Saturday and Sunday, Saturday’s event will be on the Oak Glen Course and on Sunday play will be on the Willow Glen Course. Carts and range balls are included in the fees. Guests can also arrange their own tee times on Pine Glen, the par 3 course on property. In order to provide members with flexibility in selection of the events in which they wish to participate, the pricing has been bundled into a tournament package and a “fun golf”
