CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT AND SCORING
The Pro-Assistant Championship is a 36-hole competition.
Round one will be a 2:00 pm shotgun start with a Scramble format.
Round two will be an 8:00 am shotgun start with a Modified Chapman Alternate-Shot format.
Modified Chapman Alternate-shot format: players hit tee-shots; both players hit their partner’s ball for their second shot, and then chooses which ball to play, alternating until holing out. Par threes will be played somewhat differently, as you must select your ball to play after the tee shot. Round 2 will be a Scramble format. Both players hit tee shots, pick the best shot, and then both players hit again-continuing this process until the ball is holed out.
Scorecards should be returned to the PGA of BC immediately after completion of play.
TOURNAMENT DRAW
The draw will be finalized on Friday, July 17th and can be found in the Tournaments & Events section of www.pgabc.org
