• DGV golf tournament rules apply as well as local course rules and special provisions by the association to combat slow play.
• Every participant must adhere to golf etiquette and course rules.
• For net scoring, the Double Peoria system by New New Belia is used for calculating handicaps and net points: Total points – Handicap (New New Belia) = Net points. Handicap: Sum of points from 12 randomly selected holes before the tournament *1.5 – Standard par for 18 holes *0.8.
• Special provisions against slow play: To ensure an appropriate pace of play, we will measure the time for submitting scorecards. If a group submits their scorecard more than 30 minutes after the previous group, their result will be annulled. If the following group has more players than the previous one, the time increases by 10 minutes.
Prize Categories:
• Individual Prizes: Overall winners men and women separately; net points are divided into two groups according to handicap, with first two places per group;
