2026 District Match Schedule

The Championship Match

• The two teams with the best record from each division will enter the finals.
• Six players represent each team and compete in order of handicap.
• To be eligible, a player must have competed in at least one regular team match.
• Format: an individual 3-point match played head-to-head simultaneously.
• Tee off in reverse order of handicap.
• A grand total of 54 points can be won by a team.

• If teams are tied, compare the 6 head-to-head scorecards (front / back / total point) for players 1–6.
• If still tied, the team with the most points on the back nine in the head-to-head comparison wins.
• If still tied, the team with the best won/loss record in regulation play is champion.

Yellow Ball

• Limited to 8 players per club (two teams of four).

Yellow Ball Plus One — Format, Strategy & Scoring

• Only the yellow ball plus the low net of the other three balls count each hole.
• Two players use the yellow ball on five holes each; two players use it on four holes each.
• Handicap strategy matters — consider assigning the yellow ball to the player best suited for the hole difficulty / stroke allocation.
• On tough holes where nobody gets strokes (e.g., a hard par 3), the low handicap player may be best on the yellow ball.
• The yellow ball must be used when it is your turn to play.

Special Rules

• If the yellow ball is lost, out of bounds, or in the water, the team is disqualified if it loses both yellow balls.
• If the team still has its second yellow ball, the ball may be retrieved and put back into play with a penalty from water or OB.
• If both yellow balls are lost, the team is out.
