[Corrections: Yesterday's explanation of the Stableford format indicated that this will be a net tournament. That is incorrect. This tournament will be gross and net. Also, this is an aggregate format – both balls count.]
Please read all information carefully, and print a copy for your use at the tournament. Since this is a shotgun, there will be no opportunity to explain the rules prior to play. If you have any questions, e-mail or call me now.
