Combination Tournament at Linwood Country Club on October 20

At the tournament at Linwood on Thursday, October 20, you will compete in two tournaments simultaneously – the individual JustGolf championship and a men’s or women’s better ball. You will sign up with a partner for the better ball, and your individual score will count towards the championship. Prize money will be awarded for both tournaments.

Both tournaments are stroke play, so the Rules of Golf have no objection to combining them. However, there are a few Rules wrinkles that we have to iron out:

• If you should decide to pick up on a hole, you will continue competing in the better ball tournament but you will be withdrawn from the individual championship.

• The Rules for the individual championship will take precedence. As such, you will be instructed to refrain from asking for or offering advice to your partner. Also, order of play must be strictly observed, most importantly for approach shots to the green and putting – the player furthest from the hole will always hit first.

I’m hoping this double format will double your fun, and that I will get to see all of you at Linwood. I will post the application tomorrow, and will have applications available at the registrar’s table at RiverWinds on Tuesday.

Regards,
Linda
