Three Man Teams:
In the event a team ends up missing one player, the team can play without competing for prize money and players would not be charged $20 for that week. If the players want to compete for prizes they may play as a threesome , they must adhere to the following rules:
-
A&B players must have at least 3 drives each &
-
C or D player must have a minimum of 2 tee shots.
-
A 10 shot tee maximum for any player.
-
A team must continuously rotate the 4th player’s putt when all players are putting on or near a green. The extra putt cannot be made by the same player twice in a row.
No missing player shots are awarded from tee to green.
The team prizes won would be paid at 75% (each player collecting the same amount
they would have received with a full team).
