ELIGIBILITY:

All DWGC members in good standing who joined no less than 60 days prior to the first day of September, and have completed a minimum of four rounds of golf with DWGC between June 1st and September 1st of this year. Players with a USGA Handicap Index over 40.4 will have their index adjusted to the maximum allowed (40.4).

No player can win two Ace of the Month spots.

  1. If a Low Net Ace subsequently wins Low Gross, they become a Low Gross Ace for that month and the next in line for Low Net moves up. For example, Lori Brooks is currently the Low Net Ace for December. Let’s say she wins Low Gross Ace for March. She becomes Low Gross Ace for March and whomever is second place in December for Low Net becomes the Low Net Ace for that month.

RULES OF PLAY : The rules of play for this tournament are governed by the 2024 USGA rules and all local and club rules as outlined on the rules pages in the DWGC Handbook and on this website.

There is no limit on maximum number of strokes per hole. Players who pick up on any hole will be disqualified.

If there is any question during play, the player should play a second ball keep both scores until completion of the hole, and bring the issue to the Rules Committee after the round for a ruling.

Each pairing shall turn in TWO scorecards signed by at least two members of the pairing. Players shall not leave the course until their scorecards are verified by the Tournament Chair.

Ties will be broken using the count back (9, 6, 3, 1) holes method on the last round played.
