The shootout will be set up as a par 3 on the 18th hole, teams will play a true alternate shot format There will be no strokes and three different distances based on a total individual handicap. Players with handicaps 0-9 play from 175 yards, handicaps 10-19 play from 160 yards and handicaps 20 or higher play from 145 yards. The team with the lowest score will be the shootout winner In the event of a tie, we will go back and repeat the process. You must alternate which player tees off in the event of a playoff. If there is no winner after 3 rounds there will be a chip off One player from each team will chip, closest to the pin will be the winner If needed, a putt off will determine 2nd and 3rd place.
The Putting Contest and Swing 75 are open to all players and will take place Thursday evening following golf
