2022 Idle Hour Classic Format It is with great pleasure to welcome you to the playing of the 2022 Idle Hour Classic. It is our goal to continue the great tradition of this tournament. If we can assist you in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask anyone from our professional staff. We wish your team the best of luck and hope you enjoy your three days playing The Classic. The field is comprised of 8 flights of six teams and one flight of 8 teams. Each flight is based on the total USGA handicap index of the member and guest. Flights are determined by teams with equal or close to equal total indices. Each team will play 5 nine-hole matches within its flight. Three rounds will be played on Friday and the remaining two on Saturday.
This is a point tournament based on the team’s net better ball match against their opponent’s net better ball. Scoring for each 9-hole match: •
2 points for winning a hole
•
1 point for tying a hole
•
2 points for winning a match
•
1 point for tying a match
•
0 points for losing a hole or match
12 points for a forfeited match
All matches must play a complete 9 holes in order that all points can be awarded. Scorecards need to be signed by the marker and attested by the player and returned to the scoring area. Once the scorecard is returned to the scoring area it is deemed to be official. Live Scoring is not official. Teeing Ground:
The Classic field will play from the Yellow Pine Log unless players are 50 years of age and older in which case, these senior players may play from the White Pine Log. It is also the player’s responsibility to inform the head professional of any discrepancy with his handicap. Failure to do so could lead to penalty or possible disqualification
Shoot-Out and Overall Winner:
The team with the most points in each flight after 45 holes is the flight winner. All ties within the flights will be determined by matching Saturday’s scorecard starting on hole #1. The team with the most points wins. The 9 flight winners and a Wild Card team will participate in a sudden death shoot-out to determine this year’s champions. These 10 teams will be divided into two waves of 5 teams. The 5 lower handicap flights will play hole #10 and the remaining 5 flights will play #1. Both waves will play a Sudden Death Better Ball to determine the final two teams to play for the championship on hole #18. together in a better ball format at full handicap. If there is a tie in determining the low teams in each wave, then a chip off will determine the outcome of the hole. Both team members chip while the other teams have their backs to the players. The team that chips the closest to the hole determines the winner and will continue on to #18. If there is a tie between the final two teams on hole #18, then a chip off will determine the 2022 Classic Champions. The Wild Card team is decided by the team with the most 2nd Day points that didn’t win their flight. Rules of Play: •

Speed of Play Reminder: Since this is a better ball match play event, if one of the partners is struggling and surely out of the hole, please have him pick up in order to help keep play moving. This is a large field of 24 foursomes so play will be a little slow. If all teams keep this in mind, play should be able to keep moving at an acceptable pace. If our Head Golf Professional is hovering around your group while you’re playing take this a message that your group is behind pace. A potential penalty may be levied. Severe Weather Conditions: In the event of severe weather during play, the Pro Shop will sound the “Severe Weather Warning Siren”. Players must mark the position of his ball and seek shelter immediately. When the severe weather has left the area, the Pro Shop will announce the resumption of play.
