Arizona Women's Golf Association

LOCAL STATE MEDALLION TOURNAMENTS

A. Competition shall be open to AWGA members on the member’s course on Play Day and will consist of two (2) best gross and two (2) best net 18-hole rounds out of a designated four (4) rounds. Players need not participate in all four (4) rounds to be eligible. Determining the winner on the basis of the best two (2) rounds out of four (4) is intended to give players the maximum opportunity to produce two (2) good scores, not to eliminate those players who cannot play all four (4) rounds. The “Niners” competition follows the same format as stated above with the exception that 9-hole rounds will be played. The AWGA recommends that all four (4) rounds be played on the same course. All rounds shall be posted as “T” scores.

B. Disqualification from one (1) round of the tournament does not disqualify the player from the tournament.

C. Players may participate in each AWGA member club competition of which she is a member.

D. Should handicaps change during the play of the four stipulated rounds, or a playoff if necessary, the handicap in effect at the time each round is played shall be used.

E. In the event of a tie, the Committee has three options which shall be announced prior to the first day of play:

1) Hold an 18 hole playoff (or, in the case of a 9 hole tournament, a 9 Hole playoff) within two (2) weeks

2) Hold a sudden death playoff within two weeks

3) Use the USGA recommended tie breaker procedure

F. The maximum handicap index of 40.4 shall be used, as specified in the USGA Handicap Manual. In the case of a 9 Hole club, the players shall use the maximum handicap index of 20.2. Players may “play down” to that index, if necessary.

1) The State Representative of each member club shall conduct this tournament. Medallions will be distributed to each participating member club.

2) No participant may win both the low gross and the low net awards. Gross will take precedence over net.
