Format & rules
One competition, one podium
Everyone competes on a single Stableford leaderboard using each flight’s scoring basis. Net scoring uses WHS course handicap at 95%. Scratchers and Sandbaggers without an official index use the Dirty Peoria calculation. Your Handicap Index sets how you play — it is not a separate competition.
How you play
Handicap Index 10.1–20.0
Sandbaggers
Stroke play, scored net.
Handicap Index 20.1 and up
Scramblers
2-person scramble, scored gross. You may instead elect during registration to play your own ball net with a playing handicap capped at 20.
Rules note
- Everyone plays from the Blue tees (Men's Blue 70.4/132, par 73).
- All scores — own-ball and scramble alike — feed one Stableford leaderboard using each flight’s gross or net scoring basis.
- Players with a Handicap Index of 20.1 and up choose at registration between 2-person scramble play (gross) and own-ball play (net, with a playing handicap capped at 20).
