2018 HEAD TO HEAD MATCHES

 

Location:  Core 5+ Golf Courses

Date:  Season long - May 2018 through September 2018

Registration Opens: 4 weeks prior to each TPGL round

TPGL Scheduling Director: Clarence Mild

 

 

FORMAT

For this competition only, the TPGL will be organized into three divisions based on handicaps.  TPGL players compete in 8 head to head matches against players in their own flight. The schedule (who plays who for a given day) is 100% objective and is based on player availability for that day and the available players’ handicap seeding within their flight. The competition is net stroke play with 1 point awarded to the low score on the front nine, 1 point awarded to the low score on the back nine, and one point awarded to the low score for the 18 holes. The top 4 players (the most points earned) from each of the 3 flights are awarded a playoff spot. 

 

HOW ARE THE MATCHES SCHEDULED?

The schedule (who plays who for a given day) is 100% objective and is based on player availability for that day and the available players’ handicap seeding within their flight. As a general rule of thumb, each player's TPGL schedule will consist of no more than 2 head to head matches in a given month.

 

WHAT'S AT STAKE?

This the first road to the playoffs. The top 4 players (the most points earned) from each of the 3 flights are awarded a playoff spot.

The tournament is open to all 2018 dues-paying members of the TPGL.  

  

STARTING TIMES

Tee times for the Championship will be posted on the TPGL website 48 hours in advance.  

 

CADDIES AND CARTS

Caddies and carts are permissible in all TPGL events - rain or shine unless otherwise instructed.  Players are also allowed to walk and carry or walk and push a cart in all TPGL events.

 

PRIZES

The total purse is $2,880.  Gift certificates redeemable at the Arboretum Golf Pro Shop will be awarded to the winners of each match. Payouts are as follows:

• $20 available for each match won.
• To win the total merchandise associated with the head to head match, a player must earn at least 2 points.
• If both players earn 1 1/2 points each, the merchandise award is split 50-50.
• Purse is based on 36 TPGL members.

 

TIES

In the event a match ends in a tie, players will split the purse and in the standings page, they will each be awarded 1 1/2 points.

 

At the conclusion of the head to head competition, if players are tied in the standings, their "head to head" net average score will be used as the first tie-breaker. The second tie-breaker will be their "season-long" net average score.  The third tie-breaker will be their "money earned" in the four majors.

 

RAINOUT

In the event that a round is cancelled due to inclement weather, the match will be rescheduled.  In a rescheduled date, the opponent of a player might be different than the player that was originally scheduled on the rain-out date due to a player's availability and their seeding.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Players may use Distance Measuring Devices in all TPGL events.

Non-metal spike policy is in effect.
