2018 2-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP

 

Location:  Lake Bluff

Date:  August 12

Registration Opens: July 15

TPGL Tournament Director: Rich Smales

 

 

FORMAT

The format is a two man, 18 hole net medal play event – both players scores count to the total - taking place August 12th at Lake Bluff Golf Course.  

 

WHAT'S AT STAKE?

This is the fourth and final TPGL major of the 2018 season.  Excluding the head to head and net average qualifiers, the top 4 money winners of the 4 Majors combined - as defined by merchandise credit - are awarded playoff spots.

 

ELIGIBILITY

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

 

Players can pick their own partners with no handicap restrictions for any given team – i.e. two high handicap players can team together, two lower handicap players can form a team, etc. The idea is to bring back some of the fun rivalries and teams that were a trademark of the event for so long when players were allowed to pick their partner. In addition to signing up on the website, players are asked to submit their team and name of their team via email to Rich Smales, Clarence Mild and Danny Brown.  

 

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 $350.  Gift certificates redeemable at the Arboretum Golf Pro Shop will be awarded to the top 5 team finishers. Payouts are as follows:

• 1st Place Team $150
• 2nd Place Team $80
• 3rd Place Team $60
• 4th Place Team $40
• 5th Place Team $20

 

TIES

In the event the tournament ends in a tie for any of the top 10 places, the TPGL will use the USGA’s recommended tie-breaking method. First, matching cards is used to determine the winner on the basis of the best net score for the last nine holes. If the tying teams have the same net score for the last nine, then we review the last six holes. If still tied, we review the last 3 holes. And, if tied again, we review the 18th hole.

 

RAINOUT

In the event that the round is cancelled due to inclement weather, there is no provision for a tournament make-up date.  The TPGL Committee will determine the best use of the merchandise payouts and will most likely allocate the payouts to other scheduled TPGL events.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Players may use Distance Measuring Devices in all TPGL events.

Non-metal spike policy is in effect.
