Thursday, July 16, 2026 – Two Person Best Ball

Each player will play their own ball on each hole until the ball is holed. Teams will have two scores on each hole and the lowest score (both gross and net) will be used for scoring.

Players will record gross scores only and player’s handicaps will be determined by taking 80% of a golfers playing handicap at the course from the tee box to which they are assigned.

Friday, July 17, 2026 – Captains Choice / Scramble

Each team member will tee off and the best shot is selected. Both team members will hit from that spot and this process is continued until the ball is holed.

Players will record gross scores only and the teams handicap will be determined by taking 30% of the combined playing handicap for the two players.

Saturday, July 18, 2026 – Modified Alternate Shot

Each team member will tee off and the best shot is selected. Whichever player’s tee shot was not selected will play the second shot. Players will alternate hitting each shot until the ball is holed.

Players will record gross scores only and the teams handicap will be determined by taking 40% of the combined playing handicap for the two players.

It is STRONGLY recommended that each player have an active and updated GHIN # / Handicap ID. Players will be flighted using their current handicap at the time all handicaps are secured for the event.

Teams will be flighted in the competition based upon the team members handicap Indexes combined together. For example a 6.3 index and a 19.2 index will be flighted as a 25.5 team Index.

If you do not already have a valid Handicap ID you will want to reach out to your USGA State or Allied Golf Association to obtain one.  You can find your association by CLICKING HERE.

Please note it is the responsibility of the individual player to provide an accurate Handicap ID to tournament staff on their registration form, or call to have it added after one has been secured.

All handicaps will be monitored by the tournament committee and are subject to change at any time prior to the conclusion of the event.

Rounds 1 & 2 will be tee times from 8:00am-10:00am. Round 3 will be a shotgun start beginning at 9:00am.

You may request to be in the same flight as another team for travel purposes, but all players will have to play down to the lowest age division and lowest combined team handicap of the teams involved in the request.

For example: If TEAM 1 has a 32.4 handicap and wanted to play with TEAM 2 that has a 19.2 handicap, then TEAM 1 would be flighted with each player being equally adjusted to reach a team handicap of 19.2. Once flighting is complete, TEAM 1 will have their handicaps restored to the highest threshold within that flight (not to exceed their original handicaps) in order to give them as much of their original handicap as possible.

All flight together requests must be made by members of both teams involved and must be made in writing prior to the committee flighting the event. Flight together request can be emailed to info@familygolfweek.com. All flight together requests will be final once processed and flighting has been completed.

*Teams from the Family Division CANNOT request to be flighted with teams from the Father Son Divisions.

If you have any questions about the flight together process, please feel free to give us a call at 888-233-3519 to discuss in further detail.
