You may book practice rounds in advance for $55 by calling each golf course directly. Players have the option to pay with your gift card upon arrival.

The Father Son tournament will be comprised of five divisions: Parent Child, Seasoned Senior, Super Senior, Senior, and National, with approximately 24 flights.

• National Division participants (59 and under) will play the nearest tee box to 6,200 yds.
• Senior Division participants (60+) will play the nearest tee box to 5,800 yds.
• Super Senior Division participants (70+) will play the nearest tee box to 5,400 yds.
• Seasoned Senior Division participants (80+) will play the shortest tee box on the golf course.
• Junior participants (7-11 years old) will play the shortest tee box on the golf course.*
• Women will play approx 5,000 yards or the default ladies tee box.

*The oldest team player will determine your division in the tournament unless you want to compete in the National Division. All teams that want to compete for the National Championship will require BOTH players to play from the Standard tees regardless of age with exception to juniors under 12. You may drop down from a Senior Division to the National Division on your handicap submission form. There is not a specific junior division. The eldest players age will determine the division.

The Parent Child Team Classic will feature one division broken down by team handicap as needed based on participation.

Thursday, July 18, 2024 – Two Person Better Ball

Each player plays their own ball. Each team will have two scores per hole. The counting score will be the team’s best score per hole.

Handicaps will be determined by taking 80% of a player’s tournament handicap. All other USGA and local rules will apply.

Friday, July 19, 2024 – Two Person Captains Choice

After best shot is selected by the team members, the other ball may be placed with in six inches of where the chosen ball lay, not nearer the hole and not on the putting green. On the putting green the other ball must be placed on the spot where the chosen ball lay.

Handicaps have been determined by combining both tournament handicaps and taking 30% of that total. All other USGA and local rules will apply.

Saturday, July 20, 2024 – Modified Alternate Shot

Both players will hit a tee shot and select a ball to play. Players will then alternate shots from the tee shot forward until the ball is holed. One score for each hole to determine the team score.

Handicaps have been determined by combining both tournament handicaps and taking 40% of that total. All other USGA and local rules will apply.

*Players will only record gross scores on each hole for every format and the tournament committee will handle all net score adjustments.

Teams will be flighted for competition based upon the team’s handicap total.

All participants MUST have an active and updated GHIN/WHS handicap. Players will be flighted using the current index displayed on their GHIN/WHS handicap profile. 

If you do not already have an active and up to date GHIN/WHS handicap you will want to reach out to your USGA Allied Golf Association found HERE to establish one prior to June.

This is for the benefit of the entire field. Please note that it is the responsibility of individual participants to provide their handicap information/ form to the tournament committee.

Handicap verification forms will be e-mailed. Please make sure to have your handicap verification form returned in a timely manner. Teams that fail to have these forms in by the deadline may be penalized.

The tournament committee will make every attempt to assist you in this process. If you or your playing partner do not have an established GHIN/WHS handicap, you MUST establish one to be eligible for tournament prizes.

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding handicaps, (800) 506-7511.

All handicaps are actively monitored by the Tournament Committee and are subject to change at any time.

If you have any further questions, please contact us by clicking HERE.

Tee times will run from 7:45AM to 10:00AM on a double tee for rounds 1 and 2, and Saturdays final round will be an 8:45AM shotgun start.

You may request to play in the same flight as another team, but all players will have to play down to the lowest team handicap of the players involved.

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 of that flight (not to exceed their original handicaps) in order to give them as much of their original handicap as possible (If the threshold was 24.2, then each TEAM 1 member would receive half of the 5.0 index points and play at a team handicap of 24.2 for the event). Requesting to be in the same flight as a friend DOES NOT mean you will be placed in the same grouping.

The tournament committee requires all Flight Together requests to be made on the handicap submission form.  No changes will be made to a player’s flight once the course assignments are announced.

Parent-Child teams CANNOT request to be flighted on the same course as Father-Son teams.
