| Question: Do I have to join with someone? |
| Answer: No. Although members may join as a team, it is not necessary. If you join as an individual or a two-some we will pair you up with other members to form a team. Teammates can play together in the same foursome, but they cannot compete for points or the event title. Typically teammates play as a twosome against another twosome from another team. The purpose of this is to maintain the integrity of the field. We always try to put teammates in consecutive tee times in order to allow them to travel together. |
