4. The maximum team combined handicap to enter is 29 and 3 flights will be created based on combined team handicap (Flight A, Flight B, Flight C). A 2018 Active USGA GHIN handicap is needed to validate your handicap (with a minimum of 5 scores posted within the last 10 months). NOTE: If the handicap difference between playing partner handicaps is 8.0 or more, that team will be moved UP 1 flight and if one playing partner is a 3.9 or less handicap, that team will automatically be in the A flight. The maximum difference between player handicaps is 12.0. Need a GHIN handicap? CLICK HERE to purchase then post 5 past rounds before JUNE 1 to qualify.

5. For each round, teams will have a 15 day window to complete their match.

Winning teams will receive TCG gift cards as prize money (based on total prize pool). TCG credits can be used for TCG events, 2nd Swing gift cards or VISA gift card redemption.

7. Dates for each round to be completed are:

Round 1: June 1 – June 15
