Eligibility

You must have a numeric index on the June hpGA index report not to exceed 36.4 (men) and 40.4 (women).  Contestants must be age 55 or older by September 14, 2009.

Format

Four-Ball Net (Two-Person Better Ball).  Play will be 90% (men) and 95% (women) of the course handicap using a maximum current index of 18.4 for calculation.  All members with indexes of 18.5 and above are eligible but must play to a maximum index of 18.4.  Course handicaps for women will be adjusted accordingly.  If partners' handicaps differ by more than eight strokes the team can still play, but there will be an additional 10% reduction applied to their course handicaps.  The player's June  index will be used for hpGA qualifying.

An hpGA club official can substitute players prior to Sectional Qualifying.  No substitutions are allowed for teams that qualify to go to the Championship.
