November 10 & 11, 2016

Mayacama Golf Club cordially invites you to participate in the 15th Annual Professional-Member Invitational. If you are a member of another golf club, we encourage you to invite the Golf Professional from that club to play as your partner. If not, Mayacama Golf Club will be pleased to pair our Members with a local Golf Professional. Our Professional-Member Invitational is the last of our "majors" for the year and it has become one of our most popular events at the Club.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT
Four-Ball Stroke Play – 36 Holes. In Four-Ball Stroke Play, two players play as partners, each playing his/her own ball. The lower score for the partners is the score for the hole. If one partner fails to complete the play of a hole, there is no penalty.

MEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP FLIGHT
In the Championship Flight, players will play at scratch from the Back Tee Markers.

MAYACAMA FLIGHT
In the Mayacama Flight, amateurs will be allotted 90% of their Course Handicaps. Members are required to have an established current USGA Handicap Index to compete for net prizes in The Mayacama Flight. Maximum Course Handicap is 24 strokes for men and 36 strokes for women. Section 3-5 of NCGA Handicap Manual will be used (players competing from different tees). The Tournament Committee will be using your current USGA Handicap Index as of November 1, 2016.
