The Caddie-Member
Monday - May 1, 2017

The Mayacama Caddie-Member has quickly become one of the most popular golf tournaments at Mayacama. More than just a golf tournament, the Mayacama Caddie-Member is a celebration of the oldest and most revered relationships in golf...that of the Player and the Caddie! Our Caddie Program at Mayacama is the cornerstone of the foundation on which our Club was founded. We hope that you can join us for this, our 11th celebration of this special bond that exists between our Members and Caddies.

CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT
Four-Ball Stroke Play (One Better Ball of Two Partners) – 18 Holes. In Four-Ball Stroke Play, two competitors (one Member and one Caddie) play as partners, each playing his/her own ball. The lower score of the partners is the score for the hole. If one partner fails to complete play of a hole, there is no penalty.
