June 9
Copley Country Club
Morrisville, Vt.
This annual event of the Vermont Hickory Golf Association is an 18-hole competition between two-person teams played over the very scenic Copley Country Club.
Play will be conducted with all teams playing in the same flight without reference to handicaps. Tees appropriate to age or gender of players to be used accordingly. Vermont hickory players have found that the great levelling factor is the alternate shot format. The overall champion will be decided by sudden-death shootout following play, foursomes format, with the winning team playing against ties or, in the event of no ties, the first-place team competing against the second-place team.
The tournament will be played in the Scotch Foursome format. In Scotch foursomes, both players on a side tee off. Players A and B each hit a drive, the better of the two drives is selected, and then A and B play alternate shot until the ball is holed. Who hits the second shot? The player whose drive was not selected. If A’s drive is the one the team decides to use, then B plays the second stroke.
Women are encouraged to form or join teams, either as all women or co-ed, teams. Women will compete from the forward tees. In the case of a coed team, her partner will compete from the tee appropriate to his age.
