The World Gutty Championship
The World Gutty Championship is a match play tournament that will be restricted to 32 players with SoHG handicaps (a minimum of five scores within the last six months), divided into two competitive divisions.
The format is to be a round-robin set of five 9-hole matches on Saturday and Sunday. A point will be awarded for each hole won (a half point for a tie) cumulative in these matches. The top four players in each division will compete on Sunday afternoon for top honors.
Equipment is restricted to pre-1905, SoHG-approved clubs (smooth-face irons and splice-neck woods) and the use of McIntyre “Park” line-cut or bramble balls.
Period attire is required for all contestants.
The stymie rule will be in effect.
