2018 Club Champ

Congratulations to John Maceross for becoming the 2018 Ashrose Golf Club Champion.

John finished 1 up after playing Bob Evans in a single playoff hole at Heritage Hills. Remarkably this is the first time in the 57 year history that a playoff hole was needed in the final championship round.

PARTNERS TOURNAMENT RULES

The format is a two-man partner tournament in which there are three six-hole scoring segments with the best total score for the 18 holes winning the tournament. The formats for the three segments are as follows:

Segment 1 – The first six holes are played as a Captain’s Choice. Each player plays a shot beginning with the tee shot and after each shot the best positional ball is chosen. Each player then plays his ball from the chosen position until a ball is holed. The score for each hole is the score as if one player had scored.

Segment 2 – The second six holes are played as Best Ball. Each player plays the hole separately. The player’s score for the hole is handicapped for that hole (based on his USGA Handicap) and the partner with best net score for that hole has that score entered for the hole.

Segment 3 – The third six holes are played are played as Alternating Shots. Player A tees off and Player B then plays Player A’s ball. Then Player A plays Player B’s ball and so on until the ball is holed. Both partners may tee off on each hole and after the tee shots the decision can be made as to which tee shot to take and then begin the alternate shots. However, each partner’s tee shot must be chosen three times over the six holes so, once a partner’s chosen shots are three, the other partner’s tee shots must be used on the remaining holes. The ball that is played from the tee must be the ball continuously played until it is holed.
