FORMAT: Individual Chicago Points
-Individuals will each play their own ball and finish out on each hole and cannot take worse than a gross double bogey on any hole. Based on their course handicap, each player will be given a “Quota” number of points to be reached using points (Eagle – 8 pts, Birdie – 4 pts, Par – 2 pts, Bogey - 1pt, Double Bogey or worse – 0 pts) scoring. Players who exceed their “Quota” by the greatest margin in each flight will receive gift card money.
-Players play to gross in this format, but a player’s “quota” points are calculated using 100% of the course handicap (maximum Course Handicap of 36) they would have received in individual stroke play per USGA recommendations. (i.e. 39 - course handicap = player’s quota points)
-An optional skins game is offered for this event in online registration. Fifty percent of the skins’ money will go toward the gross pot, while the other 50 percent will go toward the net pot. For the net pot, all players will receive 100% of their course handicap with a maximum course handicap of 36 applied. If no skins are won outright, the fee is not refunded.
-This event will place players in flights based on their combined indexes. The handicap indexes used for this and all Sr. Series events will be a player’s index from approximately 3-5 days prior to the event date.


RULES/TEES:
-USGA Rules of Golf apply during play.
-For both individual and partner events players will be assigned to different tees based on their gender and division: Men – tees measuring between 5,800 – 6,200 yards for the Senior Division and 5,400 – 5,800 yards for Super Senior Division; Women – tees measuring between 4,700 –5,400 for both divisions. Tee preferences that differ from a player’s tee assignment are allowed if submitted to and approved by Senior Series staff. All tee preferences must be submitted to staff no later than 5 days prior to the event.

KEY NOTES:
-Players MUST be an active NCGA member to participate. NCGA tournaments are open to amateur golfers who are members of a current NCGA member club in good standing. The USGA’s definition of an amateur golfer is the standard of the NCGA. Participants must meet all the eligibility requirements for the event they are entering. Any member who has not established a current numeric handicap index (CI) is ineligible to win prizes or skins.
-All events will require that participants display proper golf etiquette and behaviors. This would include no denim, no cut-off clothing, the removal of hats when inside facility buildings and no foul language. Players could be given further prohibitions as the club sees fit but those will be provided in the player e-mail. The NCGA does have the right to remove anyone for not abiding by these rules at any time. Being removed from property would result in the loss of all funds.
-The NCGA reserves their right to adjust any player’s handicap index for the Senior Series events.
