Tournament Format: Doubles (BYOP - Bring Your Own Partner)

Round 1: Best shot- you and your partner will both throw a shot, and play from the shot of the best of the 2. you will continue to play from the the best shot until the hole is completed by one player on your doubles team.

Round 2: Alternate Shot- You and your partner will have to alternate every shot during the entirety of the round. Example: Player 1 throws the drive, player 2 then would have to take the second shot, if the second shot results in completing the hole, then player 1 would have to throw the Tee shot on the following hole. Now if player 2 misses the 2nd shot, player 1 will have to take the 3rd shot. (whichever player completes the hole, the other player will throw the following Tee shot) you will play this way for the entirety of the round.

Course(s): We will be playing Brock Park Longs and Shorts. There may be an additional 3-6 Holes added to the event to support a larger playing field. The course will have OB, a Featured Hole including a Triple Mando, and one or two island holes. (Expect Caddy Book by 6/12/2025)
