Let the battle begin! Here are a few notes for 14th annual Border Battle between Charleston and Savannah. This is always a really fun event played all in MATCH PLAY. Thank you for attending!
Match play is a scoring system in which a player, or team, earns a point for each hole in which they have bested their opponents. Unlike stroke play, in which the unit of scoring is the total number of strokes taken, match play scoring consists of individual holes won, halved or lost. On each hole, the most that can be gained is one point. Golfers play as normal, counting the strokes taken on a given hole. The golfer with the lowest score on a given hole receives one point. If the golfers tie, then the hole is halved. For both rounds the team/player with the most points at the end of the round receives a point for their team. If the score is all-square after the last hole the teams each receive a half point.
You will know who your doubles partners will be, who you are matched up against, and what hole you will be starting on the morning of the event. Teams were set separately by team captains beforehand and lined up the morning of, to be fair and efficient.
Team SAVANNAH will be on Gray Cards
Team CHARLESTON will be on Blue cards
Please turn in your paper score card at the end of each round. This is how we will tally and double check points.

Holes 8-13 alternate shot – the players alternate shots i.e. player 1 tees off, player 2 takes second shot, player 1 putts. Regardless of who putts out the players alternate driving.
Holes 14-20 best score – each player plays the entire hole separately and the team takes the lowest score.

One player from each team will be matched up and compete in a match play round.
Course rules for the Sarge:
-Please do not go in the water, there are alligators present!
-If you are able to grab your disc with a retriever then you can do that, however, do not use a scraping device on the land. The Sarge is a state protected park.
-Please clean up after yourself. Make sure to throw all trash in the receptacle provided, and make sure to leave your parking area clean. Please do not leave your car running during lunch if parked in the grass.
Park Staff will be present so let’s be on our best behavior and thank the staff when you see them. They do a lot for this course and the disc golf community so let’s thank them as we see them on Saturday!
Bathrooms are close to Hole 9's gold tee, but you can also drive up to the clubhouse.
We have noticed a few copperheads by hole 3 basket the past few weeks. Please be aware snakes and alligators are around.
