Tournament Format & Rules

  • Each event will be a 54 Hole Stableford tournament. Play will be off Full handicap. The tournaments are for men only.
  • Ladies.  In the first year of the Tour we will not be able to offer Ladies the possibility of playing in the main tour event.  However if Ladies wish to play we will be able to accommodate them either before or after the main event.  If there are 12 or more we will organise a separate tournament for them with prizes.  Hopefully in Year 2 and on we will be able to hold a Ladies Tour alongside the men's tour.  
  • There will also be a fun warm up 4 ball team Am-Am on the first day.  One low handicap (Captain), 2 medium handicaps and 1 Higher Handicap in each team.  Two scores to count on Par 5's, 3 scores to count on Par 4's and all four to count on Par 3's.  A great way to get to know your fellow competitors in a lighthearted competition.
  • In the first 2 rounds players will be drawn to play with others of a similar handicap. In the final round the draw will be made according to position in the tournament.  The leaders will go out last.
  • Where possible play will be from tee boxes giving a course length of between 6,400  and 6,600 yds.
  • On arrival at the club, before the first round, handicaps will be checked.  Your handicap must be up to date from a bona fide golf club, affiliated society or from www.truehandicap.com. The maximum handicap allowed will be 21.  If your handicap is higher than 21 you may still play but you will have to play off 21.
  • If you do not yet possess a handicap you may still enter the event but you will not be eligible for prizes. Your four rounds will count towards your handicap.
  • At each event we will run an OPTIONAL sweep of $2.50 per round ($10 for the tournament) which will be paid out 50% to the winner of each day, 30% to the runner-up and 20% to 3rd place.  The winning Am Am team will take all.
  • There will be nearest the pin and longest drive prizes each day and prizes for overall positions down to a minimum of 6th place.
  • Tour Points will be awarded to the Top 10 finishers with 10 Points to 1st place down to 1 point for 10th place.  If a tournament attracts 12 players or less then only even numbers will be awarded. 10 to the winner, 8 to 2nd, 6 to 3rd etc.
  • Tour Points are accumulated up to 10 points. Further points do not bring further credits unless you win another event outright in which case you will be invited to bring a friend the finals.
  • If you qualify for the Grand Finals in Bali your return flight from Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore will be paid. If you are not flying from one of these airports then we will offer an equivalent credit to put towards your flight. You will have a half share of a twin room on B & B (you can upgrade to single use for a supplement), free transfers and golf inc caddy and cart. No other expenses will be paid.
  • Play is governed by the R & A Rules of golf. We will not tolerate rules disputes on the course. If there is any doubt as to appropriate action 2 balls must be played and a ruling sought after the round.
