RULES TO BREAK A TIE - There are trophies for Low Team and Low Amateur, so we must determine a winner. We do not have time for a play-off after finishing on Sunday. FOR LOW TEAM, the first tie-breaker is low score on last round played, then next to last, then first round if played. This will determine who receives trophies. All prize monies will be split equally, as usual. FOR LOW AMATEUR, we will apply the same tie-breaker as above except for the prize. We award a set of Mizuno irons plus $250.00 credit in the pro shop. We will be unable to split first, second, etc. FOR LOW PRO AND LOW SENIOR PRO, the winner will be determined the same as above. All prize monies will be divided equally. The committee reserves the right to make further decisions if necessary.
