Format

This year we will be playing all 3 days on The Champ course! This is the best of the best! That said, I promise the committee will be throwing in some wrinkles to make it feel like 3 total different golf courses! The format for the event has not changed. We will have two man teams on Friday with individual quota point games on Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday - The Champ Course - 8:30 A.M. Shotgun Individual Quota Point - Money divided by total number of plus points.

Course Yardage

Back by popular demand, we are playing two sets of tees once again this year. In order to qualify for the forward tees you must fit the following criteria: Player must be 55 years of age or older and have a handicap of 18 or higher; or 60 years of age or older and have a handicap of 14 or higher; or 65 years of age or older and have a handicap of 10 or higher. The forward tees will play from approximately 6,100 yards while the traditional Ralph Cup tees will remain around 6,500 yards.

Additional Items

* First time players will be frozen for the first day only, at plus 4 for team results and plus 6 for overall championship. Adjustments will be made using full quota achieved.

*The abandonment of any round, or no show will disqualify you from the tournament and could lead to possible suspension from the Ralph Cup.

*Pace of Play – Course rangers will be monitoring pace of play during the event. If your group is out of position, the entire group will first be warned. If the group continues to be out of position the entire group will be assessed a 2 point penalty.

*The committee reserves to right to make all final rules/tournament decisions.
