Modified Pinehurst Event Format

Tournament Chairman Bob Remey has announced that the format for remaining events on the 2016 schedule with the "Ryder Cup" or Alternate Tee Shot/Alternate Shot format have been changed. (The entire schedule may be reviewed online at the schedule page).

The July 19 event is affected by the changes and is now a Modified Pinehurst (2M Team) event.  In this format each player hits a tee shot on each hole. The desired tee shot is selected and the second shot is hit by the player whose tee shot was not selected.  Alternate shot is then played until the ball is holed.
