For FOG Tournament participants, the Tee Bag is one of the day's highlights.
The format for the 33rd Annual Friends of Golf Tournament will be a shotgun start, Modified Team Best Ball, as defined below:
- Each player will hit a tee shot.
- The team captain will select the best tee shot and each player will then play his own ball from that point to the completion of the hole.
- The team score on each hole shall be the one net best ball.
- In the interest of speed of play, a player should pick up when it is clear that his score will not be the net best ball on his team.
- Each player must use at least one tee shot.
- Team ties will be broken by the SCGA system.
- Team prizes for first, second and third in AM and PM flights will be awarded.
