Course Information:
There have been several new trees planted. If staked or have drain pipe around them, may get relief if they interfere with stance or swing.

We have removed many trees on the front and back and have some fresh dirt put into hole, these are ground under repair. There may also be some wood chips and sticks left from tree removal. You get free relief from those as well if you can’t remove them.

The sectional/district team champion, runner-up, and third place team will advance to the district/state competition. At no time would a fourth team advance to district or state competition. Please refer to the postseason manual for tiebreaker information.
If there is a tie for team total, we will use 5th player score, if still a tie, 6th player score. If tie remains - there will be a three hole playoff for top 4 players on hole to be determined before the start of play as announced at coaches meeting.

The top 2 individual scores overall (plus ties) from non-qualifying teams will advance to State.
If there is a tie for medalist, there will be a playoff on a sudden death playoff hole, sudden death hole and schedule will be determined prior to start of play and announced at coaches meeting.
