On all three rounds counting toward individual net, there will be closest to the pin contest on all par 3s. Each worth $25.00 to the closest (Day 1A hole 18 worth $50).

Day 1B Team Game

Stroke Play Event. Two members from every team will be paired against two players from the opposing team. The first 9 holes will be played as a two-man scramble. The second 9 holes will be played as alternate shot. Team with the total fewest strokes wins - this means you need to play out the hole even if you have already lost the hole to the opposing team. $30 per player. (To be clear: Each 9 holes will count as a point for overall team game as a match play event so we are playing both match and stroke play for this round.)
