Tin Whistle Scoring Format
The Boulder Memorial is designed to be fun and welcoming for golfers of all skill levels. This 2-person team event allows both players to play their own ball throughout the round. Each golfer receives two mulligans that may be used at any point during the round. Rather than focusing solely on traditional stroke play scoring, teams earn points based on their performance on each hole:
• Bogey = 1 point
• Par = 3 points
• Birdie = 5 points
• Eagle = 7 points
• Double Eagle = 9 points
Simply enter your scores into the Golf Genius app, and all scoring calculations will be completed automatically.
Tournament Payouts
Winning teams will receive gift certificates to the PWGC Pro Shop in both Net and Gross divisions:
**In order to maintain the integrity of the tournament, the Boulder Memorial Golf Tournament committee has decided that a verified League Handicap card will be required at the time of check in. The handicap must be able to be verified by the committee in order to be eligible for tournament payouts and participation in the Calcutta. If the handicap is found to be inaccurate, it will be changed (without notice) before tournament scoring is completed. If you are unable to provide this documentation you may still play in the tournament and be eligible for pin prizes. Teams will qualify for the highest paying finish, but will not be paid in both Net/Gross divisions.
** Calcutta payout is separate.
The tournament is limited to 36 teams on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is $200 per team, and the deadline to sign up is July 22.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available. For more information call (605) 882-5284, ext. 308.
