PALMETTO GOLF TOUR

Tournament Purse & Championship Award



 Payout Information


PLAYERS MAY CHOOSE CASH, GIFT CARD OF YOUR CHOICE, or VISA CARD!!
 
If player wants to stay within the guidelines of the USGA's Amateur Status we will pay winning players with Gift Card if they want to protect their status. PAG Tour Purses will vary as determined by the number of players in each tournament. No single award will exceed $750.00 for amateurs protecting their Amateur Status. If player does not care about his amateur status he may except cash.

We encourage players to bring along other players to these events (see discount for recruiting new players). Obviously, the more players that take part each week, the bigger the purses and special games will pay. The purse will be adjusted in the case where we have less or more players than listed below.

TOURNAMENT PAYOUTS 

Places are paid based on 2 players making up a Flight. We will pay 1 place for 5 players or less in a flight.  With 6 to 8 players in a flight, that flight would pay 2 places. With 9 to 11 players in a flight, that flight would pay 3 places and so on in your flight. The money will come from the flights with fewer players to pay more in the flights with more players. This is only fair when a flight has more players than other flights to pay more places in those flights. The winners of each flight will recieve the same amount, then the other places will be adjusted by the number of players in the flight.  If a Flight has just 1 player that player must back in flight and give shots. If player is a C Flight player, they move back to D and add 6 shots to their score. They will get 1st place points in their flight. This will also allow for the remaining flights to get paid  more.  
 
Thank You For Your Support! Hopefully we will grow to 40 to 60 players per tournament and have more than 2 players in each flight and we won't ever have to drop players back in flight for the tournament. So lets please go out and get some more players and take money off the cost of your round! The more players you recruit the less you have to pay at each tournament. (See Player Discounts on Home Page)

2 SIDE GAMES
CLOSEST TO THE PIN & SKINS GAME! 
When we have 25 players or less, all flights will be competing together for Skins and Closest to the Pin Games.
When we go over 25 players we will have 2 groups that will compete in the special games.
Group 1: A  & B Flights
Group 2: C, & D Flights
When we go over 50 players we will try to have 4 Groups when there are enough players in each Flight.
Tour Director will decide breakdown at each tournament.
Group 1: A Flight
Group 2: B Flight
Group 3: C Flight
Group 4: D Flight
 
SENIOR FLIGHTS
HOPE TO HAVE ENOUGH SENIORS TO DO EACH FLIGHT SEPARATE. BEING FIRST YEAR WE WILL ADJUST AS WE PLAY.
 
The size of the pots will be determined by number of players in each group. 
This should allow for some nice size payouts in both Skins and CTP contests.

CLOSEST TO THE PIN GAME
Cost for Closest to Pin Contest  $5.00. 2 chances in each group. All money 100% paid back. 
 
SKINS GAME:
 Player who gets the only BIRDIE or EAGLE on a hole in their group wins hole, pars do not count. All birdies and eagles should be circled on scorecard.  2 Birdies or 2 Eagles on a hole cancels the hole. Cost is $10.00. All money 100% paid back.


  Championship Points Race
POINTS:
Players will earn points at each tournament by how they place in their flight. Each flight will have its own championship race. If you tie, you will receive the same amount as the players you tied. Except first place.  Example: A player shoots an 85 and so do you - you finish tied for third,  so you both would split third and fourth place points. If there is a tie for first place, we will play a hole or holes until we have  winner. (If time allows)  If darkness comes we will decide winner by scorecard playoff using #1 handicap hole, then #2 and so on.  Then the player who wins the tie receives the 100 points, with the others receiving second place points by themselves.
The Points will be awarded as follows. We will count each players best 6 rounds out of 10 rounds to determine each flights champions for the Fall League.
1st - 100     4th - 80      7th - 65       10th - 50     13th - 35      16th - 20
2nd - 90      5th - 75      8th - 60       11th - 45     14th - 30      17th - 15
3rd - 85       6th - 70      9th - 55       12th - 40     15th - 25     18th and below - 10
CHAMPIONSHIP  PAYOUT
Each Flight Champion will recieve the Gold Cup with their name on it, and $100.00.
Second place - $50 and Third $25 Gift Card
When or if we average 40 players per round we will up the payout.
