NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

The National Championship will be held October 26-28, 2009 at Pinehurst Resort, N.C.

Format:

Three rounds (54 holes), two best net balls of four players. Teams of four, three amateurs and one PGA Professional will compete at the National Championship. Each amateur must maintain their USGA handicap.

Courses to be Played at Pinehurst Resort

Round 1: Pinehurst No. 8
Round 2 & 3: Pinehurst No. 2 & No. 4

Application of Handicap

Amateurs will use the lower of either their Local Qualifying Event handicap index, Section Championship handicap index or their current handicap index. Amateurs will receive 75% of their handicap allowance adjusted for the course and tees being played. In calculating the amateur's handicap, the handicap allowance will be multiplied by 75% and rounded up or down (.5 rounds up). Strokes are taken from the men’s and women’s course handicap stroke index. The team must use each player’s score on a minimum of three (3) holes per round.

Handicap Verification

Each amateur must provide their most recent handicap certificate to the team's PGA Professional. The certificate will be submitted at the National Championship prior to play. A team will not be able to participate without these certificates. Amateurs must ensure their individual gross score from the Section Championship has been posted to their handicap index.

Rules and Regulation

The Rules of Golf which govern play are determined by the United States Golf Association and applied by The PGA of America Board of Directors. The Championship is subject to the overall supervision of The Board and the PGA Rules Committee.

Purse & Gift Certificates

PGA Professionals and amateurs will be competing for a combined purse/gift certificates of $200,000. The National Champions will be crowned and trophies will be given to the top three teams.

Entry Fee:

$100 Entry Fee per amateur. All participants will receive a tee gift pack.
