Teams:

• Each team will consist of three (3) or four (4) amateur golfers over the age of twenty-one (21).
• Only teams with verifiable handicaps will be entered into both the net & gross divisions, but will only be permitted to win in that division in which they place the highest.
• All handicaps will be verified at the golf course. Players must provide updated documentation such as a GHIN card, letter from a PRO or recognized league handicap. All handicaps are subject to review by the Tournament Director.
• All amateur teams are entered into the Gross division.
• Professional Players may play but are not eligible (and make their team not eligible) to compete in either the gross or net divisions.
• Violation of eligibility rules, whether discovered prior to, during or post event will cause the violating team to be disqalified from the tournament competiton and prevent that team from advancing.

The format and rules presented below are for guidance and that all rule decisions are made at the local events by the Tournament Director.

General Rules:

• All Playboy Golf decisions under the direction of The Tournament Director are final.
• The course Pro and the Tournament Director shall determine which tees players will tee off from.
• For four (4) player teams, each team must use at least two (2) drives from each player.
• Teams consisting of three (3) players will be permitted to make up the 4th shot. But you cannot hit 2 shots in a row and you must rotate the 4th shot equally with each player. 
• Team consisting of three (3) players, must use four (4)drives from each player.
• Teams will be allowed to move the ball one club length from the spot that the team is hitting from, but may not move it closer to the hole from a hazard or from the ruff to the fairway.
• In order to avoid scoring conflicts, teams will play in groups of 8 (two teams) and switch scorecards or there will be marshals on the golf course to monitor scores. Each team of 3 or 4 players will play the entire round together and sign each others score card at the end of the round verifying the score of the team is accurate. In the rare case when the golf course will not allow this format, we will provide marshals on the course to verify scores.
• USA ONLY- Local Tournaments - To ensure speed of play:
  • There will be no bogeys on all par 4’s and par 5’s. When your team misses your birdie opportunity, please pick-up and record a par. On the par 3’s, when your team misses a par opportunity, please pick-up and record a bogey.

Net division handicap formula:

• Each team may have no more than a total two players with handicaps under ten (10) and no more than one player with a handicap of five (5) or under.
• Eighteen (18) will be the maximum allowable handicap in the scoring formula. EX: A player with a 32 handcap must play down to a 18 handicap. 
• All handicaps will be verified as described in the format section above. If you do not have a verifiable handicap, you will be given a zero handicap.
• Scoring Formula: Add up each team members handicap and then divide them by twelve (12). That number becomes your team handicap.
• If a team consists of only three (3) players, add up the handicaps and divide by nine (9).
• NOTE: THE MAXIMUM TEAM HANDICAP IS 6 STROKES.

Gross division will not be handicapped:

• Every eligible team is entered in the Gross division.
• There is no restriction on handicaps in the Gross division.
• Professional are not permitted to compete in the event.
