How the Tour
Works
Most tournaments are 18-hole
events played on Weekend mornings. Some
tournaments have afternoon starts. Most
tournaments are stroke play, but some have
different playing formats. You are not obligated to play
in all of the tournaments and you only pay for
the one’s that you participate. Register
for as many or as few of the tournaments as you
wish, but be sure to complete your registration
by the deadlines noted. All
entries received before the deadline are
guaranteed entry into the tournament. “Initial” registration may be
done in person or by e-mail to the Tour office,
however, registration is not “complete” until
the entry fee has been received by the Tour
office. Links are provided on the Tournament
pages for signing up and for paying with the
Tour online wallet system. The cost of entering the
tournaments takes care of the greens fees. Most
events require carts and this is included in the
cost. (If
carts are not required, then players may walk or
may purchase power carts at their expense at the
time of the event). Once registered, your entry
will be confirmed by e-mail and then all you
have to do is show up ready to play. Tee
times will be posted on-line at www.themulligantour.com
on Thursday or Friday before the tournament. A pairings / tee sheet will be
on the website and sent to each player for each
tournament – verifying your start time, tee
number, playing format, and any on-course
challenges (long drive, closest-to-the-pin,
etc.). Register at any time before the
deadline. Registration for all of the
tournaments can begin by March 21st or as early
as the web page is available. Register for a tournament in
one of two ways: Use the
handicap system at Mulligantour.golfclub.net And then mail check (payable to
“Mulligan Tour Holdings") for the entry fee to: Chuck
Withey All players earn a Mulligan
Tour Handicap Index (MTHI). A
temporary MTHI is achieved after 3 events and a
mature MTHI is attained after playing in 10
events. The
MTHI is based solely on the scoring record in
Mulligan Tour events. The player’s membership fees
fund the tournament purses and the costs of the
trophies, and other prizes. Courses, entry fees, or dates
are subject to change if there are conflicts
with the golf course. See the Player's Handbook for advice and help with procedures
The tournaments There are regional divisions
with several regular season tournaments in each
and a division championship. There are
other tournaments that are independent of the
divisions (i.e. the majors). Members
do not formally join one division. In
fact, members may play in any tournament
regardless of division. Note
however, that playing mainly in one division
will improve that player’s standing on that
division’s Money Standings. During each tournament data is
recorded on the different playing statistics. The
stats are maintained and published during the
tour season. Driving Accuracy (FH) – A percentage of
fairways hit per number of fairway holes.
A fairway is hit when a tee shot comes to
rest on the fairway. Greens in Regulation (GiR) – A percentage of
greens hit per 18 holes.
A green is hit when a player reaches the
putting surface: - in 3 strokes or less on a par
5 hole - in 2 strokes or less on a par
4 hole - with the tee shot on a par 3
hole Putting (P) – Average number of putts
required per 18 holes
A putt is any stroke taken when the ball
is on the putting surface (the fringe is not
included) Strokes Gained Putting -
Your putts vs. the field average (-1.4 means you
were 1.4 strokes better than the field average) Net scoring average – Average net score for 18
holes. Net eagles – Average number of net eagles
per 18 holes (triangle). Net birdies – Average number of net
birdies per 18 holes (circle). For each tournament, the
scorecards are provided to players already
formatted to document the statistics. Also
the scorecards are already prepared with the
“strokes given” on each hole. A typical scorecard might look
like this: (Example of a player that gets
23 strokes for the tournament - 12 on the front
and 11 on the back)
The net birdies on hole #13 and #18 should be circled and the net eagle on #16 triangled.
