How the Tour Works
Most
tournaments are 18-hole events played on Saturday mornings with
starting times around 8:00am. Some tournaments have afternoon
starts of 1:00pm or later.
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 by phone or e-mail to the league office,
however, registration is not “complete” until the entry fee has
been received by the league office. The
cost of entering the tournaments takes care of the greens fees.
Some courses 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
a few days before the tournament. A
pairings / tee sheet will be in the clubhouse at 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 April 1st. Register for a tournament by sending an e-mail to the Mulligan Tour LLC at erik@themulligantour.com And then mail check (payable to “The Mulligan Tour, LLC”)
for the entry fee to: The Mulligan Tour LLC 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 6 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) 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.
