| The event that spawned the
Mulligan Tour, the Memorial
Tournament was played annually
at the Willow Metropark golf
course. First played in
1995, the 2-person scramble format
yields a pair of
winners. The tournament
became an official Mulligan Tour
event in 2000 and is regarded as one
of the Mulligan Tour's major
championships. The
Memorial Tournament moved to Gateway
GC in Romulus in 2006.
The first "Grand Slam" event of
the season is highlighted by a
series of closest-to-the-pin
challenges (each par-3), long
drive challenges (men and ladies)
and a fewest team putts
challenge. Additionally, all
participants get a hot dog, chips,
and soda for lunch.
Earnings at the Memorial
tournament are shown on the
Overall Money Standings
2 man scramble
competition
Each
partner tees off.
The better drive is
selected.
Each partner hits a 2nd
shot from there. Again
the better shot is selected
and each partner hits a 3rd
shot from there.
This process continues until
the ball is holed out.
Men tee off from gold
tees, Sr. Men from White and
Ladies tee off
from green tees.
Low net score wins.
This year we have a new
Handicap Formula
- Simply the team
handicap will be 45% of the
lower handicap and 25% of
the higher handicap
- The two
numbers are added together
and then rounded.
- For each team
member we will calculate
their course handicap based
on the tees they will be
playing.
- Regular Tees,
Sr Tees and Women Tees
- These are not
rounded.
- The
Percentages are used
- Two numbers
added together and then
rounded.
When
each players handicap is
calculated the 2 person team
handicap is calculated as
follows:
Player
A – handicap is 12
Player
B – handicap is 10
Team
Handicap is:
Player
B - 10 x .45 = 4.5
Player
A - 12 x .25 = 3
3 +
4.5 = 7.5 which is rounded to
8
Player
A – handicap is 7
Player
B – Handicap is 11
Team
Handicap is:
Player
A – 7 x .45 = 3.15
Player B - 11 x .25 = 2.75
3.15
+ 2.75 = 5.9 which is rounded
to 6
Note:
1)
Mixed teams are acceptable.
2)
Individual
handicap differentials cannot be
calculated, therefore, there is
no update to individual’s MTHI
from this tournament.
3) Individual player
statistics are not recorded for
this tournament.
4)
Amateur teams (invited
non-Mulligan Tour players) can
play for “low amateur” honors.
No handicap strokes are
granted to amateur teams.
Food
(hot dog, chips, soda) and
prizes immediately following
the conclusion of the
tournament at the course.
Mulligan Tour “pros”
may play as an amateur with a
non-tour player (see note #4
above).
