This Strokes on a Rope event uses the "String & Scissors" handicapping method.  Instead of receiving a number of handicap strokes to make a net score, the Strokes-on-a-Rope tournament issues a length of string to each player based on their handicap index (MTHI).  As the players work their way around the course, they may move their ball to improve their lie or escape trouble but they must cut off the same amount of string.  When there is no string left, then the player is on his/her own to the completion of the round.

Because a true gross score cannot be determined, the Strokes-on-a-Rope does not update a player's handicap index.

Handicap strokes converted to a length of string (1 foot for each stroke).  A player’s ball may be moved at any time after the tee shot in order to improve the lie.  Whatever amount the ball is moved, the same length of string is cut off and discarded.  The ball movement can be in any direction and can be moved from any hazard (ball must be reachable).  When the string is completely exhausted, then the player can no longer move his/her ball.  The ball can be moved directly to the cup.  String cannot be used in any playoff.

Low score wins.

Famous advice:  "Don't go for it."

Please bring your own scissors and do not leave string on the course.
