| 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.
Rule Change for 2012: The ball can be moved directly to the cup.
String cannot be used in any playoff.
Low
score wins.
