Overview
The March Matchplay is an individual match play tournament. Players who enter will have a week to post their first round between 3/13 and 3/19. A newsletter will be sent out to all players before the tournament explaining how to join the first round and the course we will be playing. After the first week – a newsletter will be sent out each Monday with the results of the previous week and the information including the course for the next round.
This is a gross tournament so there are no handicaps involved. There are no mulligans allowed in the round – but mulligans will be on in case there are any technical issues. We will be able to check if mulligans were taken so please make sure that all mulligans are approved by a 5i staff member.
