Before registering, please check your team’s assigned golf course for the day as the field will be divided into two groups.

All participants are required to register at least 1 hour before the Shotgun start at Highlands and Midlands.
For Highlands, last shuttle to respective holes will be at 7:45 am. There will be another shotgun to signify end of play.
At the start of every hole, each player hits a tee shot and one of the two shots is selected. Through the green, the selected ball can be lifted, cleaned and placed within one scorecard length from its original spot, and the second ball must be placed within one scorecard length of the selected ball provided that the ball must be placed not nearer the hole, as that of the chosen ball. This process is repeated until play of the hole is completed. On the green, the second ball must be placed within one putter head of the selected ball, not nearer the hole. Penalty for Breach of any of these special rules is 2 strokes for the team. Players are cautioned not to putt-through unless both players have already played their shots. The team is considered to have holed-out if the ball has already gone in the hole and no further stroke will be permitted.
The difference between the handicaps of the partners must not exceed 8 STROKES. In case the handicap difference exceeds 8 strokes, the higher handicap will be adjusted to meet the maximum 8 strokes difference.
Each player needs to submit his/her official index from WHS as of February 2023. If a player has more than one index, the lower index should be submitted. Those members who wish to join but have no Official Club Handicap may submit their lowest certified handicap index from other clubs.
