*FLX debut

ABSOLUTELY STACKED

FLX Tour officials remind participants that the “35/15” handicap rule will be in effect for this tournament. Read this article from last year if you need a refresher on how all that works out.

Since the 35/15 rule equalizes all pairing possibilities, the field will not be split into two hats based on handicap for the team drawing (like the upcoming Genesee Invitiational will be). Every name will be drawn randomly from the same pool so any pro can be paird with any pro.

On handicaps, the cutoff for 35/15 will be the Wednesday before the tournament (July 24). Until then, keep on juicing!

Teams and tee times will be drawn live on Discord Friday July 12 at 6 p.m. Tune in for the live action!

FLX Tour officials entry will be consistent with this year’s Grand Open — $20 per person, or $40 per team. Payouts will be as follows:

  • 1st place — $300 ($150 for each teammate)
  • 2nd place — $150 ($75 for each teammate)
  • 3rd place — $100 ($50 for each teammate)
  • Closest to the pin challenge — $100 (officially awarded to one player, but that pro can choose to chop with teammate if they wish to do so).

As is tradition, breakfast balls will be available for purchase on holes 1 & 10 for $5 each. Tour officials encourage pros interested in purchasing breakfast balls to pay in advance with their entry fee payment to make altering payouts at the end easier than the chaos of paper and pen with the gallery of 18. Not that we’re speaking from experiences of getting 29 venmos for $5 over a few hours.
