As one of the most popular events of the season, the NCGT Ryder Cup is a one-day 36 hole Match Play Team Event.
Players are split into 2 teams of equal size and handicaps.
Team BLACK vs Team RED
We will be playing on ALL four courses. Two players from each team will be playing as a foursome. We are playing 4 matches with 9 holes (if needed) of Best Ball and 9 holes of Alternate shot in the morning rounds. In the afternoon rounds, teams will play 9 holes of Scramble followed by 9 holes of Singles.
Each match won is worth one point and a tied match is worth a half a point. There are no extra holes or playoffs to be played. So every forseome will have 5 points up for grabs. The team with the most points, will win bragging rights for the year and THE NCGT RYDER CUP
If teams are tied after 36 holes, Team BLACK retain the Cup as defending 2011 Champions.
Best Ball - Both players play as ususal and take the best score with handicaps of the two against the other team's best score.
