All Games are Scored Net
Stroke Play
The Forest Country Club
How Teams Are Selected
The four Flight A players pick the teams before the trip. Each A player selects one B, one C, and one D player to complete their team.
The Game
Team stroke play. All four players' scores count toward the team total. Your score on any hole is capped at net double bogey — no blowup holes can sink the ship. Lowest combined team total wins the day.
After the Game
The Open System kicks in. The best individual net score in each of Flights B, C, and D gets promoted up one flight. The worst individual net score in each of Flights A, B, and C gets relegated down one flight. Move up or move down — you earn your spot for Day 2.
30/40 Ball
Palmira Golf & Country Club
How Teams Are Selected
After Day 1, the player relegated from Flight A, the player relegated from Flight B, the player relegated from Flight C, and the last-place Flight D player each become captains. They each pick one player from each remaining flight to form their team.
The Game
30/40 Ball — each team of 4 players must select 20 scores per 9 holes to count as their score. You must select which scores to keep after the hole is played but before you tee off on the next hole. Lowest combined team total wins the day.
After the Game
The Open System runs again. Best net score in B moves up to A. Best in C moves up to B. Best in D moves up to C. Worst in A drops to B. Worst in B drops to C. Worst in C drops to D. New flights are set for Day 3.
Stableford
Old Cypress
How Teams Are Selected
Same as Day 2 — the four relegated players from Day 2 become captains and each pick their team.
The Game
Points instead of strokes. All four players earn points on every hole, and the team's points are added together. Highest team total wins. Blow up a hole? It just scores zero — no damage done.
| Double bogey or worse | 0 pts |
| Bogey | 1 pt |
| Par | 2 pts |
| Birdie | 3 pts |
| Eagle | 4 pts |
After the Game
One final round of the Open System. Flights are reshuffled the same way — best scores move up, worst scores move down. Your final flight standing after Day 3 determines which Ryder Cup team you play for on Day 4.
Ryder Cup
Colony Golf & Country Club
How Teams Are Selected
After Day 3 Stableford, Flight B standings decide the Ryder Cup captains. 1st and 4th place B players pair up as one captain team; 2nd and 3rd place B pair up as the other. Each captain pair then picks their A, C, and D players to complete their Ryder Cup roster.
The Game
Net fourball match play — head-to-head. Four matches run at the same time: A flight vs A flight, B vs B, C vs C, D vs D. Win more holes than your opponent to win your match. The team that wins the most matches across all four wins the Ryder Cup.
The Flights
Players are divided into four flights — A, B, C, and D — based on handicap. Flight A has the best players; Flight D has the highest handicaps. There are 4 players per flight, 16 total.
The Teams
Every day, one player from each flight is grouped together to form a team: A + B + C + D. You always have one low-handicapper and one high-handicapper on your side. Teams change each day.
Who Picks Teams
| Day | Who Picks |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | The 4 Flight A players — picked before the trip |
| Day 2 | Relegated A, relegated B, relegated C + last-place D (after Day 1) |
| Day 3 | Relegated A, relegated B, relegated C + last-place D (after Day 2) |
| Day 4 | Flight B captains — set by Day 3 Stableford standings |
What Is It?
After Days 1, 2, and 3, players move up or down between flights based on how they scored that day. Play well and you move up. Play poorly and you drop down. The pressure is on every single hole.
Who Moves
| Result | What Happens |
|---|---|
| ↑ Move Up | Lowest net scorer in Flight B moves to A. Lowest in C moves to B. Lowest in D moves to C. |
| ↓ Move Down | Highest net scorer in Flight A drops to B. Highest in B drops to C. Highest in C drops to D. |
All swaps happen at the same time. Ties are broken by scorecard countback from hole 18 (back 9, back 6, back 3, back 1). No chip-offs.
