2025 INFO

🏌️ How It Works
- When: Play any time after 2:00 PM on Mondays (tee times required).
- Format: Individual play (no teams). Your full score counts each week.
- Who You Play With: You must play with at least one other league member—no solo rounds.
- Handicaps:
  - Returning players: your handicap is already set.
  - New players: use 80% of gross score until 3 rounds are completed.
- Scoring: Net scores (gross – handicap) determine weekly standings.
- Points: FedEx Cup–style points awarded weekly. Everyone earns points!
- Tee Boxes:
  - Men – White tees
  - Seniors 68+ – Senior tees
  - Women – Red tees
- Weekly Fun: Closest-to-the-Pin prizes on both par 3s.
💵 Fees & Payments
- Greens Fees: $20 per week (paid in the clubhouse).
- League Fee: $100 one-time fee, due on Sept. 8.
  - Covers: weekly CTP prizes, end-of-season luncheon, and prize pool.
  - Note: No more weekly $10 prize collection—everything is included upfront!
On Week 1 (Sept. 8), please bring $120 total ($100 league fee + $20 greens). After that, it’s just $20 greens each week.
🎁 Prizes & Leaderboard

🚫 Play Fair!
Palmira Fall Tour is all about fun and good competition. Please respect the game and each other:
- No mulligans, breakfast balls, or “practice swings.”
- Putts must drop—no gimmies, even from 5 feet.
- Play your ball honestly (lost balls count, no “swaps” in the tall grass).
Remember: this isn’t the PGA Tour—but honesty keeps it fun for everyone.
