ABOUT THE NCGA Mixed Team

First played in 2005, the NCGA Mixed Championship is a two- person handicap event for male/female NCGA members. A team needs to qualify for this championship by placing among the top 56 teams on the Mixed Team Series Points List.

FORMAT: Chapman (Mixed Team) - 36 Holes. In this format, two competitors play as partners as one side. Both players on a side tee off from their respective tees. Then Player A plays Player B's drive, and vice-versa. Players then select the better of the second shots, and from that point play alternate shot until the ball is holed. Flights will be determined by combining the Handicap Index of both players on the team. Team Handicaps will be computed by combining 60% of the lower Course Handicap and 40% of the higher Course Handicap.
