Overview
 
The Troon Challenge is a series of amateur golf tournaments held May through July at Troon Golf courses in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada and Texas. Teams of two players compete in Local Qualifier events for a chance to earn a spot at the Troon Challenge Finals. A total of 28 teams will qualify at these events for the 2008 Troon Challenge Finals, August 23-24, 2008 at The Revere Golf Club in Las Vegas, NV.
 
 
Local Event Format
 
The event format is a modified best ball (shamble). Each player hits a tee-shot, the team selects the best tee-shot and each player plays their own ball from that point until it is holed. The lower of the two scores, is the team score for the hole.

 

There will be a Gross and Net Division at each Local Qualifier. Teams must declare which of the two divisions they would like to compete in upon registration. To compete in the Net Division, each team participant must provide a verifiable USGA handicap. 50% of the Handicap Index will be used to calculate the course handicap for players in the Net Division.
