FORM OF PLAY

The Championship will be decided by Stroke Play in a 2-day event over 36 holes to be played at SVGC. The player with the lowest gross score over 36 holes will be the Cyprus Senior Men’s Amateur Open Champion. In the event of a tie for the Championship, there will be an immediate “sudden death” play-off over holes 1, 8 and 9. In the event of a tie for all other prizes (see paragraph 10 below), the following procedures will be applied in sequence to decide the result: Best score over last 18, 9, 6, 3, 2, 1 holes respectively; the same count-back procedure will be applied for the first day scores. This is a handicap qualifying competition and players may request CGF for a copy their score cards to send to their home clubs, national Associations or Unions.

Pace of play will be monitored and penalised at the discretion of the Course Marshal. CGF provides “ball spotters” at most holes to help speed of play. Please help us to avoid slow play and at all times abide by the directives of the Course Marshal. Please play a provisional ball if you are so directed by the tee Marshal.
