BMMJ golf calendar Aug to Nov, playoffs

25th September
Hari Raya Special – team event Best ball format

Explanation notes
For Hari Raya Special game

1. This is a team event where each team is comprised of two players.

2. Each team will use his BMMJ handicap and cannot used other handicap.

3. Players may invite other golfers from outside the BMMJ group with prior notice given to the Competition Secretary (Hj Zairin) who shall ensure handicap use is the lowest if the player is a member of more than one club.

4. The score will be decided using “Best ball” format so both team members will play as per normal but to determine the team score, the best net score for each hole is used. So for players who have a handicap of 19 for e.g Hj Abd Rahim will have two strokes on an index 1. So if he gets a gross bogey then he has obtained a net birdie score. So if that score is better than his partner’s net score, so the team score is adjudged to be Net Birdie using Hj Abd Rahim’s score for that hole.

For play offs
Option1 – Status Quo
No points reset i.e same as per last 8 months continue until end of season.

Option 2 – FEDEX cup format
Reset points after last major
Rationale
The reset ensures a real shootout from the start of THE TOUR Championship as all 12 players in the field will have a mathematical chance of winning the BMMJ Cup if they are the most consistent in all three tournaments. A win by any of the top five seeds will increase their chance to win the title outright while seeds 6-12 will have an excellent chance of capturing the title if they play consistently in all three tournaments.
