SUBJ: THE THIRD ANNUAL SEVENTH COAST GUARD DISTRICT ADMIRAL'S CUP
GOLF TOURNAMENT.
1. YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND THE THIRD ANNUAL SEVENTH
COAST GUARD DISTRICT ADMIRAL'S CUP GOLF TOURNAMENT SPONSORED BY ISC
MIAMI MWR, AT WALT DISNEY WORLD, LAKE BUENA VISTA AND OSPREY RIDGE
GOLF COURSES IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA ON MAY 21, 22, AND 23, 2009.

BUENA VISTA GOLF COURSE.  FRIDAY: INDIVIDUAL PLAY W/0800 SHOTGUN

START AT OSPREY RIDGE GOLF COURSE.
B. FOR THE INDIVIDUAL PLAY PORTION OF THE TOURNAMENT, WE WILL BE
USING THE PEORIA HANDICAP SCORING SYSTEM.  WITH THIS SYSTEM, THE
COURSE DIRECTOR SECRETLY SELECTS A PAR-3 HOLE, A PAR-5 HOLE AND
FOUR PAR-4 HOLES FROM AN 18-HOLE COURSE.  THE PAR-4S SHOULD BE
REPRESENTATIVE IN DIFFICULTY WITH TWO CHOSEN FROM THE FRONT NINE
AND TWO FROM THE BACK NINE.  THE SCORER CALCULATES THE HANDICAP BY
ADDING THE PLAYER'S STROKES OVER PAR ON THE SIX SELECTED HOLES AND
MULTIPLYING THAT NUMBER BY 2.8.  THIS WILL BECOME THE GOLFER'S
HANDICAP TO BE DEDUCTED FROM HIS GROSS SCORE.  FURTHERMORE, NO MORE
THAN A MAXIMUM OF THREE OVER PAR ON THE PAR-3 AND PAR-4S, AND FOUR
OVER PAR ON THE PAR-5 IS ALLOWED.  THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN TESTED AND
IS FAIR FOR BOTH EXPERIENCED AND UNEXPERIENCED GOLFERS ALIKE,
ALLOWING EVERYONE PARTICIPATING AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO WIN THE
ADMIRAL'S CUP CHAMPIONSHIP. THE PEORIA HANDICAP SYSTEM WILL ONLY BE
USED FOR THE INDIVIDUAL PLAY PORTION OF THE TOURNAMENT.  THE
SCRAMBLE WILL BE SCRATCH.  TO WIN THE ADMIRAL'S CUP, THE PERSON
WITH THE LOWEST POINT TOTAL AFTER ALL THREE EVENTS WILL BE NAMED
CHAMPION.  POINTS WILL BE AWARDED AFTER EACH EVENT AS FOLLOWS: 1-PT
FOR FIRST PLACE, 2-PTS FOR SECOND PLACE, AND SO ON.  ADDITIONALLY,
THE LOW GROSS PLAYER WILL ALSO BE RECOGNIZED.
