1. Format of Play: Competition on the New New Peoria System (NNP)

    • Randomly select 12 holes out of 18 holes before the match in front of all players (the maximum score of each Par 3, Par 4 and Par 5 hole for handicap calculation is 5, 7 and 9 respectively).

    • (Sum of the player's gross scores of the 12 selected holes x 1.5 - 72**) x 0.8 = NNP Handicap
      ** the standard course pars

    • The player's gross score of the 18 holes - his/her NNP Handicap = NNP Net Score

    • Should same score takes place, ties will be decided by count-back over the last 9, 6, 3 and the last holes on the card.

    • The team with the lowest gross net score will be the champion.
      (Please fill in the GROSS score of each hole on the team's score card and the Organising Committee will do the calculation for you.)

  2. Rules
    The rules of the Royal & Ancient and the Hong Kong Golf Club apply. The Tournament Director's decision is final and valid.

  3. Longest drive for men / ladies – Holes 4 and 16 (must be on the fairway to be counted)

  4. Closest to the pin – Holes 2, 5, 9, 12, 15 and 17 (must be on the green to be counted)

  7. New Team Prize: 70th Anniversary Prize
    This prize will be awarded to the team with each golfer's total gross score is exactly 70 over the Eden Course's total par (70 for men, 71 for ladies). For example:

    • Team A is formed by 4 male golfers. This team will win this prize only if the team's total gross score is exactly 350, i.e. (70 x 4) + 70 = 350.

    • Team B is formed by 4 female golfers. This team will win this prize only if the team's total gross score is exactly 354, i.e. (71 x 4) + 70 = 354.

    • Team C is formed by 3 male golfers and 1 female golfer. This team will win this prize only if the team's total gross score is exactly 351, i.e. 71 + (70 x 3) = 351.

    • Team D is formed by 2 male golfers and 2 female golfers. This team will win this prize only if the team's total gross score is exactly 352, i.e. 70 + 70 + 71 + 71 = 352.

    • Team E is formed by 1 male golfer and 3 female golfers. This team will win this prize only if the team's total gross score is exactly 353, i.e. 70 + (71 x 3) = 353.

    If no team achieves a total gross score of 350 / 351 / 352 / 353 / 354, the prize will be awarded to the team with the total gross score closest to these numbers, provided that each golfer's score exceeds 70.

  8. New Individual Prize: "70s Shooter"
    This prize will be awarded to the top three golfers scoring in the 70s, with the winners determined by the three lowest scores in that range.
