SCORECARDS: You will be assigned a scorecard to keep score of a player in your group. Scorecards will not be exchanged at the end of the round. Scores can be verified verbally among the players in the group after the round and only the Marker has to sign the card before it is turned in. It is encouraged that all competitors go home immediately after finishing their round. There should be no gathering of players on the golf course property. There will not be a scoreboard on site. All scores, skins and closest to the pin winners will be posted on the GKGA  website.

The winner will be determined by a card matchback using the USGA method of low back nine, followed by low last six holes, followed by low last three holes, followed by scores on individual holes working backwards from the 18^th hole.
