Hacker's Tour Tournament Information

• Entry is open to male golfers aged 21 and over with a verified handicap of 28 or less.
• The Tour uses a Modified Stableford points system. Each player's quota is determined by subtracting their handicap from 54.

  • Bogey: 2 points
  • Par: 3 points
  • Birdie: 5 points
  • Eagle: 7 points
  • Double eagle (albatross) or hole-in-one: 9 points
• The field is organized into flights, typically comprising 14 to 25 players each. Players compete within their own flight for both the main tournament purse and the skins competition.

• Players participating in their first event are subject to a potential quota adjustment between Saturday and Sunday's rounds, as determined and communicated by the Tour Director.
• First-time participants may join their flight’s skins game but are not eligible for the New Sheriff or the Sunday Tournament competitions.
• A first-time participant may not finish higher than third in their flight, regardless of overall points.
• Eligibility for the hole-in-one prize is granted if dues have been paid.
• These restrictions apply only to the player’s first event; they are fully lifted thereafter.

• Annual Tour membership is $50, running from December through November. Membership includes Player of the Year and other top-10 trophies, $5 into the hole-in-one pot, and a year-end banquet held each December.
• Monthly event fees for the 2018 season range from $120 to $190, covering two days of golf, cart, range balls, and tournament prize fund.
• An optional $30 buy-in grants access to both days’ skins game, the Sunday tournament, the New Sheriff (overall points competition), and closest-to-the-pin prizes on all par 3s.

• Payouts are in cash.
• Flight payouts:
  • 1st place: 40% of flight purse
  • 2nd place: 30%
  • 3rd place: 20%
  • 4th place: 10%
• $25 from each entry funds the flight purse. (E.g., 20 players = $500; 1st = $200, 2nd = $150, 3rd = $100, 4th = $50.)
• The optional package includes:
  • Entry to skins for both days
  • Sunday competition: Most points above quota on Sunday wins 50% of the purse; 2nd and 3rd receive 30% and 20% respectively
  • Overall (New Sheriff): Top three combined over-quota scores for both days; purse split 50%-30%-20%
  • Closest-to-the-pin prizes for all par 3s

This format blends competitive play with opportunities for all players to win prizes throughout the event, regardless of their performance in earlier rounds.
