The team must be manned by two golfers. All individual participants can join the team category whose winner will be determined by the accumulative scores of the two members.
Trophies will be given to the champions, first and second runners up in both the individual and team categories. For the team winners, each member will also get a trophy.
The SHS Alumni participants will be vying for the perpetual trophy which will go the person with the best score or the lowest net or the overall champion. The winner’s name will be etched on the trophy alongside the names of the previous winners.
