NCGA Tournament Qualifying for 2008
Qualifying for each NCGA tournament as a member of the Golf Club at Fremont
Park will occur at a designated home and away event as described below. For
those that want to be included in NCGA qualifying, your scores with handicap
at each designated GCFP event will also be used as NCGA qualifying scores,
but adjusted according to eligibility requirements.
Zone Championship: Two, 2-Person teams qualify to represent us as our 4-person team
at a regional event. Qualifying for Zone representation occurs during the
March home
and away events. We will use tournament scores in these events to establish the
best-ball scores for each team at each course. The total cumulative score in will
determine qualifiers. See requirements below for more info.
Four-Ball Net: 2-Person better ball teams. Qualifying to represent us at a sectional event
occurs during the future home and away events, During
June. We will use tournament
scores in these events to establish the best-ball scores for each team at each course.
The total cumulative score in June will determine qualifiers. See requirements below for
more info.
Seniors: The May events will be qualifiers for teams with players aged 55 or
older as of September 18, 2008. Handicap limit 40.4
Net Amateur: Three individuals. Qualifying to represent us at a sectional event occurs at
July away venue and August Home. We will use tournament scores in these events to

Tie Breakers. Tie breakers will be determined by home scores in this order...best score,
best final nine, best final six, best final three, best final hole, coin toss.
Cancelled tournaments. As long as one of the two designated events is played, that
