In the event a team member cancels, the Pairings Chair will do everything possible to complete teams by rearranging tee times of players. 2-Team Games, in particular, may result in a single player, who may play their own game. The player will not be eligible for prizes without a partner. If a 4-person team is missing a player, either a “Ghost” or “Blind Draw” will complete the team.
Blind Draw – Slips of paper with names of all players in the flight of the absent member are placed together, and a name is drawn. That player's score is used in place of the missing member's score.
Ghost – Each member takes a turn for the missing player – Example: Player #1 plays hole #1 for the missing member; Player #2 plays hole #2 for the missing member; Player #3 playes hole #3 for the missing member. Continue to rotate through the 9 holes.
