Hittin Links Golf Tour presents the 4th Annual Battle of the Bridges Match Play Championship!  This is a special season long event and open to ALL registered members of the Tour where we will try to find the best Match Player on Tour!

How does it work?  After registration closes, we will review the roster and then we set the bracket.  Based on previous seasons feedback, we will set Bracket matchups based on home locations of players to keep the first and second round matches as close together as possible within 50 miles of one another.  We do our best to limit the amount of driving players have to do as we have some members up to 200 miles apart.

Players will have until the end of each month to complete their match against their opponent.   Players must work with each other to decide where and when to play their match.  The Tour is NOT responsible for helping setup the matches between players. Players should use the Player Information sheet at the bottom of the page to contact their matchups OR use the Hittin Links discord to coordinate larger group meetups to complete match ups.

Here’s how the matches will play out…

    • Players will pick a course and will play traditional Match Play Format with their opponent.  This is a NET event, so players must calculate their handicaps using the USGA calculator to figure out what strokes should be given. To make it easy to calculate if Player A is a 10 handicap and Player B is  24 handicap, then take the difference of 14.  This means that Player B will get 1 stroke on the 14 hardest holes over player A.
    • Please refer to USGA rules here for a breakdown of Match Play rules: Learn More
    • Players have one month to complete their match else they forfeit from the championship
    • If a player cannot compete in their match, they forfeit and the opponent will move on to the next round.

Players must report back their result to the Commish before the next matchups are set via support@hittinlinks.com

The 2 players that make it to the finals will announce their course of play to the whole crew and players can elect to come watch the finale!  Ideally we would also have the players playing for 3rd place to join the championship match as well. The Champion gets an excemption into the Tour Championship, big points, bigger tour credits and gets to claim the Match play throne for one year.
