Welcome to the Third Annual American School Golf Tournament! The sponsors cordially invite the first 128 golfers (32 teams of four) to participate in this fun event at the El Tigre Golf Course.
PARTICIPANTS: All amateur golfers, men and women, with or without handicaps, are invited for this fun event to raise funds for the American School of Puerto Vallarta.
TOURNAMENT FORMAT: The format is a 4-ball scramble. All four golfers hit their individual drives. The best drive is then selected and all four golfers hit their second shot from there. The process continues with all four golfers putting from the location of the best approach shot until one of the four balls is in the cup and the score is recorded.
STARTING TIMES: There will be a 9:00 AM shotgun start from each of the 18 holes. Please arrive at 8:50 AM to your assigned starting hole.
RULES: The tournament will be conducted under the Rules of USGA, the Mexican Federation of Golf and the El Tigre local course rules listed on the scorecard. The Rules committee will be in charge of enforcing all rules. All decisions of the committee will be final.
SCORECARDS: Each team should assign one person, the team captain, to record the team's score on each hole. The tournament committee is responsible for the addition of the scores. The scorecard will be returned to the scoring table immediately upon following play. The captain and the team members testifying the correctness of the score must sign the scorecard.
PACE OF PLAY: It is every player's responsibility to play without undue delay. The Marshall will warn groups that are out of position. If a group receives three warnings, the golf committee will assess 2 penalty strokes to the team.
BREAKING TIES: The lowest team score will break ties in the following manner: first, by the lowest score for the last nine holes, second by the lowest score for the last six holes, third, by the lowest score for the last three holes. If the tie continues, the same procedure will be used for the first nine holes.
SHOES: Soft spike shoes are required of all players.

TROPHIES: Will be awarded to each member of the three winning teams.
