How Events Work

Players can request to play with friends or they will be paired randomly based on location. Players can also request tee times, early or late if they need too.

Prizes

Each week the leading gross and net players will be awarded prizes and vouchers at the host facility. The more players in the field the greater the prize pool. There will also be a side skins game for players to compete in if they wish. The winner of the year long money race will claim the WFAT grand prize.

Format

In order to help maintain both pace of play and help us monitor and adjust handicaps the primary format for individual competitions will be a Stableford points game. The Stableford or “quota” game works like this:

Players will be given a quota of points to make based off their handicap. For instance, if a player is a 7 handicap they will need to make 29 points with 36 being par.

Points are made on a hole by hole basis. Once a player can no longer make bogey or better they are free to pick up on the hole as there are no negative points.

Players quotas will be adjusted by the Tour after each round. If a player is 3 short of his required points or more the player goes down 1 point. If a player is 2 better than his quota he goes up 1 point and if a player betters his quota by 5 points or more the player goes up 2 points.

Age

If you are 60 years of age or older you will be given the option of playing from the forward tees (roughly 6000-6100 yards).

If you are younger than 60 years of age, you can expect to play the golf course between 6400-6600 yards depending on which golf course we are playing. The WFAT will not be separating results by age. The age disadvantage is rectified by the option of the different tee box. With everybody in the same division the skins purse and the prize pool will be maximized.

Points Breakdown

To calculate the number of points a player needs to get to achieve a net even score, his/her handicap should be deducted from 36. For example, a player with a handicap of 5 would need to amass 36-5=31 points to get an even net score.
