CLUB & RACQUET CHALLENGE
Sports fans have long debated which skills make a true champion. Some say it is the poise and precision of the golfer. Others argue that it's the agility and reflexes of the tennis player.
The Club and Racquet Challenge combines two of the world's most popular individual sports.
In this 'open' event all competitors play off scratch. At the golf men play from the Championship tees and ladies play from the forward tees.
The tennis doubles is contested on a 'first to 35 points' basis. Points won are divided by seven with each seven points representing one golf hole. Service is rotated after five serves. The tennis portion in this round of the Club and Racquet Challenge is therefore worth five points to the winning pair and proportionately less to the losing pair.
On the Golf Course a "Canadian Fours" format will be played. To win one point at golf the pair must win the hole outright.
The score from the golf match will be added to the score from the tennis match to find the winning pair.
