Tournament Details
Date: Sunday, October 25, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM Shotgun Start
Team: Four-player team
Format: Two Better Ball
Team Registration
Sign up as a four-player team, or sign up as a two-player team and we will try to pair you with two additional players.
How the Pumpkin Ball Format Works
One player in each foursome will play the designated Pumpkin Ball on each hole. The Pumpkin Ball rotates between players A, B, C and D throughout the round.
For each hole, the Pumpkin Ball player's score is paired with the best score from the other three players to create the team's two-ball total.
For example:
- Hole #1: Player A plays the Pumpkin Ball
- Hole #2: Player B plays the Pumpkin Ball
- Hole #3: Player C plays the Pumpkin Ball
- Hole #4: Player D plays the Pumpkin Ball
The rotation continues throughout the round.
