Molson NB Four Ball Championship

Maximum 128 Teams. If greater than 128 team entries are received a Moose Draw will be held on June 6th, 2008 at the NBGA office to determine the eligible teams. The names of the successful teams will be published in the provincial newspapers and on the tournament Web site.

In the event the number of entries exceeds the field size, the following teams will be entered in the competition:
The last five (5) winning teams (2003-2007);
The Top Ten (10) Gross teams from 2007;
The Top Net Team from 2007;
provided they meet the eligibility requirements of the tournament and they return a completed entry form and appropriate payment to the NBGA office prior to the entry deadline date.

36-hole Four Ball championship. The event is played in 18-hole stipulated rounds over two consecutive days. The event is both a Gross and Net Championship:
Gross Scores: Both partners play their own balls and record a gross score for each hole. The team then counts their best gross score on each hole to make up their 18-hole gross score.
Net Scores: Both partners record their own net score for each hole by subtracting their gross score from any applicable handicap strokes. The team counts their best net score on each hole to make up their 18-hole net score.

The low gross team will be presented the Ralph Costello Shield and the low net team will be presented the Dr. Douglas Brewer Shield. Additional prizes to be determined.

The winning Gross & Net teams will be invited guests of the New Brunswick Golf Association at the Association's Annual Louisbourg Investments Golf Awards Dinner scheduled for the Memramcook Institute (Memramcook, NB) on Saturday, October 25th, 2008.
