54 members entered this tournament with the goal of winning their specific flight. There were 4 flights. Handicap differentials are within 2-3 strokes in the middle flights, but there will always be larger gaps in the 1st and last flights.

Course was in excellent shape.  The greens were fairly fast, with a few challenging pin placements.

Once again, GHIN Indexes were used for this tournament because all the members who had entered had a higher tournament index calculated when compared to their GHIN Index. The Board agreed that the lower of the two indexes was to be used.

The RSMC tries to award prize money to one third of the flight. Therefore, you will notice that the first and second flight paid out 5 places and the third and fourth flight paid out 4 places.
