The final weekend of the 2nd Annual WA Golf Net Four-Ball Match Play tournament takes place this weekend, September 30-October 2, at Gamble Sands in Brewster, Wash.
- Final Weekend Tee Times– Women’s Field
- Final Weekend Tee Times– Men’s Field
The event, which started earlier this spring, featured a Men’s and Women’s field, each broken up into divisions. The tournament began with Pod Play, teams in each division were broken up into pods of four within each division where they competed against the teams in their pod in a Net Four-Ball match play format. The two teams with the best record from each pod advanced to single-elimination bracket play.
Teams were provided their matchups at the beginning of each round and were required to schedule and play their match on their own time at a course of their choice. Each winning team would report their match results and move down the bracket in a March Madness-like format.
After nearly six-months of competition, just eight men’s and eight women’s teams remain. Quarterfinal matches will take place on Friday, and the winners will advance to the Semifinals on Saturday, with the Final matches to follow on Sunday.
