How it Works

The Chutty Cup is an annual men’s golf competition between teams from or with ties to Wisconsin. The competition is contested every year with the venue alternating between courses in southeast Wisconsin. The Chutty Cup is named after the American businessmen Chad Pizur and Eric (Knutty) Natwick who founded the tournament.

Matches

Day one (round 1) consist of 18 matches

Round 1: 18 hole Total Combined Score/Scramble — worth 3 points. 1 point for winning the front, 1 point for winning the back, and 1 point for winning the match. Should the two sides be tied after the match, each side earns half of the points.

Day two (rounds 2, 3, 4) consist of  81 matches.

Round 2: 9 hole Singles — worth 1 point. Should the two sides be tied after the match, each side earns half of the points.

Round 3: 18 hole 2v2 Scramble/Chapman Alternative Shot — 1 point for winning the front, 1 point for winning the back, and 1 point for winning the match. Should the two sides be tied after the match, each side earns half of the points.

Round 4: 18 hole 4v4 scramble — each hole is worth 1 point.

Claiming the Cup

The team with the most points at the end of round 4 wins the Chutty Cup outright. In case of a draw, the winning team will be decided by a sudden-death playoff of the 18th hole, with one player from each team. If the hole is tied, the next player up is selected.

Formats

Scramble - Match Play (Nassau)

Each member tees off and the team selects the best shot. Each golfer will then hit their ball from the chose spot and proceed likewise until the lowest score for the hole is achieved.

Total Combined Score (Nassau)

Each team member plays their own ball throughout the round. After each hole, the scores from each team member are added together and the team with the lowest score wins the hole.

Note:  The max score for each team member is double par.

Chapman Alternate Shot - Match Play (Nassau)

Both golfers on each side hit drives; a shot is selected, and from there the two partners play alternate shot into the hole.

Match Play (Nassau)

Match play is a form of play where a player (or players) plays directly against an opponent (or opponents) in a head-to-head match. You win a hole by completing it in the fewest number of strokes, and you win a match when you are winning by more holes than remain to be played.

Nassau

Nassau is a type of match in golf that is essentially three separate matches. You receive one point for winning the front nine (holes 1–9), one point for winning the back nine (holes 10–18), and one point for winning the total 18 holes.

Closest to the Pin

On Saturday there will be a closest to the pin competition. (Hole: 18)

Important Rules to Note

After Choosing a Shot (Scramble Only)

Players are allowed to improve their lie by one club length to the green, except hazards. In cases the team’s best shot falls on a hazard such as sand or water, they are forced to play from the location without moving. This means a player cannot enjoy the one club length advantage when the ball dropped in a hazard.

Concession

Unlike stroke play, players don’t have to complete each hole in match play. If a player concedes a stroke – almost always a putt – to his opponent, the opponent picks up his ball, takes the score he would have made on the next stroke and moves on to the next hole. Your opponent(s) must be the one to concede the stroke.

Lost Balls / OB

On any lost balls or out of bounds hits we will play the lateral hazard rule. For any questions on this see Chad Pizur or Eric Natwick. You and your opponent(s) must confirm the drop zone.

Mulligans

In order to receive a mulligan you can shotgun a beer or take a shot of Fireball. One mulligan per 18 holes. Video evidence must be shared on WhatsApp.

Total Combined Score (Double Par Max - Round 1 Only)

When scoring the 1st round, the max score for each team member is double par.
