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 or the UP. The Chutty Cup is named after the American businessmen Chad Pizur and Eric (Knutty) Natwick, who founded the tournament.
Matches
Day one (round 1) consists of 17 matches
Round 1: 18 hole Best ball/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) consists of 68 matches.
Round 2: 18 hole 2v2 Scramble/Chapman Alternate 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 3: Front 9 2v2 Scramble — worth 1 point. Back 9 Singles — worth 2 points. Should the two sides be tied after the match, each side earns half of the points.
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.
Four Ball / Best Ball – Match Play (Nassau)
Each team member plays their own ball throughout the round. After each hole, the lowest score from each team is the score that counts for that hole.
In the event of a tie between teams for the lowest total score, the tiebreaker will be determined by the secondary scores (i.e., the other team member’s score on each hole). If the secondary scores are also tied, then the hole is considered a tie.
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.
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.
