Alpine Golf & Sports Club
Designed by Ronald M. Garl and opened in 1996 this magnificent championship golf course was once again been selected to host Asia’s premier golf tournament, The Johnnie Walker Classic in January 2006. Alpine golf course is truly magnificent, laid out over flat terrain Alpine is a challenge for the amateur and professional golfer alike. All of the holes are particularly well planned with a good arrangement of water hazards and magnificently maintained fairways. In the Millennium year 2000 Alpine played host to the Johnnie Walker Classic, won by Tiger Woods, it’s really not surprising that Alpine was chosen once more to host Asia’s premier golfing event.

Tournament Format
The tournament will be played to the stableford format, stableford format allows players that have returned a bad score at any given hole still to maintain a genuine interest in the tournament.
Thirteen flights will tee-off consecutively from holes 1 and 10 at Alpine Golf & Sports Club, the winner of the tournament will be the player who has recorded the highest number of stableford points over the 18 holes played, if there is a tie the winner will be calculated on a count-back.
Normally at tournaments of this size I would recommend that as well as First, Second and Third prizes for the stableford tournament, there should be a nearest the pin hole and a longest drive hole on the front and back nine. The nearest the pin holes would be the shortest par 3’s and the longest drives at the straightest holes on the front and back nine.
To encourage synergy between the team partners I recommend that a team prize should be awarded to the group playing together who have the lowest net score over the 18 holes played, this will be based on the best ball net score recorded at each hole with full handicaps.
Tournament Administration
Golfasian will take care of all tournament organization and administration prior to and during the event, the client has to provide a list of players names and their golf handicaps one week prior to the event, advise of player groupings and teams 1-7 (Front Nine) and 6-13 (Back Nine) one week prior to the event.
Once we have all the information we will prepare a tournament roster of all the participating players in our USGA golf software programme, this software will provide tournament results stableford and team results net or points within 30 minutes of the tournament end.
Golfasian will provide a tournament briefing document that will be given to all players on arrival at the course, this document will advise of the tournament format and rules, the players tee off times, playing partners and the hole at which his group will start. The document will also advise of the holes for the Nearest the Pin and Longest Drive prize holes.
Golfasian will be responsible for the provision of markers for Nearest the Pin and Longest Drive holes. Scorecards will be exchanged at the first tee and each player will be responsible for recording their partners gross score, at the end of the round cards should be signed and countersigned then passed to the tournament operations desk located in the clubhouse to have their stableford points recorded.
