Chapter Championship Awards
When competing in the Chapter Championship qualifier for the EWGA Championship series, the following winners advance to the Semi-Final round of competition:
Low Gross Score & Low Net Score for each Stroke Play Flight
(5 flights: Championship, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th)
Low Net Score for Competitive Scramble
Awards will also be given for 2nd & 3rd place winners in each flight and in competitive scramble.
Additionally, two new recognition of performance awards have been added by EWGA for 2016. These awards are not based on flight, but are based on performance against other competitors in the age group. At registration time, you must indicate whether you wish to be recognized in this category. These two award categories are separate from and in addition to the awards by flight. So a Senior or Super Senior can both win their competition flight and one of the Senior awards.
Senior Award: Low Gross Score for age group 55-69
Super Senior Award: Low Gross Score for age group 70+
