Unique Feature: The course layout was adjusted in 2024 to include two par 5s and a drivable par 4 on the back nine to enhance the Modified Stableford format.
2024 Winner Nick Dunlap is back to defend his title & this event is the only that uses the MODIFIED STABLEFORD format which best described as-
*The Stableford format encourages aggressive play, awarding the following points for hole scores:
Double Eagle = 8 pts
Eagle= 5
Birdie = 2
Par = 0
Bogey = -1
Double Bogey or worse = -3
Staking Strategy: 7 x Players & most importantly our recommendation is backing all Players with $1 each in 3 markets so that means a total of $3 for each player = to your usual staking.
So as an example, you would normally have $10 per Player as for your $1 on every market then $30 is invested in total in 3 markets for a return, Outright Win, Top 10 & Top 20.
For the total outlay of 1 event = 7 players x $30 = $210 to cover all 7 of your players in all 3 markets for 4 days of crazy fun and hopefully profit.
If you need to reduce down to $5 to cover all 21 x Plays then please do so, it’s important to cover all plays including Top 10 & Top 20, We take the approach of covering the outlay so think LESS RISK
Last week we had pays of $15.80 (with only Nicolai) in the Top 10 with a few on the cusp that choked late but over in Kentucky we fared better with a few more in the Results with $69 so if you are a $10 player then your return for the weekend as still profitable with $848 in the bag less your $450.
