THE TENNIS RULES
The toss of the coin will decide
the serving team.
Maintain the same serving order
for the entire match with one player
commencing serve from the right-hand
side, the other commencing serve
from the left-hand side.
Service alternates after each 5
points until one team reaches 35 points.
Both teams then divide their number
of points won by 7 to find
their tennis score.
7 tennis points equate to 1 golf
hole with whole multiples of 7 points
required for each golf hole equivalent.
Players change ends at the completion
of each 20 points.
THE GOLF RULES

local rules apply.
Men play from the WHITE tees.

A “Canadian Foursomes” format
will be played. (Both tee off then
choose one ball for the second shot).
Score 1 point for each hole
won outright.
If the match is halved after adding
the golf and tennis scores
together, a countback to the last golf
hole won outright will determine
the winner.
All players play off scratch.

The lowest handicap is scratch and all handicaps will be your GA handicap.
