Ties for flight prizes will be determined by the USGA recommended procedure:  Best Ball score cards will be compared to determine the best net score for holes 10-18; if necessary, scores on 13-18, then 16-18. If still tied, the winner will determine by comparing Best Ball scorecards starting with the 18^th hole working backwards.
