- The putting contest will take place on the practice putting surface at Saratoga National Golf Course.
- The putt distance is to be determined and will be measured by Saratoga National Golf Course staff.
- Each participant may use their own putter. Participants must use the supplied golf balls.
- Each participant in the 2025 IPPNY golf tournament will have two (2) attempts at making the putt from the set distance.
- If a participant makes their first attempt, they will not make a second attempt.
- After each participant has completed their two attempts, if only one participant makes the putt with their two attempts, that participant will be awarded the prize.
- If no participants made either of their two putt attempts, the prize will be raffled off during the reception following the tournament.
- If more than one participant makes the initial putt, the contest will move to a tiebreaker “putt off.”
- Each participant in the tiebreaker will be given two additional opportunities to putt from a shorter distance to be determined.
- If a participant makes their first attempt, they will not make a second attempt.
- If only one of the remaining participants makes their putt, that participant will be awarded the prize.
- If all remaining participants make one of their two attempts or miss them both, each participant will be given an additional two opportunities to putt again from the same distance.
- Again, if only one of the remaining participants makes their putt, that participant will be awarded the prize.
- If three or more participants are in the tiebreaker, all participants who miss their putt attempts will be eliminated if other participants have made their putts – “knockout” style.
- If all remaining participants make one of their two attempts or if all participants miss both attempts, the distance will be shortened again.
- Each participant will alternate putt attempts from the new distance until only one participant makes the putt in a given round.
- Each participant will be given the same number of attempts in the tiebreaker rounds. This is not sudden death.
- If three or more participants compete in this tiebreaker, this will again be a “knockout” style
