TGL Hybrid Tournament Rulebook
North Range tournaments utilize a “Hybrid” format inspired by the SoFi TGL. Matches are split into two distinct phases: The Screen Zone (Long Game) and The Green Zone (Short Game). This format eliminates “simulator putting” and replaces it with real-world pressure on our 6-inch raised green.
The Screen Zone (Bays 1 & 2)
Tee & Approach Shots:
All shots greater than 30 yards from the pin must be played from the Foresight Falcon simulator bays.
Data Integrity:
Members must use the provided premium, unmarked balls. All shots are tracked by the Foresight Falcon for 99% accuracy.
The "Green Zone" Trigger:
Once a ball comes to rest within 30 yards of the pin on the FSX Play software, the "Screen Zone" portion of the hole is complete.
The Green Zone (Bays 1 & 2)
Physical Transition:
When a player enters the Green Zone, they must pick up their ball and move to the 6-inch raised putting green.
Spot Putting:
The Tournament Director will assign a "Starting Spot" on the physical green based on the distance shown on the simulator:
- 0–10 Feet: Spot A
- 11–20 Feet: Spot B
- 20+ Feet: Spot C
The "Clink" Rule:
A hole is not finished until the ball is physically in the cup. "Auto-putt" is disabled for all tournament play.
