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 Screen 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.

The Arctic Hammer" Invitational
Format: Triples (3-vs-3) & Singles Match Play
Intensity: 40-Second Shot Clock (The “Buzzer” is real)
- TRIPLES (Holes 1–9): Alternate shot format. Team chemistry is everything.
- SINGLES (Holes 10–15): Head-to-head showdowns to close the match.
- THE OVERTIME: If tied after 15, we go to a 3-on-3 "Closest to the Pin" shootout.
Equipment & Safety
Clean Shoe Policy:
Absolutely no outdoor shoes are permitted on the tournament turf. Members must change into clean, indoor-only golf shoes in the Mudroom.
Club Care:
All club faces must be cleaned of Fairbanks dirt/debris before entering the hitting bay to protect the impact screens.
The Falcon Rule:
Do not touch or adjust the overhead Falcon units. Any tech issues must be reported to the Tournament Director immediately.
Scoring & Disputes
Manual Entry:
After finishing a hole on the physical green, the player must manually enter their total strokes into the FSX Play "Manual Putt" interface.
Integrity:
As a "Founding 30" lab, we rely on the integrity of our members. Any intentional misrepresentation of scores will result in immediate disqualification and potential membership review.
