If the competitors cannot agree on a golf course then the match must be held at  Poppy Ridge. Men and women may play from any tees. The yardages, slope and rating information must be obtained from the NCGA.org official website to determine the proper tees, not the course scorecard or course website.

  be played at Poppy Ridge.
