2. THE ROAD TO PEBBLE BEACH
The road to Pebble Beach starts at Richmond Country Club! Top teams in the Handicap Index
and Gross Division combined from every local National Kidney Foundation Golf Classic are
invited to compete at the National Finals held at the famed Pebble Beach Resorts. If the U.S.
Open or the U.S. Amateur is not in your future, this three-day tournament may be your only
chance to compete for a national championship at beautiful and challenging Pebble Beach
Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and The Links at Spanish Bay.
Put your team together and get ready to play at Richmond Country Club for an invite to
Pebble Beach. Each Handicap Index Division team can have one player with a Handicap Index
of 8.0 or less and the total combined Handicap Index for your four players must be 42.0 or
more. This format allows all golfers, whether a low handicapper or new to the game, to
participate on a team and be competitive!
Additionally, a Gross Division has been added to the tournament, comprised of teams whose
golfers do not have an official USGA handicap index or do not meet the above handicap index
requirements. Top finishers from both categories will be invited to compete at the National
Finals.
The NKF Golf Classic is the nation’s premier amateur golf event for charity. Each year
thousands of golfers from across the country participate in the events for the exciting
competition and the chance to earn an invitation to the National Finals at Pebble
Beach—all to benefit a worthy cause.

3. OUR MISSION
The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) is the leading organization in the U.S. dedicated to the awareness,
prevention and treatment of kidney disease for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals, millions of
patients and their families and tens of millions of Americans at risk.
With local offices nationwide, the NKF is doing the following, every day:
 Educating Americans through multimedia public awareness initiatives about kidney disease and
ways to reduce their risk.
 Empowering those at risk to take action at free, local kidney health screenings.
 Supporting kidney patients, organ donors, and their families - online at www.kidney.org, on the
phone toll-free at 1-855-NKF-Cares, and through personal peer-mentoring.
 Advocating as the voice of the kidney patient in Washington DC to address the organ donor
shortage, fund more kidney research, and defend Medicare coverage for kidney disease.
 Sharing the latest treatment information and practices with healthcare providers so patients get the
best possible care.
The NKF relies on individual and corporate donations, foundation and government grants, memberships and
special events to support its range of programs, services and initiatives.
Your participation in the National Kidney Foundation Golf Classic will enable us to provide help and hope to the
26 million Americans with kidney disease. Your support will directly influence and positively impact the lives of
those at risk, those living with the disease, and those who care for and about them.
KIDNEY FACTS
 1 in 3 American adults is at risk for kidney disease.
 Major risk factors for kidney disease include diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney
failure and being age 60 or older. Because kidney disease often has no symptoms, it can go
undetected until it is very advanced.
 Kidney disease kills over 90,000 Americans each year—more than breast and prostate cancer
combined...
 Those at risk should have simple blood and urine tests to check if their kidneys are working properly.
 Every day 13 people die while waiting for a kidney. 415,000 PEOPLE depend on dialysis for survival.
 96,000 PEOPLE are on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.
 1 IN 9 AMERICAN adults has kidney disease—and most don’t know it. EARLY DETECTION AND
TREATMENT can slow or prevent the progression of kidney disease.

Pebble Beach
Qualify for the National Finals at Pebble Beach Resorts!
The eligible winning teams will be invited to enter the NKF Golf Classic National Finals at the Pebble
Beach Resorts, January 2017 (additional fees required). The National Finals is a 54-hole tournament
conducted at Pebble Beach Golf Links, Links at Spanish Bay and Spyglass Hill Golf Course.
All registration fees, travel and accommodations must be paid for by the participants.

9. Tournament Format
The SCRAMBLE format is comprised of a round of golf with foursomes competing as a team for the
lowest golf score. All team members tee off and the best shot is selected. Each player’s tee shot must
be used at least three times per round. Play continues with all team members hitting from that spot
within one club length (no closer to the hole). The process continues until the hole is complete. The
team records one score and moves on to the next hole.
Handicap Index Division
Competing foursomes must have a combined handicap index of 42.0 or more. Only one team member
may have a handicap index of 8.0 or less. So everyone, regardless of their level of golf skills, has a
great chance to win!
All golfers competing in the Handicap Index Division for the National Finals at Pebble Beach and
official tournament prizes are required to have a USGA Handicap Index. Acceptable handicaps are
verified through using systems including, but not limited to, GHIN, GolfNet, BlueGolf and State Golf
Associations.
Golfer's handicaps are effective as of the latter of:
1) the day of registration and payment, or
2) the day marking sixty days prior to the event
Any team that contains a member who does not comply with these requirements will not be eligible
for Handicap Index Division tournament prizes and may enter in the Gross Division.
Gross Division
Foursomes competing in the Gross Division do not require a handicap index. Teams will compete for
tournament prizes within that division, including invitations for the top three winning teams, to the
National Finals at Pebble Beach, January 2017.
