An alternate dispersion proposal. By a John Bircher, Cut out the two and one half percent (2.5%) for the last six (6), this isn't bowling and we reward winners not losers. Reduce the six and one quarter percent (6.25%) to five percent (5%). Redistribute as follows: 25% for the tournament winner plus 2.5 % for engraving. 14.5% for the low gross score. 9.5 % for each of the flight winners. 5% for longest drive, putting contest and closest to the pin on the front and back nines.
