USGA rules will be used unless stated otherwise. If you have a question
during the round, continue to play and the Commissioners will rule on it
afterwards. All decisions by the commissioners will be final.
|
|
"Winter Rules" will apply as you can improve your lie in your own fairway
|
|
To speed up play, we will use the "Soft" out of bounds rule.
This means that you can drop, with a stroke penalty, at the point you went
out of bounds, rather than re-hitting from the original spot.
|
|
Rainouts will be called by the Commissioner by 2:00pm. If the league has
not been canceled by 2:00pm, plan on showing up at the course. At that
point, the decision will be made at the course.
|
|
Max Strokes per Hole: We will use Double Par + 1 (Example: On Par 4,
pick up after the 8th stroke and score a 9).
|
|
Handicaps - Your handicaps will be the average of your rounds. Once you
have 6 or more rounds, your handicap will be the average of the best 5 out
of your last 6 rounds. (The first round of the year is assigned to you based on last
years handicap. For new players, the commissioner will assign your first
round base upon your expected level of play)
|
|
All subs playing for the first time
should be assign a handicap by the commissioner. (If this is not possible
and the opposing team agrees, they can select a handicap prior to the round
beginning)
|
|
There will be 6 points available in scoring a match. See "Scoring a
Match" note for specifics.
|
|
Effective 2012, during the regular season, a Sub or Subs can represent a team
if no members of that team are available to play that week. During playoffs, at
least 1 regular member of a team must be present or the match is a forfeit.
|
|
Please have the courtesy of informing an opponent if your team does not intend on
showing up for a particular match. At the discretion of the Commissioners,
a team may be removed from the league for forfeiting 3 times.
|
|
All matches must be played on Thursday. If you cannot make your team time,
there is a possibility of playing at a later time or matching Scorecards.
This is an arrangement to be worked out between the teams playing. A team
does not have to agree with this arrangement. If an arrangement cannot be
worked out, both teams must be there at their scheduled Tee Time.
|
|
Effective 2013, during the regular season, if one team has no one to represent
them that week, the other team that does show up to play is automatically awarded
the 2 Team points from that match. To earn the 4 remaining individual Stroke and
Hole points for that week, the team needs to play their round and then match cards
against a designated team from that week. During playoffs, the match is a forfeit
if one team does not show up to play.
|
|
Scorecards should be turned in after the match. There will be folders in
the bar to place your scorecards (next to cash register). Please include:
Team Numbers, 1st and Last names of participants, Points per team
on the card and the card must be signed by 1 member of each team. It is
your responsibility to Score the Match, it is not the Commissioners
responsibility. If you need assistance, there are plenty of people around to
assist.
|
|
Once the scorecard has been signed, NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE. If it
is wrong when you sign it, it will stay as is. Please make sure the score is
totaled correctly and accurately prior to signing.
|
|
Please keep playing moving out there as it will be pretty congested with all
being on one Tee this year. Don�t waste too much time looking for lost
balls. Pick up after you reach the max. All putts must be putted out unless
the other team calls a "Gimme".
