1.                  The league will begin April 19, 2012 and last for 20 weeks plus an optional league tournament the week following scheduled play.

 

2.                  Starting time for all players will be 5:30.  We will shotgun the entire league off at one time.  Hole assignments for the week will be make by the Pro Shop.

 

3.                  Subs may be used with no limit but YOU MUST FIND YOUR OWN SUB, THE PRO SHOP WILL NOT BE RESPONSABLE FOR FINDING SOMEONE TO PLAY FOR YOU.  If neither partner shows up, and subs were not found, you forfeit.

 

4.                  Play will be match play using the one best ball for each team per hole.  Handicap strokes will be applied per hole based on the card.  Teams will be competing for 8 points each night, 2 points for each 3 holes and 2 points for total.  Ties will mean 1 point per team per 3 holes or total.

 

5.                  Handicaps will be figured by the Pro Shop for all league members and subs with a maximum handicap being 12.  A maximum of double bogie will be allowed on any hole for handicap purposes only. 

 

6.                  Matches should be played on Thursdays but, with prior notice to the Pro Shop, some matches may be played on other days.  You would not be eligible for low gross, low net, or closest to the pin prizes if your match is played other than on a Thursday.  Matches may be played on Thursdays before the shotgun start only if permission is given by the Pro Shop.  You must play with your opponents, no matching of cards will be allowed.

 

7.                  You may improve your lie everywhere except hazards, one club length no nearer the hole and so as not to improve your position to the hole.  When your ball is in a hazard, you may not do anything to improve your lie (i.e., touch ball, move sticks, step down long grass).

 

 

8.                  White stakes and white lies indicate out of bounds.  You must re-hit from the original spot plus add one penalty shot.  Do not go to the spot where your ball went out of bounds and hit your next shot.

 

9.                  In case of rain outs, play will be moved back one week.  (max. 2 weeks).

 

10.             If neither of your opponents show up, you will play against par instead of automatically receiving 8 points.

 

11.              Prize money will be split into 2 halves – 1st 10 weeks and 2nd 10 weeks.  The tournament at the end will be optional and will have a separate entry fee of $5.00 per man and will be a 2-man scramble.  Prize money will be gift certificates.
