BUMPING IS IN EFFECT.
Players are permitted to bump the ball less than one grip length with the clubhead.
Standard Match Play rules apply. Gimmies are allowed and encouraged to maintain pace of play.
Scoring Requirement: Players must maintain their full Gross/Net scores for all 18 holes. If a match is closed out early (e.g., 3&2), players MUST continue to play the remaining holes and record their scores.
Format: Singles Match Play AND Individual Low Net Stroke Play.
⚠️ CRITICAL: You MUST putt everything out on Day 3. No concessions allowed. We need a valid 18-hole score for the Net Tournament.
Goal: Avoid "The Walk of Shame" and speed up play.
Penalty: 2 Strokes.
Procedure: If you hit your ball Out of Bounds, you do NOT need to return to the tee. Instead, place your ball in the fairway adjacent to where it went out of bounds.
(This simulates hitting a 3rd shot from the tee and landing it in the fairway. You are now lying 3, hitting your 4th shot).
Purpose: To speed up play when a ball is clearly in play but cannot be located (e.g., buried in deep rough or leaves).
"If a player’s ball is lost and the group agrees it is not Out of Bounds, the player may opt to treat the lost ball as an Unplayable Lie rather than taking Stroke and Distance."
Note: If the group believes the ball may be Out of Bounds, this rule does NOT apply. You must proceed under standard OB rules (2 stroke penalty, drop in fairway).
Format: 2-Man Scramble / Alt Shot
Format: 2-Man Best Ball
Golf Rate: $60.42 (Inc. Tax & Cart)
