fairway only. You are not allowed to move the ball
in the rough.
We also play "ready golf'. Let's not stand on formality, hit
the ball!

5.
Please keep play moving
along with these tips in mind: a. Ready golf. Be
ready to hit. Lost ball-please look for no
longer than 4 min. c. Keep the number
of practice swings to a
minimum, d. Don't
spend all night
lining up your putts! This isn't for a million dollars! e. If it is
agreed to
by all in the foursome that a ball has been lost in the fairway, drop
another and play
on, with no penalty stroke.

8.
Subs who have handicaps
will play in the flight their handicap puts them in. For subs with no
handicap,
they will be placed in the "B" flight. If you are not sure, ask!
9.
If
one person in
a match does not have an established handicap, both players in that
match will
play as if they do not have a handicap.
They will look up their handicap on the handicap sheet
based upon the
score that they shot that day. They can then figure out points to be
awarded.
10.
NO SHOWS - If your opponent does not
show for the match within the tee time
(6:00
P.M.) Plus 5
minutes, or fails to provide a sub, you shall be awarded five (5)
points. You
shall earn one (1) bonus point if you post a score equal to or better
than your
league average. Please make every effort to obtain a sub if you are
unable to
play. See the website
for a sub list and phone numbers.
11.
Total points won shall
determine team standings.
