Play Rules
11. Unless otherwise specified, USGA rules are in effect.
12. Place your mark on your ball. That insures you are hitting the correct ball on the course.
13. You can move the ball one club length distance not closer to the hole. You may not improve your lie (i.e. moving the ball from rough to fairway, fairway to fringe or fringe to green.)
14. Once the ball is on the green you may not improve your lie.
15. Play READY GOLF! (i.e. mark your score at tee box, know your next club)
16. For speed of play, a lost ball is lost. Do not spend time looking for it—play another member’s ball.
17. Provisional shot: For speed of play, if all your team shots are thought to go out of bounds, hit one provisional shot for the team. If any of your original shots are in bounds, pick up provisional shot, with no penalty and play the original ball. There is a 1 stroke penalty, if you do need to play the provisional shot.
18. If no provisional shot is played and all your team’s balls did go out of bounds, play your next shot from the approximate spot the ball went out of bounds. Do not go back and re-hit. A 2-stroke penalty will be assessed for the lost ball.
19. Four strokes over par is the maximum score allowed on a given hole. (I.e. on a par 3, 7 is the maximum score, etc.) Move onto the next hole after the four over par stroke maximum is reached.
20. Unless your team has hit the “4 stroke limit” complete every hole. Points are awarded for total strokes.
21. Any hole not completed due to darkness or storm will be considered a tie.
22. If inclement weather occurs, teams need to remain at the golf course until the league has been canceled or play resumes.
23. Points: 18 Total points each week
2 Points awarded on each hole.
2 Points if you win a hole.
1 Point to each team for a tied hole
**Scorecards for each match will have “bumps” on the hardest holes to signify handicap differences.
24. When determining flights and moving teams from one flight to another, it will be decided by handicap. Ties will be split by the total points for the season.
25. Prizes will be paid out to the top 4 places in each flight as follows:
$450.00 per flight = (1st place = $180.00, 2nd place = $135, 3rd place =$90, and 4th place =$45)
*Best Position format requires all team players to tee off their own balls. After which, the team chooses the ball in the best position. All team players take their next shot from this position. This continues until the ball is in the hole.
**Match Play Team score is compared to the opposing team score on each hole. The team with the lower score wins that hole. (2 points)
Skins is a golf game where each week each team donates $6.00 to the skin pot. At the end of the round all the team’s individual hole scores are compared and if any team has a lower score than any other team on that hole they win a skin. The skin pot will be divided by the number of skins won each week. If no team wins a skin in any given week, the pot carries over to the next week until a skin is won. Any money left in the pot at the end of the season will be paid out in a random draw from within the division the skin was for.
*** Special Events Each week each team donates $3.00 to the special event pot.4 different holes on both the front and back nine will host a special event as set by Rich Spring Staff. The four winners in each league (Lopez and Berg) will each receive a $15 Rich Spring Golf Course gift certificate or Shady’s Longshots Bar and Grill. This will vary from week to week.
