LOCAL COURSE RULES, IMPORTANT COURSE INFORMATION & TOURNAMENT SCORING

 

- Anything beyond the external boundaries of the FootGolf course is out of bounds.

 

- All bunkers are in play and must be played as a hazard kick. All bunkers are to be raked to the best of the players ability, failure to do this will result in a 1 stroke penalty

 

- Football Colours are not permitted under any circumstances. Players will not be allowed to participate in the event if wearing any football colours. If a player is found to be wearing football colours whilst playing on the course, this will result in a DQ. 
 

- Out of Bounds fence/netting on Holes 4, 5, 6 & 7 If a player’s ball is on the wrong side of the fence for the corresponding hole this is classed as OOB and the player must retake their previous kick with a penalty stroke. Also, no relief is given if a player’s ball is against these fences. All fences are marked with white paint and white stakes if your ball is beyond the final stake then you are in bounds.

 

Unused/Old Holes – If an unusued or old hole is in a player’s direct line to the pin and the ball is within 20m of the hole relief may be taken at the nearest point. This is not applicable if the player's ball is in the rough, hazard or bunker. 

 

Hole 6 - There is a drain in the middle of the fairway around 14m from the hole. If your ball or stance is in the drain you may take relief to your nearest point. If the drain is in your direct line to the hole and you're within 20m of the pin you may also take free relief to the nearest point. If your ball is in the rough you do not get relief.

 

Hole 8 - There is a drain in the middle of the fairway around 16m from the hole. If your ball or stance is in the drain you may take relief to your nearest point. If the drain is in your direct line to the hole and you're within 20m of the pin you may also take free relief to the nearest point. If your ball is in the rough you do not get relief. 

 

Hole 10 - After playing your tee shot you MUST walk down the path to the right hand side. If you walk down the slope in front of the tee box you will be issued with a +1 penalty for this hole. 

 

Hole 17 - if your tee shot hits the powerlines you have the option to play your ball as it lies or go back to the tee to retake your tee shot (this doesn't incur any penalty.) Please also be careful of some animal damage on the walkway between hole 17 and 18 tee box. 

 

TEE TIMES:

If any player is not present to tee off on the exact time of their match, they may be issued with a 3-0 loss. This is at the discretion of the tournament director and tournament committee. There will be no grace period given for any match. 

 

WALKWAYS - Holes 1-9

- When completing hole 9, all players must walk round the back of the tee box for hole 2 and along the ash path back to the clubhouse. Failure to do so may result in penalties. It is paramount to the smooth running of the event that this is adhered to, otherwise you will be affecting the shots of players in other matches. 

 

WALKWAYS - Holes 10-18

- When walking to hole 10, all players must turn right out of the club house and walk down the ash path and then round the back of hole 1 and in between the tee box for hole 2 to get to their tee. Failure to do so may result in penalties. It is paramount to the smooth running of the event that this is adhered to, otherwise you will be affecting the shots of players in other matches. 

 

- When completing hole 18, all players must walk up the slope towards the clubhouse to the right hand side of hole 13 and the back of the tee box for hole 14 and then back across to the club house. Failure to do so may result in penalties. It is paramount to the smooth running of the event that this is adhered to, otherwise you will be affecting the shots of players in other matches. 

 

SCORECARDS

- Both players must check and agree to all the scores on the scorecard before handing it in, by performing a check after the match has been concluded.

 

- After each match the scorecard must be handed in at the scoring centre in the clubhouse. It is the responsibility of the winning player of each tie to hand in the scorecard but it is expected that both players be present when handing in the scorecard. In the event of a tie, the player marking the card is responsible for handing in the scorecard but again it is expected that both players are present when handing in the scorecard. 

 

- There will be 3 boxes in which to post your match scorecard in to:

•   Men's A-D
•   Men's E-I
•   Seniors

 

MATCH SCORING
