SCORING

 

There will be two ways to return your official scorecard.  Electronic, which is the preferred method, or the printed scorecard.  Scorecards will be accepted for 45 minutes after the first Electronic Scorecard is returned.  Upon which time all scorecards will be certified and results announced.  If you do not have the app, please download the Golf Genius App (Icon to the Left) prior to your arrival.

E-5

LOCAL RULE FOR STROKE AND DISTANCE PENALTIES IN EFFECT

 

The Local Rules and Conditions of Competition have been updated to reflect the current revisions within the rules of golf and our competitions committee has also decided to adopt the Local Rule for a Ball that is Lost or Out of Bounds (E-5) for this event.

This Local Rule does not prevent you from playing a provisional ball and in most cases it is still wise to do so.  This local rule is not available to the first ball when you put a provisional ball into play.

If you have questions on this local rule please see Steve Jurick or Dave Miller on Monday.

 

 

HANDICAPS

 

For the Net Scores, handicaps have been determined using the Friday May 12th revision.
