SCORING: The online NOGA LIVE SCORING is the official scoring source for the tournament. In each group, one player must maintain hole-by-hole scoring using the Golf Genius app with a designated GGID login. Another player in the group must record all four player’s scores on a printed scorecard as a backup to online scoring. After play, each player must confirm his score at the Scoring Area with the tournament officials there.

 

PACE OF PLAY: if a group falls behind and is asked to close the gap, it is the responsibility of all players in the group to comply. The Committee has the right to monitor the lagging group, determine the player(s) causing the delay, and disqualify and remove competitors from the course without refund.

 

RULES QUESTIONS: Try to resolve it among your fellow competitors. If the question cannot be resolved, play two balls and ask the Committee for a ruling prior to confirming the final score.

 

 

Thank you for playing! Have fun!

 

 

COMMITTEE: Allen Freeman, Teal Harvey, Ray Bush, Mike Sweany, Sean Croell, Tony Mastrianni.
