Format
Shamble - Players will tee off from their designated teeing area on each hole.  The team will then decide which drive is best.  All the players in the team will play their next shot from that spot.  Following that shot all players will play their own ball the remainder of the hole.  The team score will be the 1 best gross score of the 3 players. Final placement will be determined by lowest total score for the combined 18 holes

 

Settling Ties
All ties will be determined by using the USGA Scorecard Playoff method.  1st – Back 9 Total, 2nd Last 6 holes, 3rd Last 3 holes, 4th Last Hole, Followed by Last Hole Backwards

 

Pace of Play

Maximum Pace of Play is set at 4 hours and 48 minutes. Pace will be monitored, official reserves the right to warn then assess penalty strokes if groups cannot maintain an appropriate pace of play.  Players that are “out of the hole” are encouraged to pick up for speed of play.

 

Scoring
Each group will have 1 hardcard.  1 player in each group will keep the hardcard for backup and 1 player in each group will keep the online Golf Genius live scoring. 

 

Doubt as to Procedure (Rule 20.1c(3)) & Provisional Ball (Rule 18.3)

If a competitor is doubtful of her rights or the correct procedure during the play of a hole, the competitor may, without penalty, complete the hole with two balls. The competitor should designate which ball they wish to count if the Rules permit, and the situation must be reported at the scoring area before the scorecard is returned. If a ball may be lost or out of bounds, the player should declare and hit a provisional ball. If the original ball is found and not out of bounds, the provisional ball must be abandoned while continuing play with the original ball.

 

 

ADDENDUM TO RULES

 

Preferred Lies

Ball will be played with preferred lies in the general area of the golf course.  Players may mark, lift, clean and place your ball within one club length and no closer to the hole.  Ball may not be moved from general area to other areas of the course (putting green, bunker, penalty areas). Preferred lies are not available in bunkers and penalty areas, ball must be played as it lies.

 

Penalty Areas

All natural/heather/native grasses on the course are to be played as a Red Penalty area unless otherwise marked.  These areas will not be marked with red but will be played as such.  All other Penalty Areas are marked with red lines or red stakes.

 

Leaf Rule/Lost Ball

If a players ball is considered lost in the general area, the opposing team can determine the spot closest to the balls believed location and a new ball can be dropped in that spot for no penalty.  This rule cannot be used if there is a chance the ball could have been lost out of bounds or in a penalty area.  Appropriate relief for those areas must be used in that case.

 

Out of Bounds

Out of Bounds is determined by white lines and/or stakes and the golf course perimeter boundaries and fencing.  Parking lots and external course roads are also considered out of bounds
