Golf Course Update

Golf Course is open
We are now playing Summer Rules - play the ball down except in the GUR!
 
During the healing process of our new irrigation system on the Back 9 Only, please observe the following temporary Local Rule:
The following are ground under repair from which play is prohibited.
- Roped Off Areas
- Sanded and Seeded Areas
- Mud or Tire Tracks
- Cores or Grass Clipping
If a player’s ball lies in the area or if it interferes with his stance or the area of his intended swing, the player must take relief under rule 25-1.
Thank You For Your Patience In This Time Of Renovation.

Posting Scores for Handicap Purposes

E-mail Print PDF
Don't forget there is a new Equitable Stroke Table for posting your scores for Handicap Purposes
Incomplete or Conceded Holes -
If a player starts but does not complete a hole, he shall record the score he most likely would have made. This consists of the strokes already taken plus, in his best judgement, the number of strokes that he would need to complete that hole from that position more than half the time.
Example: Bob puts his tee ball on a par 3 hole one foot from the hole. He is conceded his next stroke. His score for the hole would be the number of strokes taken plus the number of strokes he would need to complete the hole. He would post a 2.
His opponent’s ball on that hole lands in a greenside bunker. He gets the ball out successfully; however is still 20 feet from the hole.
Being out of the hole, he picks up the ball. For handicap purposes, he would post a 4 (the 2 strokes played and he usually holes out in 2 from 20 feet away).

Shortened Rounds, holes not played under the Rules of Golf, holes under construction -
If a player does not play a hole or plays it other than under the principles of the Rules of Golf (except preferred lies), his score for that hole for handicap purposes will be par plus any handicap strokes he is entitled to receive on that hole.

Example: A player with a course handicap of 21 does not play the par 4 7th hole. According to the allocation of handicap strokes on the score card, this is the 3rd allocated stroke hole. The player would post a 6 on the scorecard for this hole: Par 4 plus the two strokes he would receive on the hole.
