VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
SINCE MANY OF YOU DO NOT READ THE RULES, I AM FORCED TO ADDRESS THREE MAIN RULES THAT NEED TO BE CLARIFIED. THE THREE TOP MISUNDERSTOOD RULES ARE AS FOLLOWED:
AFTER YOUR ROUND, PLEASE PLACE ALL SCORE CARDS IN THE BUCKET AT THE BAR. IF YOU DO NOT TURN IN A SCORE CARD, YOUR ENTIRE GROUP GETS ZERO POINTS.
WHEN TEEING OFF HOLE 1 AND YOU HIT THE BALL LEFT, OUT OF BOUNDS, YOU HAVE 3 MINUTES TO LOCATE IT. AFTER 3 MINUTES, GO TO THE POINT OF ENTRY, ONE CLUB LENGTH FROM OB, AND PLAY FROM THERE HITTING FOUR. (STOKE AND DISTANCE = 2, PLUS RETRIEVING FROM OB, =3, YOU ARE NOW HITTING 4) YOU CANNOT HIT A SECOND BALL FROM THE 1st.TEE. IF YOU HAPPEN TO STRIKE A BALL OB FROM ANY POINT OTHER THEN THE TEE, PLACING THE BALL WITHIN ONE CLUB LENGTH FROM SAID OB HITTING 3 MORE TO YOUR TOTAL FROM THAT POINT. ie HIT ONE OFF TEE AND IS PLAYABLE, THEN HIT THE NEXT SHOT OB, YOU ARE NOW HITTING 4.
THE SAME RULES APPLIED TO HOLE 10. WHEN TEEING OFF HOLE 1O AND YOU HIT THE BALL RIGHT, INTO THE UNDERBRUSH OR BEYOND, YOU HAVE 3 MINUTES TO LOCATE IT. AFTER 3 MINUTES, GO TO THE POINT OF ENTRY, ONE CLUB LENGTH FROM THE UNDERBRUSH, AND PLAY FROM THERE HITTING FOUR. (STOKE AND DISTANCE = 2, PLUS RETRIEVING FROM UNDERBRUSH, =3, YOU ARE NOW HITTING 4) YOU CANNOT HIT A SECOND BALL FROM THE 10th.TEE. IF YOU HAPPEN TO STRIKE A BALL OB FROM ANY POINT OTHER THEN THE TEE, PLACING THE BALL WITHIN ONE CLUB LENGTH FROM SAID OB HITTING 3 MORE TO YOUR TOTAL FROM THAT POINT. (i.e. HIT ONE OFF TEE AND IS PLAYABLE, THEN HIT THE NEXT SHOT OB, YOU ARE NOW HITTING 4.)
WHEN TEEING OFF HOLE 13 AND HITTING IT INTO THE TREES ON THE RIGHT, YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS. THE FIRST IS TO HIT A PROVISIONAL SHOT, IDENTIFING THE BALL TO OTHERS BEFORE HITTING. YOU CAN PROCEED TO THAT SPOT IF YOU LIKE, NOW HITTING 3. OR, YOU CAN LOOK FOR YOUR BALL IN THE WOODS AND SEE IF YOU HAVE A SHOT. YOU CANNOT GET A RELIEF FROM ANYTHING, ONLY A ROOT OR ROCK. MOVING IT WITH ONE CLUB, NO CLOSER TO THE GREEN AND KEEPING ANY OBSTRUCTION (i.e. A TREE) BETWEEN THE BALL AND HOLE. IF YOU DECIDE TO PLAY THE PROVISIONAL, YOU CANNOT HIT YOUR FIRST SHOT.

YOUR HANDICAP IS BASED ON THE LAST FIVE SCORES, DROPPING THE TWO HIGHEST. WE USE THE STABLEFORD SCORING IN THIS LEAGUE. A NET DOUBLE EAGLE OR LESS IS WORTH 5 POINTS. A NET EAGLE IS WORTH 3. A NET BIRD IS WORTH 2. A NET PAR IS 0. A NET BOGEY IS -1. A NET DOUBLE BOGEY IS -2. A NET TRIPLE BOGEY IS-3. A NET QUAD BOGEY OR WORSE IS -4.
IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT SOME PLAYERS IN OUR LEAGUE ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE BASIC RULES OF GOLF. THERE ARE NO MULLAGINS, NO DO OVERS. EVERY TIME THE CLUB STRIKES THE BALL, IT IS A STROKE. EVEN IF YOU SWING AND MISS. IF YOU INTENDED TO HIT IT, AND MISS, IT IS A STROKE. ALSO, PUTTS THAT ARE 12 INCHES OR LESS ARE CONSIDED A GIMMIE AND DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PUTTED. HOWEVER, YOU STILL MUST COUNT IT AS A STROKE. ANYTHING OUTSIDE 12 INCHES, MUST BE PUTTED. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RULES IN OUR LEAGUE AFTER RE-READING THE RULES ON THIS WEBSITE, PLEASE BRING IT TO ME AND I WILL HELP YOU. YOU ALSO HAVE TO HIT IT AS IT LIES, NO LEATHER WEDGES. UNLESS YOU ARE ON A ROOT. IF SO, YOU CAN ONLY MOVE IT OFF THE ROOT, NOT 10 FEET AWAY. WE ARE HERE TO HAVE FUN AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MONITOR OTHER PLAYERS WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO KEEP A PROPER SCORE.
