Rules
Saturday, Feb. 9
Our February
tournament is
composed of two
8:00 Shotgun
parts. Each team
will comprise 4
Devil Ball
members. The first
3-Man Best Ball part is Devil Ball
(sometimes called
Yellow Ball). The
second part is 3-Man Best Ball. Each team will be
provided a specially colored (probably not yellow),
uniquely marked ball.
+
so on. Chose your order wisely.
The other three players play Best Ball. The two scores
are added together for a composite score.
If the Devil Ball is lost (or hit out of bounds), the
rotating player uses his own ball for the remainder of
the round. The rotating player’s score is always used in
the composite score. The score of the original Devil Ball
will be used as a tie breaker for the Best Ball
competition.
The Devil Ball Winner will be determined first by those
teams who manage to complete their round without
losing their Devil Ball. If more than one team finishes
with their Devil Ball, the tie breaker will be the usual
method using the Devil Ball score on the 9th hole, etc.
Teams determine their order of play and rotate in that If no team completes their round with their Devil Ball,
order until the end of the round. For example: Player 1 the team that completes the most holes will be the
plays the Devil Ball on hole #1, player 2 on hole #2, and winner.

PACE OF PLAY POLICY
The length of time it takes for us to complete our tournament rounds is a constant topic of discussion by
the BOMC members, the Black Oak Golf Course management and the public who play amongst us or behind us. Below is an excerpt from an article published to the players in the 2003 U.S. Amateur Public Links
Championship. These are guidelines to which we should attempt to adhere. Playing time estimates, generally 15 minutes per hole, are available in the pro shop.
Pace of Play Policy
Rule 6-7 states, in part: "The player shall play without undue delay and in accordance with any pace of play
guidelines which may be laid down by the Committee," and thereafter prescribes penalties for slow play. In
order to prevent any such penalty we suggest that you review carefully the following guidelines.
Allotted Time
Black Oak Golf Course has set times for each hole within which they expect all groups to play.
Definition of "Out of Position"
Any group will be considered out of position if it (a) is taking more than the allotted time to play and (b)
reaches the teeing ground of a par-3 hole and the preceding group has cleared the next tee; reaches the
teeing ground of a par-4 hole and the putting green is clear; or reaches the teeing ground of a par-5 hole
when the preceding group is on the putting green. Both (a) and (b) must apply for a group to be out of position.
Pace of Play Penalties
The following are the penalties, in sequence, for any player in a group or match being timed who takes
more than the allotted time to play a stroke after timing of the player's stroke begins:
Stroke Play
One bad timing exceeding the allotted time - warning
A second bad timing - 1 stroke penalty
A third bad timing - Additional 2 stroke penalty
A fourth bad timing - Disqualification
Match Play
One bad timing exceeding the allotted time - warning
A second bad timing - loss of hole
A third bad timing - warning
A fourth bad timing - Disqualification
NOTE: If the group/match in question regains its proper position, any previous timing of more than
the allotted time will be carried over for the remainder of that round/match in the event that the
group/match requires additional monitoring.
