TEAM RULES
No points will be awarded for teams whose Country Club or Men's League dues are not current.
Please turn in only one card. One member from each team must sign the card and place in the ML box inside club house.
Do not figure points or net scores on the card you turn in.
Subs - No team shall play with only one individual and no team shall play with more than one sub. Sub cannot come from the same
League Night. (Example… An American League player cannot sub for an American League Match.)
Matches may not be played more than one week prior to the original scheduled date.
Matches may not be played after the scheduled date unless there is inclement weather
Unless prior arrangements have been made, teams will forfeit if not present by 5:45pm the night of the match and will NOT receive any
points. The team that shows up must play. Your card will be scored against that night’s league average and the blind matches.
If Bye Round matches are scheduled, scores will not be counted and the team with the bye does not have to play.
Score Cards will be available on the night the match is scheduled. If you play before then, use a regular score card and only enter the
gross score!
The Playoff Format will be the same as years past. (AL1 vs. NL1, AL2 vs. NL2, etc.) Schedule TBA.
Subs will NOT be allowed during playoff matches.
Standard USGA rules apply to all matches. Please keep carts out of roped off areas and rough!
Changes for 2017
Please note the red staked lateral hazard areas throughout the course. If you ball enters one of these areas, your options are to play it as
it lies or take a drop straight back from the entry point away from the hole for a 1 stroke penalty. This should help speed up play.
Also note there is no longer in course out of bounds. Please respect the course for the way it is supposed to be played. Do not hit down
number 9 fairway when teeing off number 7. There will be other golfers on the course and we do not want to be hitting over their heads!
For the first two weeks of the season if you ball is in the fairway but you do not have a good lie, you may replace your ball to an area of
better grass. The two weeks will allow the grass to come in better.
