| |
| Format: Team
match play. |
| A team may
include any number of golfers however only 4 members of the
team will compete in a match each week. All golfers must carry
a current 18 - hole GHIN handicap card with a USGA index of
40 or less. The GHIN fee is included in the cost of player registration.
|
| Golfer's
with an 18 hole handicap of over 40 (or a 9-hole handicap index
that is over 20 are welcome to participate in the league but
will be required to play to a 20 handicap (no more than 20 strokes
will be given per 9 holes). |
| |
| All members
of teams with 4 players will be expected to play each week.
If a team member cannot play, she is responsible for finding
her own sub*. If a sub does not play in leiu of an absent player,
that player's match is deemed a forfeit. |
| Teams may
roster more than players and figure out a rotation or, simply
declare specific players as subs. It is the discretion of the
team to decide how they wish to organize themselves. |
| |
| Matches
and tee times are pre-determined for the entire summer so it's
easy to set up your subs in advance to accommodate your personal
schedules. The league will maintain a list of “subs” but it's
not required that you use these players. *A sub can be ANY female
player with a GHIN handicap card from any league! How great
is that?! |
| |
| Here's an
example of how it works: |
| Each week
4 team members from team “A” and 4 members from team “B” will
meet on the tee at their designated tee time. These 8 gals then
determine the “matches” (figure out which four players from
team “A” will play which golfers from team “B”) and they tee
off 10 minutes apart. A schedule of matches and tee times will
be provided in advance of the season. |
| |
| If
you miss your match for ANY reason and do not have a sub playing
for you, your team will receive a forfeit (zero points) and
9 points will be credited to your opponent's team but ONLY if
that opponent plays the round. If the opponent does not play
the round, zero points will be awarded each team. |
| |
| All
matches must start on time. An opponent should not wait for
their “match” to arrive. If your match is not on the tee in
time you must play in order to win points for your team. |
| |
| Good
news if you're LATE: If you arrive late you may get a ride or
walk out to join your opponent. You will loose any of the holes
you missed and will not be allowed to make-up any holes played.
However, you can pick up the match at the start of the group's
next hole. |
| |
| Exceptions
will only be made for match that is missed as a result of an
emergency situation. In these instances a scorecard “match”
or “make-up” game may be allowed. Request for exceptions must
be made to the league manager within 24 hours of the missed
match and the determination will be at the sole discretion of
the league manager. |
| |
| Subs:
|
| |
| A female
golfer who would rather be in a sub pool than on a team may
have her name added to the league's sub list. All subs must
have a current GHIN handicap. There is no cost to be on the
sub list. Subs do not qualify for prizes but are encouraged
to attend any social events. Subs must maintain a current GHIN
handicap. If any sub wishes to maintain her GHIN handicap with
our league, the cost will be $35. |
| |
| A list of
subs will be published by the league. HOWEVER, teams are not
limited to these individuals. A sub may be any female golfer
with a current GHIN handicap from any golf course OR an extra
golfer from a team that does not have a match or team bye that
night. A golfer cannot play 2 matches in one league night and
double matches are not allowed. |
| |
| For the
purpose of scoring matches, subs with handicaps from other courses
will be scored as follows: All eighteen hole USGA Handicaps
will be rounded down to the next lowest even number and divided
by 2. Nine-hole USGA handicaps will be rounded down to the next
lowest even number. |
| |
| |
| Scoring:
|
| |
| Before the
match adjust your scorecard to reflect your handicap. Dot any
holes that require “strokes to be given” in the match. The scoring
will be one point per hole or, 9 points. Don't panic. This is
not as complicated as it sounds and there are lots of people
to show you how it works. |
| |
| All scores
will be posted onto league score sheets each game night. Standings
will be sent out by email as often as we can get it done. |
| |
| Rules
of Match Play: |
|
| Rules of
match play allow a player to “concede” the hole at any time,
pick up their ball and record their equitable score. The player
who was “given” the hole may choose to play the hole out or,
take her equitable and pick up. |
| |
| Socials:
|
| |
| We will
hold 1 end of the season award banquet. The date will be announced
in advance. The cost for the BBQ will around $5/person and sign
up will be required in advance. |
| |
| Awards:
|
| |
| At the end
of the season honors will be awarded to the winning team, and
for other specials such as chip-ins and birdies. |
| |
| |
| Rules:
|
| |
| I made them
all up so I'll reserve the right to change them at any time
for the benefit of the league. I'm sure there are many things
that can be improved upon. So,if anyone thinks changes need
to be made let me know and we'll figure it out. |
