MEN’S CHRISTIAN GOLF LEAGUE 2019
14. TEE OFF POSITIONS FOR THE NIGHT
14. IF ANY GROUP IS INCOMPLETE, PLEASE DO NOT GET INTO LINE TO TEE OFF! YOU WILL BE ASKED TO MOVE YOUR CART. WE WILL HAVE A DESIGNATED AREA TO LINE UP FOR TEEING OFF. ALL OTHER CARTS NEED TO BE IN AN AREA AWAY FROM THAT POSITION SO OTHER CARTS CAN GET INTO THE LINE DESIGNATED TO TEE OFF IN. AGAIN, THE RULES COMMITTEE (RAY, BRIAN, ANDRE, STAN & WAYNE) WILL MONITOR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION. WE WILL WORK WITH GOLDEN HAWK TO TRY AND SHOT-GUN OUR STARTS WITH ALL OPEN AND AVAILABLE HOLES. ONE OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WILL DESIGNATE COMPLETE GROUPS STARTING HOLES AT THE PRAYER CIRCLE. AGAIN, WE WILL ONLY SHOT GUN THOSE HOLES THAT ARE AVAILABLE WHEN WE TEE OFF IN COMPLIANCE WITH GOLDEN HAWK MANAGEMENT.
15A & 15B. FLUFF RULE DEFINED FOR FLIGHTS /15C. COURSE CONDITION
15 A. THE COMMITTEE HAS RULED THAT WE WILL NOT USE THE FLUFF RULE FOR THOSE PLAYING IN THE ‘A’ FLIGHT. YOU MUST PLAY IT AS IT LIES IN THE ROUGH. IN THE FAIRWAYS YOU STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO MOVE IT 6” LEFT, RIGHT OR BACK.
15 B. IF YOU ARE PLAYING IN THE ‘B’ FLIGHT, YOU CAN STILL FLUFF UP THE SHOT IN THE ROUGH WITH THE CLUB ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT PICK IT UP THE BALL AND PLACE IT, NOR MOVE IT FROM BEHIND OBSTACLES THAT ARE IN THE WAY. YOU CAN ONLY FLUFF IT UP, MAINTAINING A POSITION WITHOUT BETTERING YOUR LIE.
15 C. THE RULES COMMITTEE WILL MAKE A JUDGEMENT CALL AT THE START OF EACH ROUND AS TO THE PLAYABLE CONDITIONS ON THE COURSE AS WELL AS THE SAND TRAPS. IF WARRANTED, LIFT, CLEAN AND PLACE SHALL BE INVOKED AS NEEDED FOR THE COURSE. THE COMMITTEE HAS DECIDED THAT THE SAND TRAPS WILL BE EVALUATED ON A WEEK TO WEEK BASIS. IF THE GOLF COURSE MAKES THE SAND TRAPS MORE PLAYABLE LIKE SAND TRAPS SHOULD BE, THEN WE WILL USE THEM. IF THE COURSE DOESN’T MAINTAIN THEM AS SUCH, THEN WE WILL NOT USE THEM. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK WITH YOUR PLAYING PARTNER OR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THE PLAYING CONDITIONS FOR THE NIGHT ARE AS OUTLINED AT THE PRAYER CIRCLE.
16. BALL IDENTIFICATION DURING LEAGUE PLAY
16. ALSO, PLEASE MAKE IT A POINT TO MARK SOME TYPE OF IDENTIFICATION ON YOUR BALL TO ELIMINATE ANY CONFUSION, ESPECIALLY IF TWO OR MORE PLAYERS ARE USING THE SAME IDENTICAL BALL DURING LEAGUE PLAY.
17. DESIGNATING TEAM CAPTAINS
17. EACH TEAM WILL SELECT A TEAM CAPTAIN WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RULES DISCREPANCIES, DECISION ON DROPS OR ON OUT OF BOUNDS SITUATIONS, OR FOR ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT MAY ARISE DURING THE MATCH. PLEASE KEEP A COPY OF THE RULES IN YOUR BAG SO THAT YOU MAY ADDRESS ANY SITUATION THAT COMES UP. ANY ISSUE THAT CANNOT BE RESOLVED CAN BE BROUGHT INTO THE CLUBHOUSE AFTER GOLF AND THE RULES COMMITTEE WILL DISCUSS IT AND MAKE A DECISION THAT NIGHT IF POSSIBLE, BUT WITHIN A WEEK AT THE LATEST. PLEASE GIVE THE RULES COMMITTEE THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE TO NOT DISTURB THEM WHILE PLAYING THEIR MATCHES.
