MEN\u2019S CHRISTIAN GOLF LEAGUE 2019<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

THIS LEAGUE WILL ADHERE TO RULES OF THE USGA IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LOCAL RULES OF THE GOLF ESTABLISHMENTS THAT WE PLAY AT ~ ALONG WITH THE FOLLOWING LEAGUE RULES THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BELOW.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. WE WILL PLAY WINTER RULES THE ENTIRE SEASON. A BALL ANYWHERE IN YOUR FAIRWAY ONLY MAY BE MOVED A MAXIMUM [6] INCHES WITH THE CLUB ONLY, LEFT, RIGHT OR BACK. IT MAY NOT BE MOVED CLOSER TO THE HOLE. IF A BALL LANDS IN A WATER HAZARD OR STAKED OUT OF BOUNDS, THE BALL MUST BE DROPPED KEEPING THE HAZARD BETWEEN THE BALL AND THE GREEN. THE BALL CAN BE MOVED EITHER LATERALLY OR BACK. AT NO TIME CAN THE BALL BE PLACED OR PROPPED, UNLESS AFTER DROPPING 2 TIMES*, THE BALL CONTINUES TO LAND OUT-OF-BOUNDS OR IN A HAZARD, THEN IT CAN BE PLACED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. BALLS THAT COME TO REST INBOUNDS NEAR A MAN MADE OBSTACLE PREVENTING A NORMAL STANCE OR SWING MAY BE MOVED WITHOUT PENALTY. THIS INCLUDES, CART PATHS, STAKES, POST DESIGNATING DISTANCES TO THE GREEN, AND FENCES DESIGNATING OUT OF BOUNDS. THE BALL CAN BE MOVED 2 CLUB LENGTHS AND MUST BE DROPPED, NOT PLACED OR PROPPED. IT CANNOT BE DROPPED ANY CLOSER TO THE HOLE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. OUT-OF-BOUNDS WILL BE TREATED AS A [1] STROKE PENALTY. THE BALL WILL BE DROPPED FROM THE POINT OF ENTRY (TWO CLUB LENGTHS RELIEF) BUT NO CLOSER TO THE HOLE. THE OPPONENT WILL BE THE SPOTTER AND DETERMINE THE POINT OF RELIEF. AGAIN, THE BALL MUST BE DROPPED AND NOT PLACED OR PROPPED UNLESS AS NOTED IN #1*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. ANY PLAYER FAILING TO COMPLETE HIS ROUND WILL ONLY RECEIVE THOSE POINTS THAT HE HAS EARNED UP TO THAT POINT. HIS OPPONENT, WILL EARN THE BALANCE OF THE POINTS. IF THE WITHDRAWL IS DUE TO AN EMERGENCY OR INJURY, THE RULES COMMITTEE WILL ALLOW THE PLAYER LEAVING TO COMPLETE THE MATCH FROM LAST HOLE FINISHED AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY WITH A LEAGUE MEMBER, AS SOON AS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE. IF PLAY IS SUSPENDED BY THE LEAGUE OR THE COURSE, THEN THE PLAYERS WILL RECEIVE THE POINTS THEY EARNED UP TO LAST COMPLETED HOLE BY THE LAST GROUP ON THE COURSE. THE POINTS FOR THE BALANCE OF THE HOLES NOT FINISHED WILL BE CALCULATED BASED ON THE PLAYERS CURRENT HANDICAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT SLOW PLAY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. OTHERS WANT TO FINISH BEFORE DARK. THIS IS A FACTOR AT THE START OF THE LEAGUE AND AT THE END OF THE SEASON. 5 MINS IS THE MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWED TO SEARCH FOR YOUR BALL WHEN YOU LEAVE THE TEE BOX. THE TEAM CAPTAINS WILL BE THE TIME KEEPERS. PLEASE PLAY READY GOLF. DROP OFF YOUR PARTNER AT HIS BALL AND GO TO YOUR BALL. HE SHOULD HIT IF NOBODY IS IN HIS WAY. EVERYONE WANTS TO FINISH IN THE LIGHT, SO PLEASE SPEED UP PLAY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. STANDARD GOLF ETIQUETTE MUST BE DISPLAYED AT ALL TIMES. WE ARE A CHRISTIAN GOLF LEAGUE AND BEAR WITNESS TO OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST, SO WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT ALL GOLFERS REFRAIN FROM USING PROFANE LANGUAGE AT ALL TIMES. WE PREFER TO BE A NON-ALCOHOL AND DRUG FREE LEAGUE. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO JOIN US ON THE PRACTICE GREEN PRIOR TO LEAGUE PLAY TO LISTEN TO THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS, A WORD OF WISDOM FROM THE SCRIPTURES, FOLLOWED BY A SHORT PRAYER ADDRESSING ALL NEEDS AS WELL AS PRAISE REPORTS FROM THE LEAGUE MEMBERS AND SUBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


7. SCORING SYSTEM <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

7. SCORING HAS BEEN REVISED TO A MAXIMUM (2) POINTS POSSIBLE ON EACH HOLE PLAYED. THE MOST A PLAYER CAN EARN IS (18) POINTS IF HE WINS EVERY HOLE. ALL HOLES TIED WILL SPLIT THE POINTS. IF YOU HAVE WON THE HOLE, WHICH MUST INCLUDE ANY HANDICAP STROKES THAT ARE DUE TO YOUR OPPONENT, THEN YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OPPONENT PICK UP HIS BALL, ADD A STROKE TO HIS SCORE AND MOVE ON. WE ARE ASKING THE OPPONENTS TO INITIAL THEIR SCORE CARDS AFTER THEIR MATCH. THIS BECOMES THE OFFICIAL FINAL SCORE CARD FOR THE PLAYERS SCORE AND POINT CALCULATIONS. SO WHAT YOU TURN IN IS WHAT YOU WILL GET. SO, PLEASE REVIEW YOUR CARD BEFORE TURNING THEM IN. PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR CARDS COMPLETELY WITH SCORES AND POINTS. I WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE POINTS OR SCORE ONCE IT IS TURNED IN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

9A. SUBS 9B. ABSENT WITHOUT SUB 9C. LATE TO THE ROUND <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

IN THE EVENT THAT YOU CANNOT MAKE A LEAGUE NIGHT, THEN THIS IS HOW IT WILL BE HANDLED!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

9A. ONCE YOU HAVE SECURED A SUB FROM THE APPROVED SUB LIST FOR 2019, THEN YOU WILL NEED TO TEXT RAY NO LATER THAN THE DAY BEFORE THE LEAGUE NIGHT, SO HE CAN UPDATE THE SCORE CARD WITH THE SUB AND HIS HANDICAP. \u201cNEW\u201d SUBS CAN ONLY BE ADDED UP TO THE 2ND WEEK OF THE SEASON. AFTER THAT, NO ADDITIONAL SUBS WILL BE ADDED TO THE APPROVED SUB LIST. IF THAT SUB DOESN\u2019T HAVE A HANDICAP, THEN WE WILL CALCULATE HIS SCORE AT 80% ON THE FIRST NIGHT THAT HE PLAYS A ROUND IN LEAGUE COMPETITION.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9B. IF A PLAYER IS ABSENT WITHOUT A SUB, THEN IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PLAYER PRESENT FOR THAT TEAM TO FILL OUT THE HANDICAP SCORE CARD. THE CALCULATION CHART FOR HANDICAPS WITH THE 3 STROKE PENALTY WILL BE NEXT TO THE PLAYER CHECK IN SHEET IN THE PRO SHOP. THE CARDS MUST BE FILLED OUT FOR THE NIGHTS MATCH. THE HANDICAP CARD IS STILL SUBJECT TO GIVING AND RECEIVING STROKES ACCORDING TO THE PLAYERS HANDICAP. ANY CARDS TURNED IN WITHOUT BEING FILLED OUT MAY BE SUBJECT TO LOSING POINTS IN THE MATCH! THE OPPOSING PLAYER WILL EARN THOSE POINTS HE HAS WON BASED ON THE THREE STROKE PENALTY SHEET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9C. IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THAT LATE ARRIVALS MUST BE THERE BY 6:00PM. LATE PLAYERS GROUPS SHOULD REMAIN ON THE TEE BOX UNTIL 6:00, UNLESS NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED THAT YOUR OPPONENT WILL NOT MAKE IT. THEY CAN THEN TEE OFF AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY THEY HAVE AND HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY BEFORE ANY OF THE SHOTGUN GROUPS. IF ANY SHOTGUN GROUPS ARRIVE AT THE TEE BOX AND THE LATE PLAYER ARRIVES AT THE SAME TIME, THEN THE GROUP WITH THE LATE ARRIVAL HAS PRIORITY TO TEE OFF FIRST. IN THE EVENT THAT THE GROUP WITH THE MISSING PLAYER TEES OFF AT 6:00, THEN THE LATE PLAYER MUST BE WITH THEIR GROUP READY TO TEE OFF BY THE THIRD HOLE. IF HE DOES NOT MAKE IT BY THEN, THE PLAYER ARRIVING LATE WILL BE TREATED AS AN ABSENT GOLFER AND HANDICAP SCORE CARD WILL BE COMPILED. A THREE STROKE PENALTY WILL BE ADDED ON THE SCORECARD FROM HARDEST TO THE EASIEST HOLES ON THE CARD ON THE SIDE WE ARE PLAYING THAT EVENING. IN THE EVENT THE LATE PLAYER TEES OFF BY THE 3RD HOLE, THEN HE CAN COMPLETE THE REMAINING HOLES, BUT THE MISSED HOLES CAN NOT BE MADE UP. THE MISSED HOLES WILL BE FILLED IN USING THE PLAYERS HANDICAP AVERAGE FOR THOSE HOLES MISSED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIS IS ONLY USED FOR THE COMPUTATION OF HANDICAPS ON A WEEKLY BASIS USING THE EQUITABLE STROKE SYSTEM. WE WILL USE A 90% MULTIPLIER FOR BOTH FLIGHTS TO CALCULATE WEEKLY HANDICAPS. THE PLAYERS WILL USE THEIR ENDING HANDICAP FROM LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST THREE WEEKS. WE WILL THEN CALCULATE THE NEW HANDICAPS IN WEEK 4 WITH ALL FOUR ROUNDS INCLUDED. THEN, EACH WEEK WILL BE CALCULATED WITH THE NEW SCORES TO UPDATE THE PLAYERS HANDICAP BASED ON ALL ROUNDS PLAYED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        A.<\/strong> ANY PLAYER WITH AN ESTABLISHED HANDICAP FROM 0-9 IS ALLOWED AS MANY DOUBLE BOGEYS AS HE HAS HANDICAPPED STROKES. E.G. A 3-HANDICAP GOLFER IS ALLOWED THREE (3) DOUBLE BOGEYS. A 6-HANDICAP GOLFER IS ALLOWED SIX (6) DOUBLE BOGEYS, NOTHING HIGHER. THESE WILL BE CALCULATED FROM THE HARDEST TO EASIEST HOLE HANDICAPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        B.<\/strong> ANY GOLFER WITH A HANDICAP 10-18 IS ALLOWED AS MANY TRIPLE BOGIES AS HE HAS HANDICAP STROKES EXCEEDING 9. E.G. AN 11 HANDICAP GOLFER IS ALLOWED 2 TRIPLE BOGEYS, NOTHING HIGHER. THESE WILL BE CALCULATED FROM THE HARDEST TO EASIEST HOLE HANDICAPS.
