Rules

All Putts Must Go In

There will be 3 exceptions to this rule:

During the Irish Rumble Game Format, only if your teammates have already recorded a better or equal score and your net score cannot factor into the stableford point total for your team OR if you reach NET double bogey.
During the ERADO Game Format, only if you announce you are erasing the hole prior to picking up. Please remember the last hole can't be erased.
If you reach a maximum score of NET quadruple bogey (7 on a par 3's, 8 on par 4's, or 9 on a par 5's).

No gimme's are allowed regardless if an opponent is willing to give the putt.

When in doubt, putt it out.

Allowable Clubs

Standard 14 clubs will be allowed in your bag. If you are found to have more than 14 clubs in your bag, you will be penalized 2 strokes for the round in which you were caught cheating.

Penalty Strokes

We will play laterals in all cases to keep pace of play.

For out of bounds or RED stake water hazards: a lateral drop should be taken where agreed upon by all players in the foursome and a 1-stroke penalty assessed (i.e. If lost on your tee shot, the player will be playing his 3rd shot wherever the ball last crossed from in-play to out-of-play OR the player may choose to re-tee). For YELLOW stake hazards, you must re-tee or use the designated drop zone.

Please receive verbal confirmation of the placement of your drop from an opposing player before hitting the ball.

If a lateral is not possible due to the layout of the hole please follow course rules concerning hazards, drop zones, etc.

If you can't find your ball within a fair amount of time, a lateral drop with a 1-stroke penalty should be taken. In these cases, please determine approximately where your ball may have come to rest, measure a one club distance from where the rough meets the fescue/out-of-bounds and take a lateral drop that is agreed upon by all players in the foursome.

If there are no view-able markers for a specific hazards, a player may play his ball as it lies if the ball is found.

Play It As It Lies

This should go without saying, but PLAY IT AS IT LIES. Improving any lie will incur a 1 stroke penalty. Regular rules apply in regards to relief from cart path, man-made obstructions, sprinkler heads, etc.
