Competition Rules

EVERY TEAM MUST USE TWO DRIVES FROM EACH PLAYER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS RULE WILL RESULT IN TEAM DISQUALIFICATION. 

All tournament play is governed by USGA rules, except where covered by local rules.

Each player will hit a shot from the tee. The team determines the best tee shot and all players play their second shot from that spot. Once the team has determined the tee shot that will be used, all balls must be placed within one club length of where the original ball laid, no closer to the hole. In the event the tee shot ends on the green, all balls must be placed as close as possible to the original ball. In the event the tee shot lands in a hazard, the original ball must be played as it lies and the other players may place their ball within one club length. Lie cannot be improved e.g. balls in the rough or hazard must remain in the rough or hazard and balls cannot move from fringe onto the green. After the tee shot, each player plays their own ball (normal stroke play) from there until it is holed. The ball is played lift clean and place in your own fairway only after the tee shot. 

Record all players’ GROSS SCORES ONLY on the scorecard. The two best net scores on the hole will be the team score. If a player determines his score on a hole cannot help the team he should pick up to speed play.

During the course of play if you are in doubt as to how to proceed under a rule, play a second ball under USGA rule 3-3, make sure to declare which ball you wish to score with if the rules allow, and bring it up for a ruling with the tournament committee immediately following the round (this is required). The committee’s decision is final.

Distance Measuring Devices- Allowable under 2019 USGA rules. Player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only, not elevation, wind-speed, club selection, etc. These functions must be turned off. The penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional functions were actually used.

Relief from Embedded Ball– In general areas, a ball that is embedded in its own pitch-mark in the ground, other than sand, may be lifted without penalty, cleaned and dropped (knee height), as near as possible to where it lay but not nearer the hole.

Exceptional Score Policy – In accordance with association policy.

Tie Breaking Procedures - In accordance with association policy.
