RULES & GENERAL INFORMATION
ELIGIBILITY – OPEN TO CALUMET GROVE RESIDENTS ONLY. Each team must be a man and a woman.
COST – Each team will play with the team and in the month specified on the schedule sheet. The fee for each team is $2 upon playing and the money collected from each match will be used for prize money.
PAIRINGS & DATES – Each team (two couples) is responsible for organizing their matches and arranging the tee times. The matches must be played within the month and on the course specified. Mark your scorecard with the date of the match.
SUBSTITUTES – If you can not play your scheduled match, contact your paired couple as soon as possible to let them know. They may then arrange to play with a substitute. To arrange a substitute, first call someone on the Substitute List. If no one on the Substitute List is available, you may arrange with anyone on the league team list that you haven't played with in the past year. Only a man may sustitiute for a man; only a woman may substitute for a woman.
PLAY FORMAT – The format for each match is a 4 player scramble, two men and two women. Men tee off from the middle tee; women tee off from the front tee. Each player hits a shot from each tee. One ball is selected as the best tee shot and everyone plays their next shot from there (if not on the green within 1 club length, no closer to the hole; if on the green, within one ball width, no closer to the hole). Each player continues to hit from the position of the best shot until the ball is holed.
DRIVES – Within a match, 1 tee shot must be used from each player. No more than 3 tee shots may be used from each player in a match. The scorecard must indicate whose tee shot was used for each hole. Women always use the front tee; men always use the middle tee.
PLAY AS IT LIES – If the ball you choose to play is in a divot, you may move it out of the divot, no closer to the hole. Otherwise, the chosen tee shot should be played as it lies. Other players may place a ball within 1 club length, no closer to the hole., You may not improve the lie when moving or placing a ball; e.g. from rough to fairway or from a hazard to out of the hazard. If the chosen ball is in a bunker or hazard, the person that hit that ball shall play first. The remaining players then place a ball and play. In all other cases, players may take their turns in any order.
COURSES – We will alternate play on Walnut Grove, Briarwood, Oakleigh, and Amberwood as indicated on the Schedule..
SCORECARDS – Signed scorecards and the $4 match fee must be turned in by the end of the scheduled month (see Team Pairs ) at 7816 SE 168th Lone Oak Loop. A basket and envelopes is provided in the vestibule for this purpose. The scorecard should indicate the Team Numbers, the date of play and be initialed by one player from each team.
SCORING - The winner and runner-up will be determined by lowest Total Score. A tie will be broken by the lowest score on the 9th hole, then the 8th hole ... etc. until the tie is broken. Scorecards not complying with the rule for drives or having a scoring discrepancy will be disqualified. Winners will be notified and may pick up winnings at Connie LaChance's home (7816 SE 168th Lone Oak Loop ).
