GAMES AND THE PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO EACH
Closest to the Hole. On Holes #11 and #!3 the winner is the player who's first ball landed on the green and is closest to the hole. Measure from the edge of the hole to the edge of the golf ball.
Hole in One. If during regular Wednesday competition an Active Member makes a hole in one, the club pays him $100 in addition to any closest to the hole award.
Individual Games
Best Nine. Select between the front or back 9 and put that down as your gross score. Subtract 1/2 your Course Handicap (CH) and put that down as your net score. Keep your individual gross score for all holes as your score will be posted.
Throw Out One Hole per Side. Keep your individual gross score for all holes as your score will be posted and total the gross score. From the gross score, select one hole on each sided and subtract the total scores on those two hole and your CH handicap to
arrive at you net score.
Four Club. Players may only carry and use the same four clubs for the entire round. Low net score wins.
Stableford. Unlike most games, the highest total score wins. Scored hole by hole using a player's CH. The value of each hole is as follows: Net bogey is 1 point, Net par is 2 points, Net birdie is 3 points, Net eagle 4 points Net double eagle 5 points. Total your hole scores. High score wins.
Putts. Count all strokes taken once the ball is on the putting green, keeping track hole by hole separately from any other game being played. Two places paid out to players with the lowest number of putts.
Team Games
Best Ball. Two Man Best Ball Teams will consist of two players, each playing their own ball. The lowest individual net score between the teammates counts as the team score for that hole and is kept on a separate line as the team score. The team with the lowest net score for
the 18-holes wins. A players net score is calculated using the players TEAM handicap for that hole. On the scorecard, have a line for each player and a line for the team score.Circle the gross score of the player whose score is used. Write down the 18 hole total of
the individual players and the team. If you are in a threesome and don't have a partner, keep track of your gross score. You will be matched with another player or, if none, a partner will be picked using a blind draw and the Committee will compute your team
score.
Scramble. In our scramble format, teams typically consist of two to four players. Each player hits their tee shot on every hole, and the team then selects, subject to the limitations that follow, the best shot to play from for the next stroke. For a 2 man scramble a minimum of 7 tee shots of each player must be used on any of the 18 holes; 4 man - 4 tee shots; 3man – 5 tee shots. This process continues until the ball is holed. You may lift, clean & place 1 club length, no nearer hole, from the shot selected. If the shot selected is in the rough, you must play from the rough even if 1 club length might get you to the fairway.If in a hazard or bunker it can not be moved out of the hazard or bunker. Nor can it beused to put a ball on the green if it lies elsewhere. When the ball is on the green, mark itso that each person putts from where the ball came to rest. Scores of 3 man teams will be adjusted up 4 strokes if they are in a flight of 2 man teams or down 4 strokes if in a flight of 4 man teams. The average of the TEAM handicap of all players is deducted from the gross score to arrive at the net score. Cards shall show all teams and; show tees played; handicaps for each player; and show the gross and net score.
Shamble. A shamble is a hybrid tournament that is part scramble, part best ball. Each player tees off like a scramble but things change once the best tee shot is selected. The ball can be lifted, cleaned and placed just like in a scramble, but then each golfer plays their own ball, where it lies, for the rest of the hole. The team score for that hole is the score of the player with the lowest individual net score using his TEAM handicap. As with Best Ball, handicaps are taken hole by hole. Circle the gross score of the player whose score is used. Minimum number of drives required of each player are just like a Scramble as is the requirement to designate whose drive was used. Add the net scores for the 18 holes for the total team score. If a three man team is flighted with 2 man teams, we will add two strokes to the three man team score.
Stableford. Stableford can also be a team game by selecting the highest score of each team member for each hole and totaling the results.
Club Championship. The Club Championship is a two week tournament from the Gold tees only. There will be a Gross and Net Club Champion. All members playing during that two weeks will be in the concurrent tournaments. One Champion will be the man with the lowest gross score and one will be the man with the lowest net score. If there is a tie for first place in the Gross tournament, there will be an eighteen hole playoff. Ties for other places will be decided as provided in the Rules. Cash awards will be paid to the first three places in the Gross tournament and first six places in the Net tournament.
President's Cup. The President's Cup is single elimination match play over several weeks depending upon the number of players. Using the net score of each player, hole by hole, the card must show the winner and ties of each hole. You can not play out of turn unless your opponent allows it. If tied at the end of 18 holes, the winner will be determined by sudden death. Third place will be a tie between the losers of the semi-final matches. The top four places will receive award money. Everyone playing the first week of the Tournament will play as there will be no alternative event for the first week.
