Rain Dates
If, we cancel play due to
rain, an email will be set off to the league.
If you do not have access to email, please make a call to one of the
league officers. When the weather is in
doubt, we will meet at the course and decide there whether we will play. Any make-up rounds will be added to the end
of the season before the Championship week.
Handicaps (hcp)
Handicaps will be calculated
weekly as follows: we will use your six most recent league scores, discard the
highest, and average the remaining five sores t determine your new
handicap. Each player will be ‘seeded’
with a starting handicap. For returning
players, your handicap will be continued from last season.
Scoring
We will be playing a
combination of match and stroke play. Each hole will be won by you, or won by your
opponent, or in a tie, halved. Strokes
will be given on each hole based on the difference between your handicap and
that of your opponent. The person with
the most holes won at the end of the nine holes, wins the match and gets one
point; a tie for holes won will result in each player winning ½ point. In addition, one point will be awarded to the
lowest combined net scored between you and your opponent; a tie in net score
results in each player winning ½ point.
Finally, a team point will be awarded to the lowest combined net score
between the two teams; a tie in total net score results in each team winning ½
team point. This results in a total of
five points being played for by each team during each week of league play.
Maximum Score per hole
Maximum score for the hole is
four over par. That is, a seven on a par
three, an eight on a par four, and a nine on a par five.
Playing against ‘Dummy’
If you happen not to play
against an opponent, you will be matched against the ‘Dummy’ golfer. How to beat ‘Dummy’: I add a stroke to the
two highest handicap holes for that round. For example, ‘Dummy’ always has a
zero handicap and if par for the nine holes (front nine at Airways) is
thirty-six, then ‘Dummy’ will shoot a gross thirty-eight with a net thirty-eight. If your handicap is a sixteen and you shoot a
fifty-three (gross), then your net will be a thirty-seven. You will beat
‘Dummy’ by one in stroke play. For match
play, it will depend on who won the hole.
Yellow Tees
*New this year – Yellow Tees
– You can use the Yellow Tees if:
- Over 70
- Have a disability
Our hcp system can not handle
switching from tee to tee. So if you are
to use it, start the first week.
MVP
There will be an MVP for the
League. It will be based on total points
won during the season. Tie breakers are
TBD:
1. record
between tying player if they played each other
2. who would
have won if they played each other on the last day
3. comparison
of cards on the last day (first hole someone should have won starting from the
last hole played)
Slow Play
Keep your foursomes moving,
from hole to hole in a reasonable amount of time. If you reach the maximum number of strokes
for a hole, please pick up and go to the next hole. For a lost ball, spend a couple of minutes
looking then drop another and continue.
Play heads up golf; each member of a foursome should go to their ball
and be ready to hit their next shot.
