Please print and bring to the tournament.
Tees:
Men playing the
standard tees (White) will move up to the Green tees on the following holes: 1,
3, 7, 13, 14, 18. This will be marked on your card. If you tee off from the
White tees on those holes, that ball is in play. You may not hit a second drive
from the Green tees.
Format:
• Better ball, holes #1-6. Each competitor plays his own ball. Record both scores unless you pick
up because you are out of a hole (strongly recommended). Play the ball down.
Free relief from aeration holes on fairway on holes #1 and 2 (lift and
place next to hole). Free relief from GUR on fairways (any large area with no
grass – drop within one club-length of the NPR no closer to the hole) and divot
holes (drop as close as possible to divot, no closer to the hole).
• Scramble, holes #7-12. Both players tee off. Select the shot you want to play, and both players
hit from that spot. Continue in this manner until the ball is holed. Once the
ball is holed your score is official, so be sure to mark your ball on the green
if your partner has not yet putted.
After you decide
which shot you will play, mark the spot with a tee or ball marker. Each player
must place the ball within one foot of that tee no closer to the hole and play
his next shot. YOU MAY NOT USE THE ONE FOOT TO IMPROVE YOUR LIE (stay in the
rough, in a bunker, behind a tree, OB, on the apron of the green, etc.).
• Selected drive–alternate shot, holes #13-18. Both partners tee off. Select which drive
you will play, and alternate hitting that ball to the hole. If you select A’s
drive, then B will hit the next shot, A will hit the third shot, etc. Note: You
MAY NOT switch balls to play your own preferred brand, including for putting. Play
the ball down.
Disqualification: If you play the wrong format on any hole the team will be disqualified.
The format for each six holes is noted on your scorecard. Signs on the seventh
and thirteenth holes will remind you of the format.
Time of starting: If your partner is late, you must start without him at your assigned tee
time. Since the first six holes are a better ball, and the next six are a
scramble, your partner may join you as late as the start of Hole #13. If you
have begun play of a hole, your partner will begin play at the start of the
next hole.
Course Information:
• Out of Bounds: Marked by white stakes and boundary fence posts.
• Do not
enter the vineyards or other environmentally protected areas.
• Environmentally sensitive areas: Red stakes with white tops indicate
environmentally sensitive areas where entry is not permitted. A ball
coming to rest in these areas may not be searched for and must be abandoned.
Relief options are the same as for a lateral water hazard.
• Dirt cart paths: There is no free relief from dirt cart paths.
• Drop areas:
You may NOT use the drop areas on holes #3 and #13.
• Bathrooms:
Portables near holes 3, 6, 14, 15, and behind halfway house.
• Hole location: chart on cart.
• Yardage markers (to center of green): sprinkler heads; red, white, and blue disks (100,
150, 200).
• Carts:
drive onto fairways, remain on fairways, exit fairways at signs. Do not drive
or park in rough.
• Repair divots with divot mix on cart. Rake bunkers.
• Best advice:
Greens are quick – stay below the hole.
• Practice putting
green; no driving range.
