Handicap®. Maximum Course Handicap is 18 for men, 24 for women.

website).
Summer rules: Play the ball as it lies everywhere.
Stableford scoring: Record each player’s gross
score on each hole, and total the score for each nine. Do not write anything else on your scorecard. The
tournament director will calculate the Stableford points.
Net bogey=1 point
Net par=2 points
Net birdie=3 points
Net eagle=4 points
Net albatross=5 points
Pick up: Players will receive no points for any score
higher than a net bogey. Players are expected to pick up if their gross
total on a hole will be higher than a double bogey (exception for several
women who will get an extra stroke on up to six holes). Record an X with
the Most Likely Score, e.g., X-7. Unless you are picking up, every ball
must be holed.
Turn in scorecard: Players must personally return their scorecards and remain at the scorer’s table
until the card has been reviewed and accepted. The competitor should
verify the score after each hole and settle any doubtful points with the
tournament director prior to signing the scorecard.

the tournament. You may call me with a question on the Rules of Golf or for an
emergency. Blue Heron pro shop: (609) 965-1800.
Posting Scores: Do not post your scores. Scores will

Rule 3-3: If you are doubtful of the correct
procedure, and you can’t reach me on your cell phone, you may complete the hole
playing two balls (Rule 3-3).
Arrival: Allow enough time to register and arrive at
the first tee ten minutes prior to your starting time. There is a
practice putting green, chipping area, bunker, and driving range (complimentary
balls).
Pace of Play tips: (expected pace is under 4 hours
and 30 minutes)
1. Park your carts at the back of the green so that
following players can hit as soon as you leave the green.
2. Record your score when you arrive at the next tee.
3. Hit a provisional if your ball may be lost or out of
bounds.
4. Men: Double bogey max. Pick up. Scores higher than double
bogey earn no points.
5. Women: Double bogey max and triple bogey max on some
holes for players whose tournament handicap is higher than 18. Pick up when you
reach the max.
