Shore Gate Better Ball Rules, Local Rules, and Course Information

Please read and print for reference on the course.

Scorecards and General Information
• Play the ball down.
Record gross score for each player. If you pick up, record X plus your most likely score (Linda must have a number so that she can post your score).
Total each player’s individual score.
One member of each team must personally return the scorecard to the tournament director and remain in the scoring area until the card is reviewed.
• Maintain a good pace of play. Keep up with the players in front of you.
• Tipping is optional. $2 of your tournament fee will be used to tip the bag handlers.
DO NOT POST YOUR SCORE. LINDA WILL POST THE SCORES.

Local Rules
• Repair divots with divot mix stored on cart.
• Environmentally sensitive areas are marked by red posts with green tops. Do not enter. Play as lateral hazards.
• Natural sand areas (no rakes provided) are played as through the green. You may ground your club.
• Flags on greens for hole location: Red (front), White (middle), Blue (back).
• Yardage measured to center of green: sprinkler heads, cart path, disks (Red=100, White=150, Blue=200, Yellow=250).
• Cart rules: For those holes where carts are permitted on the fairway, cart must be driven only on the fairway. Do not drive or park in the rough. If you have a health issue, the course will provide a handicap flag.
• Barber poles are placed on several holes at the 150-yard marker to let you know where to aim your drive.

Tees
Men who chose the Standard tees will play from the Gold tees. Men who chose the Forward tees will play from the Gold tees except on the following holes, where they will play from the Red tees: 2, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 17, and 18. If you forget to move up to the Red tees, your ball is in play from the Gold – you may not move up and hit a second tee shot.
Women will compete from the Red tees.

Specific hole information 
#1: Dogleg left. 230 yards to bunker (193 from Red).
#4: 200 yards to twin bunkers on right (170 from Red). 234 yards to bunker on left (202 from Red). Environmental hazard on left–play as lateral hazard.
#5: Full-service bathroom to left of green.
#6: Series of bunkers on left, starting 100 yards from green. Near the green, a thin strip of fairway runs along the right side of the bunkers all the way to the green.

Look to land your ball near the 100-yard marker. The grass bunker is 15 yards past the 100-yard marker. The entire left side is an environmental hazard that starts at the tree line – do not enter, drop a ball within two club-lengths or hit a ball from where you hit your previous shot, one-stroke penalty.
