Scoring for Stableford
• Aggregate scoring: Both players’ Stableford
points will count.
• Men: Double bogey max. If
you score higher than double bogey, you will not earn any Stableford points.
Please pick up if your score will be higher than a double bogey. Record an X
plus your most likely score.
• Women: Double bogey max on
holes where you have one dot, triple bogey max for two dots. Please pick up if your
score will be higher than triple bogey. Record an X plus your most likely
score.
• Record gross score only for each player.
• Leave the rest of the
scorecard blank.
Use a separate card for your own scores.
• Add each player’s front
nine, back nine, and total (optional, but very helpful).
• All four players in
each group must
submit the two scorecards to the
tournament director together and
remain in the scoring area until the card is reviewed.
DO NOT POST YOUR SCORE.
LINDA WILL POST THE SCORES.
Tournament Information
• Sign in at the registrar’s
table outside the pro shop as soon as you arrive.
• Range: The range is a long
trek from the clubhouse. If you plan to hit balls, arrive extra early or
fuhgeddaboudit.
• Food: The cart girl will have
hot dogs, sandwiches, chips, and drinks. The snack bar adjacent to the pro shop
will carry the same. You do not return to the clubhouse at any time, so stock
up before you head for the first tee.
• Arrive at the first tee ten
minutes before your tee time.
• Cart rules: 90º, unless starter
tells you otherwise.
• Bathrooms are accessible from
Holes #5, 9, and 13.
• Pace of play: Please maintain a good
pace of play. Keep pace with the group
ahead of you.
• Play the ball down
everywhere!
Local Rules
Out of bounds: Defined by white
stakes.
All boundary fences are
OB: No
free relief from OB fence (one-stroke penalty: drop within two club-lengths
or return to previous spot and hit again).
Stones in bunkers: Loose impediments; you
may remove any near your ball.
Course care: Please repair ball
marks, fix divots, and rake bunkers.
Lateral water hazards: Defined by red stakes
(Hole #8, right side).
Native grass rule: If a ball comes to
rest in the native grass (the dense stuff that is as tall or taller than you
are, not the fescue), treat it as a
lateral hazard (one-stroke penalty; drop within two club-lengths, no closer to
the hole).
Course Information
Tees: Blue tees for men; White
tees for seniors; Gold tees for women
Yardage markers: 150-yard post, which is
always a good target. The posts are movable obstructions – lift them out if
they interfere with your shot. Don’t forget to replace them.
Hole location: Chart on cart. Ask the
starter for the day’s number.
Advice for playing
Seaview:
•
Accuracy is far more important than distance. The holes are not exceptionally
long, but the rough is particularly punishing.
•
Play a provisional if you hit into the fescue. If you find your ball in a poor
lie in the fescue, give serious consideration to declaring it unplayable
(one-stroke penalty, drop within two club-lengths or hit another ball under
stroke and distance).
•
Approach shots: Bump-and-run is a good idea from the fairway. If you are in the
rough, carry the ball onto the green – short shots are unlikely to run onto the
green.
Hole information
#5: There is a carry bunker in front of the green.
#6: At the end of the fairway there is a section of short rough.
#7: No drop area. Men only: if your tee shot does not clear the water, you
must re-tee. Your second shot from the tee will count as your third shot on the
hole.
#8: Lateral hazard on right. Tall, native grass is in the hazard.
#10: Dogleg left. The green is behind the bunkers on the left.
#12: Dogleg right. Aim tee shot left of center.
#16: A long, narrow bunker runs along the side of the fescue on the right.
This bunker is not visible from the men’s tee.
