Please read
all information carefully, and print a copy for your use at the tournament.
Since this is a shotgun, there will be no opportunity to explain all of the
rules prior to play. If you have any questions, e-mail or call me now.
Important Information
Specific to Linwood
•
PLAN TO ARRIVE BY 9:30. Put your name on your bag. Leave bag at
bag drop. Register at the JustGolf table as soon as you arrive.
•
Be at your cart by 10:15.
•
Range: Leave your bag on your cart. Take a selection of clubs and walk to the
range. You may not take your cart to the range. Range balls are free.
•
Siren: If the siren sounds it is mandatory to leave the course immediately.
•
Snack shop and restaurant may not be open. Please bring your own snacks
•
Cart rules: Carts may be driven anywhere except near tees and greens. Exit
fairways at signs. Do not ride over
curbs. Stay on cart path from green to tee.
•
Bathrooms located in the snack shop (accessible from holes 10, 11, and 13) and
in the clubhouse.
•
If you pick up you will be WD from the championship, but will continue to
compete in the BB. Record an X plus your most likely score (e.g., X-6).
•
Environmentally sensitive areas are marked by signs and red lines on holes #7,
8, and 11. DO NOT ENTER TO RETRIEVE OR HIT YOUR BALL. Drop within two
club-lengths of margin no closer to hole and add one penalty stroke to your
score.
•
If your partner arrives late, he may join you between holes.
• Lift, clean, and place
within 12” in closely-mown areas (fairways, aprons, dew paths). Subject to
change, so listen to the starter’s instructions.
Scorecards
•
Record GROSS SCORE for each player.
If you pick up, record X plus your most likely score (I must have a number so
that I can post your score).
•
Write GROSS scores on the first two
lines only. You may record your own scores on the bottom two lines of the
scorecard (between “Par” and “Silver”).
•
Write in pencil only, and use an eraser to make corrections. I will probably not
be able to score at the tournament – your scorecard must be legible.
•
Please add your scores. You may record your gross total on the scoreboard in pencil; and your better ball net (if
you want to calculate it), also in
pencil.
•
Sign your card. If there are any errors, I will call you. You will not be DQ’d
for an incorrect scorecard – we will correct errors on the phone.
DO NOT POST YOUR SCORE. I
WILL POST THE SCORES.
