JustGolf Handicap Chart Notice

I will use the May 15 handicap revision to calculate your tournament handicaps for Wednesday’s tournament at Shore Gate. Since I won’t be able to access the revision until Monday (I will be away on Sunday), the Tournament Handicap Chart that I always post in advance of each tournament will arrive in your inbox very last minute. You will be able to view the chart if you look at the website on Tuesday evening (http://justgolftournaments.blogspot.com). I will also have a hard copy at the tournament registration desk for your review.

Applications for the Better Ball tournament at McCullough’s on June 15 will be available at the registrar’s table. You may submit the completed application (including the $57 fee, check or cash) to the registrar or to the scorer at the end of your round, or take it home and mail it to me at your leisure. The application will be posted on the website shortly.

Shore Gate Scramble Rules, Local Rules, and Course Information

Please read and print for reference on the course.

Scramble Rules, Scorecards, and General Information
1. You must use 7 tee shots from each player (par 3 holes included).
2. Each player tees off on each hole. Select one tee shot and both players play their second shots from that spot, and so on, until the ball is holed. Once the ball is holed, the score for that hole is final, so be sure to mark your ball on the green if your partner has not yet putted.
3. Once you select the shot to be used, place a marker on the ground. The next shot by both players must be hit from within 12 inches of that marker, no closer to the hole. You may not use the 12 inches to improve your condition.
4. Record one score for each hole.
5. There are no gimmies; hole every ball.
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.
• $2 of your tournament fee will be used to tip the bag handlers.
DO NOT POST YOUR SCORE. SCORES IN A SCRAMBLE ARE UNACCEPTABLE FOR POSTING.

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 will compete from the Gold tees.
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.

#10: 168 yards to left bunker, 182 to carry. (Red: 124 to bunker, 138 to carry.) 205 yards to right bunker (161 from Red).

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.
