Town & Country Handicap Calculation

*Maximum Course Handicap: men – 18; women – 24

Explanation:

Each player's Course Handicap is based on a slope rating of 121 (men), 117 (senior and 20+), 115 (women).

The CH Adjustment is based on points accumulated in prior tournaments for first second, or third place net finishes (see the Handicap Adjustment Chart on the JustGolf website).

Men competing from the senior tees will additionally lose 1.5 points, the difference in the Course Rating (69.7–68.2=1.5).

Men receive 90% of Course Handicap; Women receive 95% of Course Handicap.

Town & Country Rules and Course Information

Please print and bring to the tournament.

Tournament Rules

• The Rules of the USGA govern play.

• All JustGolf Local Rules are in effect.

• Format: Mixed Better Ball

   a. Please pick up if you are out of the hole.

   b. Every ball that will count must be holed. Absolutely no gimmes.

Local Rules

1. Out of bounds: Defined by white stakes and split rail fences. Note: There is no free relief from OB fences or markers. You must take an unplayable and assess yourself a penalty stroke if you choose to take relief.

2. Environmental hazards: Note signs and red/green stakes indicating environmental hazard on left of Hole #2. Do not enter or play from this area. Treat as lateral hazard – drop within two club-lengths of where your ball crossed the margin and count one penalty stroke.

3. Carts: Cart path only on all Par 3’s and holes 15 and 17. On all other holes, enter the fairway at 90 degrees and keep cart on fairway. 

DO NOT RIDE IN THE ROUGH OR ON MOUNDS.

4. Course care:  Please repair ball marks and divots and rake traps.

5. Stones in bunkers: Stones in bunkers may be removed.

6. Pace of play: 15 minutes per hole average, 4 1/2 hours total. Rangers may monitor your play if you fall behind.

7. Cell phones: Turn off. Call pro shop for emergencies: (856) 769-8333

Course Information

Yardage markers: Fairway posts measured to center of green:

Yellow (250), Blue (200), White (150), Red (100).

Hole locations: Green flag-Front; White flag-Middle; Yellow flag-Back

Fescue, tall grass, ornamental grass: Hit a provisional every time you hit a ball into these problem areas.

Drop areas:

#13: near Green tee box for men; women must re-tee

#14 and #16: Free drop in drop area if tunnel/safety fence interferes with your swing, stance, or line-of sight.

Driving range is out of bounds.

Yardage card: Note that the back of your scorecard has detailed pictures of each hole, including location of hazards and distances.

DO NOT DRIVE OR PARK YOUR CART ON THE HILLS OR IN THE ROUGH.

#1: Hit a provisional if your ball is in the hills at the left or at the end of the dogleg. Distance to end of dogleg: Blue-265; White-230; Green-130.

#2: Choose a club you can hit straight. There is an environmental hazard on the left (do not enter, treat as a lateral hazard: two club-length relief plus one penalty stroke) and trouble on the right. Hit a provisional for any ball hit to the right. Distance to end of fairway before drop-off into waste bunker: Blue-235; Green-160. You may ground your club in the waste bunker.

#3: Trouble along left side all the way to 150 marker. Also OB on left.

Port-a-John on the right as you cross road to get to #4 tee.

#5: Bunker crossing fairway behind 150 marker is a waste area. You may ground your club. Hit a provisional if your drive goes into the high grass on the left or into the ornamental grasses crossing the fairway.

#6: Port-a-John at #6 tee. Drainage ditch to left of path is a lateral hazard.

#7: Aim your tee shot between the 150 marker and the bunker to the left.

#9: 30 yards past the 150 marker ground drops down towards the water.

Please use bathroom in building right of the cart path, near 250 marker. You will save time by not having to walk up to the clubhouse and climb stairs. There is also a Port-a-John to the left of the #10 Gold tee box.

#10: Aim your drive at the yardage markers. Waste area right of 250 marker.

#12: Lateral hazard on left is not environmental. Ignore the sign. You may enter to retrieve or hit a ball. The margin of the hazard is the cut line.

#13: Men may use the drop area to the right of the forward tee box. Add one penalty stroke to your score. Women must re-tee if ball enters water. There is no legal drop area across the water.

Bathrooms on the right just before #14 tee (same building as on hole 9).

#16: Green has three tiers.

#18: Distance from forward tees to lake is 153 yards. Ladies, drive with caution.

Rules Issues

Several rules violations were brought to my attention after the Ramblewood tournament. Let’s take a look at these rules so that everyone will understand them and stay out of trouble.

Preferred lies

When preferred lies are in effect, players are permitted to mark, lift, clean, and place the ball within 12 inches, no closer to the hole. You may place the ball only once. As soon as you place it, it is in play. If you move it a second time, you have moved your ball in play (one-stroke penalty), and the ball must be replaced.

If you fail to mark the position of the ball before you lift it, or you move the ball with your club instead of lifting it, you incur a one-stroke penalty.

The rule entitles you to mark, lift, clean, and place – that is exactly how you must proceed if you decide to move your ball.

Holing out

Every JustGolf tournament is a stroke play event. Every ball that will count towards a player’s or a team’s score must be holed. No putt is ever to be conceded. If a player fails to hole out, and does not correct the error before teeing off on the next hole, he is disqualified.

There is no penalty for playing out of turn. If your putt finishes so close to the hole that you have an easy tap-in, there is no reason to waste everyone’s time by marking and lifting the ball. Just be careful not to step in someone else’s line.

Fixing a damaged hole

If there is damage on the edge of the hole that has clearly been caused by the impact of a ball (a ball mark), the player is entitled to fix it before putting.

If there is minor damage to the hole, but it still has the basic appearance of a hole, you may not fix the damage or try to smooth out the hole before you putt. The penalty for doing so is two strokes under Rule 16-1a. It is good etiquette to fix the hole, but do not do so until everyone in your group has completed play.

Touching the line of putt

You may repair an old hole plug or fix ball marks on the green. Nothing else! Any other damage should not be repaired until everyone in the group has finished play of the hole.

If you fix damage on your line of putt that is not an old hole plug or a ball mark, the penalty is two strokes. Players who are in the habit of tamping down the grass in front of their ball on their line of putt are violating the rules and should be assessed a two-stroke penalty.

You are permitted to touch your line of putt to remove loose impediments, but do so carefully – if you press anything down in the process the penalty is two strokes.

The USGA has put together a series of short videos explaining the most common rules – loose impediments, water hazards, movable and immovable obstructions, nearest point of relief, abnormal ground conditions, unplayable balls, and playing the course as you find it. These are excellent videos, and I would highly recommend that everyone find a few minutes to watch them. Here is the link: http://www.usga-rules.com
