2018 League Rules
Gentlemen:
The match formats have reverted back to previous years. The point allocation has
changed. Each team match is worth a total of 10 points; 8 for match (close-out) and 2 for
the press. The possible choices are: team play, with the format being BEST BALL, or
BEST BALL- BEST BALL or BEST BALL – BEST BALL tie breaker or BEST BALLTOTAL
or individual match play. The lower team in the standings (at the point of equal
matches played) will have the option of selecting format or venue. The team selecting
venue must inform the opposing team of its selection 2 days in advance. In the case of
the selection of match play the selecting team will also select the matchups. Our
championship matches will be mano y mano, and the point will elevate to 8 points per
match (6 points to win match and 2 points press). Therefore there is a total of 16 points
available for each team.
The teams should flip a coin for the initial choice of venue or format.
Also, since this is team play we will allow only one match cancelation within 1 week of a
schedule match. If a teammate cannot play then the other will play the other team in a
BEST BALL format. Note we have modified this option in that the single player will
alternate playing the opposing pair. The initial start will be set up the team with the two
players.
Replacement Players:
If a player is injured and can no longer play then the other member must find a permanent
replacement with an established handicap.
If a player is injured during the match and cannot play; then the balance of the match
will be play by the remaining player against the other team. The match format will be
changed to Best Ball and the previous holes that were played will be re-scored on a best
ball format.
Handicaps:
We will be using our current handicap index. Each player will be expected to obtain a
GHIN number and maintain their own handicaps. The initial handicap should be
established by entering 10 rounds with a score/ratings and slope that generate the
appropriate index. Those entries are supplied in the accompanying page. Each player
must send me their GHIN number so I can monitor play and post the indexes to be used
for each week.
MAKE SURE ALL SCORES ARE POSTED NO LATER THEN 72 HOURS AFTER
YOU PLAY A ROUND OF GOLF. THIS MEANS ALL GOLF ROUNDS!!!!!!
IF IT IS FOUND THAT A PLAYER HAS MISSED POSTING ROUNDS THE
COMMISSIONER WILL MODIFY YOUR INDEX BY 1 FULL POINT .
Playing Rules:
(1) All matches will be played from the middles tees (white), as long as the total
yardage is greater than 6000 yards. If course is smaller than 6000 yards play from
the next furthest tees to obtain greater than 6000 yards.
(2) This year we will play the proper rules of golf, 2019 proposed rules (WHICH
WILL BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE-). Play the ball as it lies, unless weather
conditions or course conditions are poor and it is agreed before the match begins
that balls can be rolled in the fairway or cleaned and placed.
(3) If a match is interrupted (rain, darkness, whatever, etc.) and cannot be finished ;
then if less than six holes are completed the match shall not count and should be
re-scheduled and restarted at hole number 1, as if the other match never occurred.
If six or more holes have been completed then the match should be re-scheduled
for the same course and the team match ups will remain the same. The match
shall start from the point it was interrupted and the previous results will be added
to the new for a complete round.
(4) A new option has been allowed for all players 65 and older. The golfer can select
to play from the senior tees; but to do so must set his handicap based on the slope
of the senior tees and must give the opposing players on the opposite team
additional strokes based on the difference in rating (USGA Rules). Take the
difference of the two ratings and if the difference is equal to or greater than 0.5
add a stroke for each unit higher and round up at ,5. Therefore, if the rating at the
Men’s tee is 72. And the rating at the Senior tees is 70.5, the difference is 1.5 and
the Senior would have to give all Men’s tee players 2 additional strokes.
Hole in One:
This year if anyone gets a “hole in one” during our match play, he will win $100./man
but drinks are on him!!!!
Penalty
Because we have added an additional team; getting matches completed in a timely
manner will be essential! Therefore, each team must get two matches completed every
month. Any team not completing the required matches will be penalized $50./ team to be
added to our dinner fund. We will start the penalization for the end of June. Therefore,
each team must have four matched completed by June 30th!! Six by July 31st and Eight
by August 31st.
Championship
As stated before the Championship will be mano y mano and worth a total of 16 points
per match but the overall format will be different. This year there will be two brackets.
(Tie breaker for the top bracket will be head to head play during the year). The top 4
teams will compete for the following prize money
First Place $1,500.00 And Trophy
Second Place $ 600,00
Third Place $ 500.00
Fourth Place $ 400.00
The Bottom Bracket will play for $ 400.00 in a metal play format (Team Play less full
handicaps and max score of double par).
Dinner and awards will follow the matches. The playoff will held at neutral site to be
determined. The matches will be scheduled for Tuesday, September 18th with the
following days as rain outs. Wednesday and Thursday are the rain dates. These are the
dates!! Do not schedule other activities!!!!!
The entry fee is the same that being $200./ man.

2017 League Rules
Gentlemen:
The match formats are as follows. The possible choices are: team play, with the format being Best Ball, or Best Ball- Best Ball or Best Ball – Best Ball tie breaker or Best Ball – Total or individual match play. The lower team in the standings (at the point of equal matches played) will have the option of selecting format or venue. The team selecting venue must inform the opposing team of its selection 3 days in advance. In the case of the selection of match play the selecting team will also select the matchups. The team matches will be worth 8 points. The points will awarded as follows: 2 points for the winner of the front nine, 2 points for the winner of the back nine, 2 points for the winner of the eighteen and a 2 point press for the eighteen. Halves on any phase will award one point to each team. If the match is won on the eighteenth hole then the press points are awarded to the winner. In other words, there is always 8 points in play. **With regards to the Best Ball- Best Ball format; the team that gets the most points for each phase (front nine, back nine and eighteen) wins the phase and the associated match points; such as win the front nine get 2 points, etc. Our championship matches will be mano y mano, and each match will be worth a total of 8 points, 2 points front nine, 2 points back nine, 2 points eighteen and 2 points press. Therefore there is a total of 16 points available for each team during the championship.
Any ties in positioning should be decided by head to head play. If its still a tie then a flip of a coin will be warranted at the champioship!
The teams should flip a coin for the initial choice of venue or format.
Also, since this is team play we will allow only one match cancelation within 1 week of a schedule match. If a teammate can not play then the other will play the other team in a BEST BALL format.
Replacement Players:
If a player is injured and can no longer play then the other member must find a permanent replacement with an established handicap.
If a player is injured during the match and can not play; then the balance of the match will be play by the remaining player against the other team. The match format will be changed to Best Ball and the previous holes that were played will be re-scored on a best ball format.
Handicaps:
We will be using our current handicap index. Each player will be expected to obtain a GHIN number and maintain their own handicaps. The initial handicap should be established by entering 10 rounds with a score/ratings and slope that generate the appropriate index. Those entries are supplied in the accompanying page. Each player must send me their GHIN number so I can monitor play and post the indexes to be used for each week.

The possible choices are: team play, with the format being BEST BALL, or BEST BALL- BEST BALL or BEST BALL – BEST BALL tie breaker or individual match play. The lower team in the standings (at the point of equal matches played) will have the option of selecting format or venue. The team selecting venue must inform the opposing team of its selection 1 day in advance. In the case of the selection of match play the selecting team will also select the matchups. The team matches will be worth 22. The points will awarded as follows: 1 point for each hole won, ˝ point for tied holes and the match winner get 4 additional points. If you play individual matches the points would be divided in half so the total 22 points available remain intact. **With regards to the Best Ball- Best Ball format; the team that gets the most points on any particular hole wins the hole for the match score. If a particular team wins 2 points, 1 ˝ points , or 1 point on a hole they would win the hole for the match score. Our championship matches will be mano y mano, and in this case ˝ point for each hole won but the winner of the match gets an additional 6 points. Therefore the two matches (team total) are worth a possible 30 points.
