Monday, May 10th, 2010 and will consist of nine regular season games with three weeks of playoffs begining July 12th (barring any weather cancellations). If a Monday game is rained out, the game will be played on the following Monday at 5:30 pm sharp. See: Weather Cancellations.

WHERE:

Divisions will alternate play on front nine to back nine every week.

COST:

Registration fee of $30.00 per player and $180.00 for green fees for the nine game season. You can also pre-pay your playoff games for an addtional $60. If you aren't in the playoffs you can win it all back in the texas scrambles. All fees due by May 3, 2010. Entries accepted by cheque prior to April 15th, and by credit card or cash between April 15th and May 3rd at the Clubhouse in person or by phone.

MULLIGAN JAR:

The mulligan jar will be available at the clubhouse front desk on Monday evenings prior to the first tee-off. The cost of $1.00 buys your mulligan which is only eligible on tee offs for that evening of play. Proceeds from the mulligan jar will go into the cash prize fund. One mulligan per player allowed. No mulligans permitted during playoffs.

BIRDIE BOARD:

Cash prizes will be offered to 1st and 2nd place finishes for front and back nines. Entry into the Birdie Board competition must be declared and paid for by the second week of play. Entry fee is $10.00. Please indicate your full name on score cards. Birdie contest runs only during the regular season play, and will not be counted until the second week of play to balance the front and back nines.

TEAMS:

Teams will consist of two players using handicaps from last year. League is divided into four divisions, Division A,B,C, and D.

SPARES:

We are allowing players to find there own spares. Each spare will play at a six (6) handicap and their handicap will not be adjusted during the season. Keep in mind that at least one original team member must be present for the match. You cannot send two spares or the match will be considered forfeit. Spares are allowed in the TEXAS SCRAMBLE games during the playoffs.

SCORING:

To win hole a team must have a lower number of strokes than their opposition. Handicaps do affect the score of your team. The team with the lower total handicap must 'give' strokes to the higher handicapped team. The number of strokes 'given' is the difference between the team handicaps. You give strokes from toughest hole to easiest hole. If you must give more than 9 strokes you simply start the sequence again until all the strokes have been given. This is the order of the holes to give strokes on for each nine (F9: 8,6,3,9,7,1,2,4,5 / B9: 10,12,13,14,17,16,18,15,11). If there is a tie each team recieves 1 point for the hole.

HANDICAPS:

Handicaps will be carried forward from last year's play and adjusted every week until the playoffs. Players will play through the playoffs using their regular season handicap. Newcomers to the Men's League will start with a 6 HCP and will be adjusted accordingly.

FORFEITURE OF GAME:

Should a team forfeit a game for failing to show for play, the opposing team will recieve eleven (11) points. ALL games must be played on the Monday night unless there is a weather cancellation. NO games are to be booked and played at a later date.

WEATHER CANCELLATIONS:

If weather conditions are such that play is not recommended a decision will be made by 4:00 pm on Monday to cancel play for that Monday. The rained out Monday game will be played on the following Monday at 5:30 pm sharp. Please call the GOLF COURSE at 4:00 pm or check the Men's League page to find out the decision, if weather is a concern.

PLAYOFFS:

Projected start date for Playoffs is July 12th. The top four teams from each division will advance to the playoffs. SPARES are not permitted in the playoff rounds. The matches will be decided by a Draw to be made on the final night of regular season play. If there is a tie for total points then we will go to scorecard of the regular season game to determine the placing. If there is still a tie the team with the lower handicap will get the higher seeding. If there is still a tie, placing will be determined by a coin toss. Playoffs will be played on the designated Monday night.

RAIN DELAYS:

After a match has started and weather conditions are such that play should be stopped, play will be considered stopped when one team returns to the clubhouse. Should play not be able to resume. A game will considered completed after four (4) holes have been completed and the remaining holes will be split in value, i.e. one point per team per hole for the remaining holes.
