    • Guests/players without an established, active and verifiable (GHIN) index are NOT ELIGIBLE to play with the MGA or participate in the Saturday team game.

    • Guests/players without an established, active and verifiable (GHIN) index are eligible to play with the MGA and participate in the Sunday individual game but will play to a Course Handicap of zero.

  • When requesting a time, indicate in the Comments Section the individual(s) you would like in your group. EACH INDIVIDUAL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR REGISTRATION. DO NOT SIGN UP ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF. The MGA will do their best to accommodate your request.  The MGA will assign complete foursomes. 

  • There will be no changing of foursomes the morning of play. We must maintain a smooth and timely tee schedule.

  • Score cards should include the player’s LAST NAME ONLY(mandatory); and TEES PLAYED FROM(mandatory).  If you do not clearly mark the tees played from you will automatically be recorded as playing from the WHITE tees.

  • Each player shall record on their scorecard their actual gross score with the maximum number of strokes per hole not to exceed 9.

  • At the conclusion of the round, it is the players responsibility to post his score to GHIN in accordance with the guidelines established by the USGA. The rule for posting a score is NET DOUBLE BOGEY:

    • The maximum score for each hole played is limited to a net double bogey – which is equal to Par of the hole + 2 strokes (double bogey) + any handicap strokes the player is entitled to receive on that hole based on their Course Handicap.

 

Local Rules

  • Putts within the leather (length not to exceed 24”) MAY be conceded by other players in the group.  Concession of a putt is not automatic.

  • Preferred Lies / Winter Rules will apply when it is CART PATH ONLY and/or from December 1st until April 30th.  Preferred Lies / Winter Rules apply for all shots played from YOUR OWN FAIRWAY.  Under the most common traditions for Preferred Lies / Winter Rules the player has the option to improve the lie without penalty by moving the ball (lift, clean & place only) within one club length of the original spot no nearer the hole or onto the putting green. The player can only place the ball once and then the ball is "in play". If the ball does not stay on the spot where it was placed, it must be replaced without penalty. If it still won't stay on that spot it must be placed at the nearest spot where it can be placed at rest that is not nearer the hole.  Breach of this Rule is loss of hole in Match Play and two stroke penalty in Stroke Play.
