FORMAT: - A match in which 2 play their better net ball against the better net ball of 2 other players. Only the winning team advances to the next round. - The team members must coordinate a date to play the match within the round deadline, and if possible, the match should be played on a day other than Tuesday. If the foursome must play on a regular Tuesday, notify the tee time coordinator and your group will be put at the end of the tee time schedule. Round: Complete Play by: Forfeit Determination Date*:
* If a match is not able to be played by that round’s play-by date, the match will be required to be played on the following Tuesday. If a team is unable to play on that Tuesday, that team will forfeit. A team has the option to compete with just one of their members if they choose. STROKE ALLOWANCES: - Players will be allowed a maximum handicap of 36. - If the two partners have more than a 10 stroke differential in their handicaps, a 10% reduction will first be applied to the higher handicap player. If there is still more than a 10 stroke differential, a 10% reduction will be applied to the lower handicap player. - The handicaps used will be the handicap in effect on the date the round is played. Pre-marked scorecards will be provided, however, it is the players’ responsibility to ensure the correct handicap is reflected on the card before the match begins and remark the cards if necessary. - The player with the lowest handicap among the 4 will receive no strokes. The remaining 3 players will receive the difference between their course handicap and the low handicapper. - Example Name Course Handicap Handicap for this match HOW TO PLAY: - In match play, the game is played hole by hole. - The team with the lowest NET score wins the hole. If the hole ends in a tie, then you halve the hole. - The match is won by the team which is leading by a number of holes greater than the number of holes remaining to be played (i.e. 4 holes ahead with only 3 holes left to play). If there is a tie at the end of the match, see the starter who will determine which hole to begin sudden death. Play until one side wins a hole. RULES: - To start the match, determine the team to tee off first by a flip of a coin or drop of a tee. On subsequent holes, the last team to have won a hole shall have the honor and tee off first. - The ball farthest from the hole shall be played first. However, balls belonging to the same team may be played in the order the team determines. If you play out of turn (on the tee, fairway or on the green), your opponents can make you re-hit your shot. On any given shot, you can deviate from this rule with one of your opponent's consent prior to the shot. - The scoring ball MUST BE HOLED OUT, unless the other team concedes the putt. Be alert as to when you concede a putt so you don’t make your opponents putt really short putts. - Follow local RLGA rules for play including LIFT-CLEAN-PLACE in your own fairway. - If there is no way your team can win the hole, concede the hole to your opponents. - If you are “out of the hole”, pick up your ball and either determine what you believe you would have finished the hole with or take the maximum allowable strokes for Equitable Stroke Control. “Out of the hole” means that you are clearly not able to do better than your partner. - Your score from this match must be posted for handicap purposes. - When you have finished your match, write the winners’ names on the T&L Ladder and place the score card in the tournament folder in the filing cabinet in the locker room.
