The following are the general rules covering the league tournaments:
Before Play:
- Please be on time and ready to play, 30 minutes prior to tee time.
- Look at the flyer in the Ladies Lounge or in the Pro Shop to determine what the “tournament” is for the day.
- Players must report to the starter 20 minutes before tee time.
- Latecomers may lose their tee time, 10 minutes prior to tee time.
- Decide who will keep the “official” scorecard to be turned in. Also, have one other member keep a second scorecard to double check the accuracy of the scoring.
Scoring: In order to maintain the Pace of Play….
1. Generally, the score to be posted on the Tournament Sheet in the Ladies Lounge is your Adjusted Score, according to the Equitable Stroke Control guidelines used for Handicap purposes, listed below:
18-Hole Handicap |
9-Hole Handicap |
MAXIMUM SCORE |
9 or less |
4 or less |
= Double-bogey |
10 – 19 |
5 – 9 |
= 7 |
20 – 29 |
10 – 14 |
= 8 |
30 – 39 |
15 – 19 |
= 9 |
40 or more |
20 or more |
= 10 |
2. If a player reaches her maximum score, she MUST pick up her ball and take her maximum score and mark her scorecard accordingly. For example, if your maximum score is 10, after your 9th stroke, pickup your ball and record (X10) for that hole.
3. 12 inch putts may be given (outside edge of hole to front edge of the ball), with the consensus of the other players in the group. There will be no measuring of the distance.
4. Exception to above Scoring Rules: For some tournaments that are the low gross/low net format, each hole must be played to completion for the player to be in the tournament. These tournaments will be identified in the weekly tournament rules.
5. You MUST POST your adjusted Score in the GHIN handicap computer after each round of golf.
Score Cards:
1. Valid scorecards must list legibly the First Initial and Last Names of players and the date of play. Have both the Scorekeeper and one other player (Attestor) sign the scorecard.
2. Please double-check your addition. You may save yourself a stroke!
3. Post your Adjusted Score (Equitable Stroke Control) in the GHIN Computer or online at www.GHIN.com. Some of the tournaments will be identified as a “T” score for inputting into the GHIN system. A 9-Hole score can never be a “T” score.
4. Place the score card in the 9-hole or 18-hole box in the Ladies Lounge. If a Valid Scorecard is not turned in, you will not be eligible for prizes.
5. Calculate and post weekly contest scores according to the directions on the Tournament Sheet in the Ladies Lounge.
6. Use your course handicap posted in the Ladies Lounge when entering information on the Tournament Sheet.
After Play:
1. By the end of the week, the winners for the tournament will be posted in the Ladies Lounge and on www.rlga.net
2. If you are a winner, you will be given Pro Shop credit to be used to purchase items. The Pro Shop will be able to tell you what credit you have available to spend.
