TOURNAMENT RULES

Stroke Play Rules

• Each player must play their own ball.
  
• Ball must be played as it lies. There is NO lift-clean-and-place. Doing so shall result in a one stroke penalty.
• Stroke and distance are the only option available when taking a drop
  
• Remember a ball is Lost after a three-minute search.
  
• The playing of a wrong ball results in a disqualification unless corrected before playing from the next tee.
  
• Count your clubs before play begins (Only 14 clubs are allowed)
  
• A bare area in the turf qualifies for relief when marked Ground Under Repair or as per LOCAL RULE
  
• All putts must be holed (failure to do so results in a two-stroke penalty). When a player starts a hole but does not hole out for a valid reason, subject to other provisions set out within the Rules of Handicapping, the player must record their most likely score or net double bogey, whichever is lower.
  
• If there is a question on how to proceed due to a rules question, play two balls and declare which ball is to be used before making a stroke on either ball. Report the situation to the rules committee after the round for resolution. Failure to report playing two balls will result in disqualification.
  
• At the conclusion of each round review and sign your scorecard. You are responsible for your score and consolidation of your group scores. Failure to turn in a correct signed and attested card immediately following the round will result in disqualification
  
• There is no limit to the number of strokes taken to pay a hole.
  
• All players eligible will have USGA handicaps deducted from their overall total equaling their NET score
  
• The Tournament Rules Committee consists of Jovanie Harris and Christopher Henry-Staples
