Shamble Rules:

CCMGA Shamble Rule Sheet

 

1. All players tee off (Pick & Shovel tees) and the team chooses the best tee shot.

 

2. Players will play their own ball from the selected tee shot.  All balls including the ball selected may be played within one club length of the balls original position, but not closer to the hole on Tee shots only.  The lie conditions may NOT be improved. (for example a ball in a bunker, penalty area, or rough, must be played from the bunker, penalty area or rough.)

 

3. Each player will then play his own ball from that location until the ball is holed.

 

4. Tee shots coming to rest on the green must be played from no more than 6" from the original spot, no closer to the hole.

 

5. Must use at least three (3) tee shots from each player.

 

6. The best three (3) net scores on each hole will be counted.  You only have to record gross scores on your scorecard.  The three (3) best net score will be automatically computed when entered into the Golf Genius mobile app and will be checked following the round.

 

7. Handicap allowance will be 80% - as marked on scorecards.

 

8. A player may pick up when the team score on a hole cannot be improved.  This is for pace of play.

 

Skins:  There is a team skin game.  A skin is defined as the lowest three (3) total best ball net score on a hole (no ties, no carry overs).

 

Closest to the Pin:  Two closest to the pin contests will be held.

 

Pace of Play:  Since this is a shotgun start, please keep up with the group in front of you.

 

Note: If for some reason you do not have four players you still follow the same rules. A blind player will be picked by the system to complete your foursome. One member of each foursome should enter scores on the printed cards and in the mobile scoring app.

2-MAN BEST BALL RULES

Registration will be open until 7:00 PM, Sunday, March 31st.

Tournament tee times begin at 11:00 AM Saturday, April 6th.

 

Best Ball Rules:

 

1. Entry fee which covers the prize money, skins, closest to the pin and hole-in-one fund.

 

2. All players shall play from the Pick & Shovel tees or Coal Car tees. Coal Car tees may be played if your combined age plus handicap is 75 or more. You must declare the tee you will be playing at registration. USGA Rule 3.5 will be in effect. If you elect to play from the Coal Car tees, three (3) strokes will be deducted from your course handicap due to the difference in the course rating between the tees.  In addition, your handicap will also reflect the slope rating which may result in an additional adjustment depending on your GHIN index.

 

3. Each player plays his own ball. The team score for a given hole is the best net score (gross score minus any pops marked on the scorecard). If you are out of a hole and elect to pick-up, mark your estimated score followed by an “X”. For example, if you have a meaningless putt left, you may pick it up and either count it as one stroke (if it was close) or two strokes. Be honest-- this is encouraged to speed up play!

 

4. Swap scorecards with the other team on your first tee. One player in each foursome should also enter the foursome scores in the Golf Genius mobile app.  Before turning in the scorecard, fill it in completely! Record each player’s gross hole scores. Also circle the score used for the best ball and record the best ball net score. Add up both nine hole scores, 18 hole scores, gross and net scores for both players. Also, add up your best ball score. Be sure your card is signed by the playing partner who kept the score and attested by a member of your team.

 

HANDICAPS: Each player receives 90% of his actual course handicap, as adjusted per Rule 3.5, if applicable. The higher handicap player’s course handicap is capped at eight strokes above his teammate. For example, if player A’s course handicap is 6 and player B’s course handicap is 17, player B will have his course handicap reduced to 14. Any player not having a handicap or a trend will play at scratch.

 

TEAM SKINS: Each day will have a Skins game. A skin is defined as the best net team score on a hole (no ties or carryovers). The pot is divided equally between the outright winners.

 

CLOSEST TO THE PIN: Two closest to the pin contests will be held. This is an individual event.

 

SLOW PLAY PENALTY IS IN EFFECT! Foursomes finishing in more than 4 hrs. 30 min. or more than 15 min. behind the group in front will be assessed a 2 stroke penalty per team. Each scorecard will have 4 hrs and 30 min pace of play shown on the card. Please keep up with the group in front of you. The 2019 USGA rule changes should speed up pace of play.

Individual Stroke

Registration will be open until 7:00 PM on Sunday, April 7th.

Tee times will begin at 8:30 AM on Saturday, April 13th.

 

Stroke Play Rules

Please read these rules carefully before teeing off!

 

1. All players play their own ball and records each stroke.

 

* On the first tee, exchange your scorecard with one of your competitors in your foursome. Only one person in the foursome needs to record scores in the mobile app. Anyone may use the GGID on the scorecard to login and track the leaderboard. You must also complete your paper scorecard, verify hole by hole scores and be sure your card is signed by the player keeping your score and attested by you!

 

2. First flight players may elect to play either the TNT or Pick & Shovel tees. USGA Rule 3.5 will be in effect.  Player playing from the TNT tees will have 2 stokes plus any slope adjustment added to their handicap index. 

 

3. For all other flights, players may choose to play either Pick & Shovel or Coal Car tees. Coal Car tees may ONLY be played if your combined age and handicap index is 75 or more. USGA Rule 3.5 will be in effect. Players playing from the Coal Car tees will lose 3 strokes plus any slope adjustment deducted from their handicap index.

 

4. Tee preference must be declared at registration by sending a message to the manager or an email to ken.schramm@hotmail.com.

 

FLIGHTS / HANDICAPS: Flights will consiste of between 15 and 20 players. All players receive 100% of their handicap. Any player not having a handicap or a trend will play as a 0. Players playing from Coal Creek tees are not eligible for low gross in their flight. The last flight will not pay a low gross due to the wide range in handicaps.

 

SKINS: There will be a separate Skins Game for each flight. A skin is defined as the best gross score on a hole (no ties, no carryovers).

 

CLOSEST TO THE PIN: Two closest to the pin contests will be held. The pot ($1 per player, taken from the registration fee) will be split between the two winning players. There is one contest that includes all flights.

 

SLOW PLAY PENALTY IS IN EFFECT! Foursomes finishing in more than 4 hrs. 30 min. or more than 15 min. behind the group in front of them will be assessed a 1 stroke penalty per player. Each scorecard will have 4 hrs and 30 min pace of play shown on the card. Please keep up with the group in front of you. One player from each group must check their group in within 15 minutes of the group in front of them.  The 2019 USGA rule changes should speed up pace of play.

RYDER CUP RULES

Please read these rules carefully before teeing off!

 

This is a two-man team event with four different 9-hole formats – Best Ball, Scramble, Chapman and Alternate Shot. Be sure to play the correct format on the designated holes!

 

SATURDAY:

 

1. Starting Time: 7:08 AM tee times off of holes #1 and #10.
2. Best Ball Rules – Holes #1 through #9, Round 1 are to be played under the best-ball net format. Both players play their own ball and record their individual gross score for each hole in the Golf Genius app and on score cards. The best net score will be calculated by Golf Genius. Important Note:  if you are out of a hole and elect to pick-up, mark the score you likely would have received on the hole.  Do NOT put an “X” next to the score in Golf Genius or it will be removed from your total and an inaccurate final score recorded with GHIN.

 

3. Scramble Rules – Holes #10 through #18, Round 1 are to be played as a 2-Man Scramble.  On each hole, play is as follows:
   1. Both players tee off.
   2. Select the best ball and both players hit their second shot from there. Both balls may be placed within one club length (one putter head length on the green), no nearer the hole.  However, the balls must be played from the same type of lie as the chosen ball (rough, bunker, fairway, hazard, etc.).
   3. Continue as above, selecting the best ball each time and playing both shots from there until the ball is holed.
   4. Record the gross score in Golf Genius and on score cards.
   5. You must use at least two tee-shots from each player.

 

SUNDAY:

 

1. Starting Time: 8:00 AM tee times off of hole #1
2. Chapman Rules – Holes #1 through #9, Round 2 are to be played under   the 2-Man Chapman format. On each hole, play is as follows:

 

1. 1. Both players tee off.
   2. Swap balls for the next shot - player A hits player B's ball and vice-versa.
   3. After both players have taken their second shots, choose one of the balls with which to continue and take the other ball out of play. If player A’s ball is chosen, player B hits the next shot.
   4. Continue to play alternate shot until the ball is holed.
   5. Note: penalty strokes do not change the order of play at any time. Just add the appropriate stroke(s) and continue in the same fashion as described above.  We will be following the USGA local OB/Lost Ball rule.  If for example player A’s tee shot is hit OB or is lost he would incur a 2-stroke penalty and make the appropriate drop based on where the ball was determined to be OB or lost by the foursome.  Player B would be hitting his fourth shot from the drop location.  After the next shots were played the best ball is selected to continue alternate shot with. 

 

3. Alternate Shot Rules – Holes #10 through #18, Round 2 are to be played under the alternate shot format. Select a player to tee off on hole #10.  The other player on the team then plays the second shot. The players keep alternating until the ball is holed.  On the next tee, the player who did not hole out on the preceding hole, tees off. Note: penalty shots do not change the order of play.  For example, if player A’s tee shot is hit OB or is lost, he would incur a 2-stroke penalty, make the appropriate drop based on where the ball was determined to be OB or lost by the foursome and player B would be hitting the fourth shot from there.

 

TEES: All players shall play from the Pick and Shovel.

 

FLIGHTS: There are three flights for this event.

 

SCORECARDS: Swap cards with your opponents on your first tee. It is only necessary to record gross scores.  Each foursome MUST designate one person to record scores in the Golf Genius app.  This is important as the app applies the appropriate differentials and handicaps to determine net scores.  Before turning in your scorecard, fill it in completely!  Verify each of your hole scores with your competitor. Signing an incorrect scorecard may lead to disqualification! Scores on the scorecard will be used in the event of a discrepancy with Golf Genius entries.  Be sure your card is signed by the player keeping your score and attested by a member of your team.

 

HANDICAPS:

• Best Ball:  If the higher handicapped player's handicap is more than eight strokes higher than his partner, his handicap is adjusted downward accordingly (low hdcp + 8). Handicaps are then multiplied by 90%, divided by two (since 9 holes), and rounded to the nearest integer.
• Scramble:  Team handicap is low handicap multiplied by 35% plus high handicap multiplied by 15%, divided by two (since 9 holes), and rounded to the nearest integer.
• Chapman:  Team handicap is low handicap multiplied by 60% plus high handicap multiplied by 40%, divided by two (since 9 holes), and rounded to the nearest integer.
• Alternate Shot:  Team handicap is average of both handicaps, divided by two (since 9 holes), and rounded to the nearest integer.

 

TEAM SKINS:  There will be a separate Skins Game each day. Skins are based on the team score for a hole (net for best ball, and gross for the other three formats).  The pot is divided between the skin winners. A skin is defined as the best score on a hole (no ties, no carryovers).

 

CLOSEST TO THE PIN:  Two closest to the pin contests will be held each day. This is an individual contest.

CCMGA CHOOSE YOUR TEE RULES

Please carefully read these rules before teeing off!

 

1. Starting Times:  Tee times begin at 7:08 AM on Saturday, July 6th.
2. Choose Your Tee Rules:
   1. The format for the round is a low gross/low net.
   2. Entry fee covers prize money, skins, and closest to the pin contests.
   3. Each player plays his own ball and records each stroke made.  You must play six holes from each of the TNT (back), Pick & Shovel (middle) and Coal Car (front) tees.  This format is about strategy and every player will have his own.  It is likely that players within the same foursome will tee off from different tees at times.
   4. On the first tee, exchange your scorecard with one of your competitors in your foursome.  Before turning in your scorecard, fill it in completely!  Add up both nine-hole scores and the gross eighteen-hole score.  Be sure your card is signed by the player keeping your score and attested by you. *The person keeping score will record what tees played on the card.
   5. You must use each tee six times or suffer a two-stroke penalty per violation. If you played all eighteen from the Pick & Shovel, you would have twelve violations for twenty-four strokes. In the more likely scenario where you played seven Coal Car, six Pick & Shovel, and five TNT, that would be two violations for four strokes.
   6. Flights / Handicaps:  This event has four flights.  Each player receives 100% of his Pick & Shovel course handicap.  Any player not having a handicap, or a trend will play as scratch.
   7. Skins:  There will be skins for each flight.  A skin is defined as the best gross score on a hole (no ties or carryovers). The pot is divided equally between the total number of skins won in each flight. 
   1. Closest to the Pin: Two closest to the pin contests will be held. This is an individual contest for all players. The contests will be on holes number 7 and 14.  The pot is divided equally between two winners.
   10. Golf Genius scoring mandatory!  We ask that you designate one person in each group to update the scores for the entire group in the Golf Genius app.  Both live scoring and paper scorecards are MANDATORY.  Login using the GGID printed on your scorecard.  It takes seconds to enter scores following each hole.  Using the app allows the field to see their position as the tournament progresses, introduces an element of competitive fairness and it is a time saver for those tasked with checking and posting scores.  Failure to utilize the app will result in a two-stroke penalty for each player in your foursome.
   11. Slow play penalty is in effect! Foursomes finishing in more than 4 hrs. 30 min. AND/OR more than 15 min. behind the group in front of them will be assessed a two-stroke penalty per player.

CCMGA MEMBER / MEMBER RULES

Please carefully read these rules before teeing off!

 

1. Starting Times:  Tee times begin at 7:00 AM on both days.
2. Member/Member Rules:
   1. The format for both rounds is 2-Man Net Best Ball
   2. Entry fee covers prize money, skins, and closest to the pin for both days.
   3. Players shall play from the Pick & Shovel tees unless they affirmatively elect to play from the Coal Car tees (age plus handicap index must be 75 or greater without rounding).
   4. Each player plays his own ball.  The team score for a given hole is the best net score (gross score minus any pops marked on the scorecard). If you are out of a hole and elect to pick-up, mark your estimated gross score.  Do NOT put an “X” in the Golf Genius app as doing so will remove the score from your 18-hole total resulting in an artificially low score being recorded.  For example, if you have a meaningless putt remaining, you may pick it up and either count it as one stroke (if it was close) or two strokes.  Be honest!  This is encouraged to speed up play!
   5. On the first tee, swap scorecards with the other team. Record each player’s gross hole scores. Also circle the score used for the best ball and record the best ball net score in the team score line.  Add up both 9-hole scores and the 18-hole gross scores for both players as well as the team best-ball scores. Be sure your card is signed by the playing partner who kept the score and attested by a member of your team.  Scorecard scores will be held in the event of a discrepancy.
   6. We ask that you designate one person in each group to update the scores for the entire group in the Golf Genius app.  Both live scoring and paper scorecards are MANDATORY.  Login using the GGID printed on your scorecard.  It takes seconds to enter scores following each hole.  Using the app allows the field to see their position as the tournament progresses, introduces an element of competitive fairness and it is a time saver for those tasked with checking and posting scores.  Failure to utilize the app will result in a two-stroke penalty for each team in your foursome.  We did assess the penalty on June 22 and hope this was the first and last time.
3. FLIGHTS / HANDICAPS:  This event has one flight. Each player receives 90% of his adjusted course handicap. The higher handicap player’s course handicap is capped at eight strokes above his teammate. For example, if player A’s course handicap is 6 and player B’s course handicap is 17, player B will have his course handicap reduced to 14.  Any player not having a handicap, or a trend will play as scratch.
4. TEAM SKINS:  There will be team skins each day.  A skin is defined as the best net team score on a hole (no ties or carryovers). The pot is divided equally between the total number of skins won. 
5. CLOSEST TO THE PIN: Two closest to the pin contests will be held each day. This is an individual contest. The contests will be on holes number 4 and 14 on Saturday and holes number 7 and 16 on Sunday. The pot is divided equally between the four winners.
6. CALCUTTA: The Calcutta will be held on Friday evening, July 19. Your team may purchase a 50% share from the member who was the successful bidder for your team. Please advise us prior to teeing-off on Saturday if you wish to buy back your share.  All payouts will be made by the member who “owns” your team and payment of your share will be made directly to said “owner”.

 

7. Lost/OB Ball: The local USGA rule E-5 for a Lost/OB Ball will continue to be in effect.  You may use the rule or hit a provisional however, if you decide to hit a provisional and the first ball is deemed to be lost or out of bounds.  
8. SLOW PLAY PENALTY IS IN EFFECT! Foursomes finishing in more than 4 hrs. 30 min. AND/OR more than 15 min. behind the group in front of them will be assessed a two-stroke penalty per team.

MODIFIED STABLEFORD RULES

Please carefully read these rules before teeing off!

 

1. Starting Times:  Tee times begin at 10:00 AM on Sunday, August 11th.
2. Individual Stableford Rules:
   1. Each player plays his own ball. His hole score will be determined by the following points system (these points apply to both gross and net hole scores):
      1. Hole in One +6 points
      2. Double Eagle +5 points
      3. Eagle +4 points
      4. Birdie +3 points
      5. Par +2 points
      6. Bogey +1 points
      7. Double Bogey or worse 0 points
3. Note that the worst score you can take on any hole is a net double bogey. If you reach this point, pick up your ball to speed up play and mark your estimated score on the scorecard. (for example: if on hole #1 you are laying 7 on the green and are 25’ from the hole, assume you would two putt and put a 9 on your scorecard)
4. First flight will play from the TNT tees. All other players will play from the Pick & Shovel tees; if your age plus handicap index are 75 or greater and you may elect to play from the Coal Car tees.
5. On the first tee, determine who is recording scores on the paper scorecard for the foursome. ONLY gross scores need to be recorded. Golf Genius will calculate net scores and points. Before turning in the scorecard, fill it in completely! Add up both nine-hole scores and the eighteen-hole gross scores. Be sure your card is signed by the player keeping scores, reviewed by the competitors and attested.
6. Golf Genius scoring mandatory! We ask that you designate one person in each group to update the scores for the entire group in the Golf Genius app. Both live scoring and paper scorecards are MANDATORY. Login using the GGID printed on your scorecard.  It takes seconds to enter scores following each hole. Using the app allows the field to see their position as the tournament progresses, introduces an element of competitive fairness and it is a time saver for those tasked with checking and posting scores.

b) Entry fee covers prize money, skins, and closest to the pin contests.

c) Each player plays his own ball and records each stroke made. Both players strokes are counted on each hole. Only gross scores need to be recorded. Golf Genius will calculate net scores based on tournament/tee settings.

d) On the first tee determine who is recording scores on the paper scorecard and who is entering into Golf Genius. Before turning in your scorecard, fill it in completely! Add up both nine-hole scores and eighteen-hole scores. Be sure your card is signed by the player keeping your score and attested.

i) Golf Genius scoring mandatory! We ask that you designate one person in each group to update the scores for the entire group in the Golf Genius app. Both live scoring and paper scorecards are MANDATORY. Login using the GGID printed on your scorecard. It takes seconds to enter scores following each hole. Using the app allows the field to see their position as the tournament progresses, introduces an element of competitive fairness and it is a time saver for those tasked with checking and posting scores. Failure to utilize the app will result in a two-stroke penalty for each player in the foursome.

j) Tie-Breaking: Golf Genius automatically breaks ties using the USGA (Last 9,6,3,1 holes) method. If there is no resulting winner a coin flip will determine the winner.
