ABCD SHAMBLE

Please carefully read these rules before teeing off!

1. Starting Times:  Tournament is a shotgun start at 10:00 AM on Sunday, March 28th.
2. General Rules:
   1. Teams will be composed of four players randomly selected in an ABCD handicap index format minimizing the total handicap spread across all teams.
   2. All players tee off (Pick & Shovel tees) and the team chooses the best tee shot.
   3. 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. (e.g. a ball in a bunker, penalty area, or rough, must be played from the bunker, penalty area or rough.)
   4. Each player will then play his own ball from that location until the ball is holed.
   5. 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.
   6.  Must use at least three (3) tee shots from each player.
   7. 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.
   8. Handicap allowance will be 80% - as marked on scorecards.
   1. A player may pick up when the team score on a hole cannot be improved.  This is for pace of play.
   10. 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).
   11. Closest to the Pin:  Two closest to the pin contests will be held.
   50. Pace of Play:  Since this is a shotgun start, please keep up with the group in front of you. Foursomes finishing 15 minutes more than the 4 hour 30 minute mark will be assessed a two-stroke penalty.
   1000. Electronic scoring mandatory! We ask that you designate one person in each group to update the scores for the entire group in the USGA Tournament Management app. Both live scoring and paper scorecards are MANDATORY. Login using the GGID printed on your scorecard. Scoring is simple and fast for competitors and post round scorers. Failure to utilize the app will result in a two-stroke penalty for the team.

 

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

Please carefully read these rules before teeing off!

1. Starting Times:  Tee times start at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 4th.
2. General Rules:
   1. Teams will be composed of two players having a maximum playing handicap differential of eight strokes.  If there is a difference of more than eight strokes, the higher handicap will be reduced.
   2. Players may play from the Pick & Shovel tees or Coal Car tees. Coal Car tees may be played ONLY if your combined age plus handicap index equals 75 or more. You must declare the tee you will be playing when you register. Your playing handicap will be based on your tee choice.
   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, record the score you most likely would have made. For example, if your partner has a par putt and you have a meaningless putt for a 7, you may pick it up and record either a 7 or 8 depending on how many putts it would have taken to finish the hole. Be honest.  This is encouraged to speed up play!
   4. Swap scorecards with the other team on the first tee. Before turning in the scorecard, fill it in completely recording each player’s gross hole scores. Add up both nine-hole scores and eighteen-hole scores for both players. You may include your best net score on the card though it is not be necessary. Be sure your card is signed and attested before turning in.
   5. Handicaps: Each player receives 90% of playing handicap based upon his choice of tee. The higher playing handicap is capped at eight strokes above his teammate. For example, if player A’s playing handicap is 6 and player B’s playing handicap is 17, player B will have his playing handicap reduced to 14. Any player not having a handicap or a trend will play at scratch.
   6. Team Skins: There is a team 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.
   7. Closest to the Pin: Two closest to the pin contests will be held. This is an individual contest.
   8. Pace of Play: Foursomes finishing in more than 4 hours 30 minutes or more than 15 minutes behind the group in front of them will be assessed a two-stroke penalty per team. Each scorecard will have 4 hour 30 minute pace of play shown on the card. 
   9. Electronic scoring mandatory! We ask that you designate one person in each group to update the scores for the entire group in the USGA Tournament Management app. Both live scoring and paper scorecards are MANDATORY. Login into the app using the GGID printed on your scorecard. Scoring is simple and fast for competitors and post round scorers. Failure to utilize the app will result in a two-stroke penalty for both teams.

   3. Flagsticks are not to be removed from holes.  For consistency across the field, group discretion is not an option. A ball must come to rest in the hole to count.  
   4. There are no rakes in bunkers.  If a ball comes to rest in a footprint or unraked area of a bunker it may be lifted (not cleaned) and placed within one club length, no closer to the hole.
3. General Rules:
   1. Teams will be composed of three players and the format is a modified scramble.
   2. For this tournament IN PLAY is defined as a ball coming to rest in the fairway or on the green or fringe. Areas NOT in play include but may not be limited to the first cut along fairways and around greens, hazards, bunkers and unmown areas.
   3. All players tee off and the team chooses the best shot to play.  One ball must be IN PLAY for all three players to hit the next shot.  If there is not a ball IN PLAY during any series of shots, only the person who hit the ball selected may play the next shot.  This continues until a ball is back IN PLAY.  Example scenarios follow.
      1. Example 1: Players A, B and C tee off.  Players A and B hit their tee shots into a hazard.  Player C hits his shot up the right side of the hole and the ball comes to rest in the first (rough) cut.  Player C’s ball is the only playable ball however, because it is not in the fairway Player C is the only player who may hit a second shot and the ball must be played as it lies.  If Player C gets the ball back IN PLAY, all three players would get to hit a third shot. 
      2. Example 2: Players A, B and C hit second shots into the green and none of them come to rest on the green or fringe.  The team decides that Player B has a better short game so his ball is selected.  Player B is the only player that gets to chip onto the green.  If his next shot comes to rest on the green, all three players would then get a chance to putt.
      3. Example 3: Players A and B hit short drives in the fairway.  Player C hits a driver 100 yards further but is in the rough.  The team may decide to use Player C’s ball, even though only Player C will get to hit the next shot.
   4. If all three players hit balls which are determined to be Lost or Out of Bounds, the team will use USGA Local Rule e.5, take relief at the appropriate spot in the fairway within two club lengths of the edge of the fairway and all three players will be hitting the teams fourth shot.
   5. Players will play their own ball from the selected tee shot.  All balls including the ball selected when IN PLAY may be played within one club length of the ball’s original position, but not closer to the hole on Tee shots only.  If a ball not IN PLAY is chosen, it must be played untouched from its lie. (e.g. a ball in a bunker, penalty area, or rough, must be played from the bunker, penalty area or rough).
   6. Shots coming to rest on the green must be played from no more than 6" from the original spot, no closer to the hole.
   7.  Each team must use at least four (4) tee shots from each player.
   8. Teams will receive 30% of the A Player's, 20% of the B Player's and 10% of the C Player's playing handicap which collectively will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number for team handicap.

   10. 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.
