Featured Rules:

  • Rule of 75:
  • Men’s association members may, in designated events ONLY, utilize forward tees to improve pace of play and their golfing experience.  If a member’s age plus his handicap index totals 75 or more, he may play his round from the Coal Car tees. 

 

  • Event Registration:
  • The tees you select during league registration will be your default during the season.  If you qualify for and wish to play from a different set of tees you must notify the tournament chair of your tee choice by no later than the close of event registration.  Requests made after the close of registration will not be considered.
  • If you require an early or late tee time to accommodate another event which would interfere with your ability to play, you must make your request by the close of event registration.  Requests received after close of registration or because you just prefer to play early or late will not be considered. 

 

  • Pace of Play:
    • SHOW UP EARLY!  If you do not make it to the tee box before your foursome is finished teeing off, you will be disqualified from the tournament.
    • USGA Rule 5.6 - Players should recognize that their pace of play affects others and they should play promptly throughout the round (such as by preparing in advance for each stroke and moving promptly between strokes and in going to the next tee). A player should make a stroke in no more than 40 seconds (and usually in less time) after the player is able to play without interference or distraction. 
    • USGA Rule 6.4 - Affirmatively allows and encourages players to play out of turn (ready golf) so long as players agree and playing out of turn does not endanger, distract or interfere with any other player.

 

  • World Handicap System: 
  • Beginning January 1, 2020, the World Handicap System will go into effect 
  • A player’s handicap will be based upon the best 8 of their past 20 scores. 
  • Slope, course rating and par will be used to determine a "playing handicap” allowing players to compete from different tees more easily.
  • The maximum hole score that can be recorded for handicap purposes will be limited to net double bogey for all players. 
  • Handicap indexes will update the day after a score is posted rather than bi-weekly.
  • The new system will account for abnormal playing conditions as well as limit extreme upward movement of an index. 
  • Players are encouraged to enter their gross scores into GHIN hole by hole, so the net double bogey calculation is determined by the system. 
    • Finally, this year the Handicap Committee can and will adjust an index as necessary based upon previous CCMGA tournament results.  If there is a pattern or consistency contrary to a player’s index he should expect an adjustment to be made.
