Welcome to the PB Dye Thursday League

Play will be from the white tees. 60 and over play from the green tees.

Cost is $30 per week with an optional $5 for skins

• Skins will be the best score on a hole par or better.
• Everyone that wins a skin per week will split the total skins pot.
• Reverse skin is available to anyone who buys into the skins pot. A hole will be randomly drawn weekly an the person with the worst score on that hole will receive up to a quarter of the skins pot. If there is a tie one more hole will be drawn if a tie occurs again no reverse skin will be passed out for that week.

Players can roll the ball within a foot in their own fairway or rough. You may not touch the ball in hazards or fescue grass.

• Must play any ball in heather as it lies

Handicap strokes received or given are the difference between your handicap and your opponents. Strokes will be received starting on the hardest handicapped hole proceeding to the easiest. Strokes can be received on all holes including par 3's.

Max Score on a hole is double par plus any strokes that you receive from an opponent due to your handicap. Example if you receive 1 stroke on a par 4 and you pick up you will receive a 9.

There will be one closest to the pin available per week. Ball must be on green to be considered. Please measure and put the correct distance.

There will be a closest to the cooler on one fair way each week. The closest to the cooler off the tee will win the contents of the cooler at the end of the round.

The individual with the most points at the end of the regular season will win the weekday membership to PB Dye. If there is a tie we will go by the head to head matchup of the two teams. If the teams did not play each other we will go by the teams overall standings.

Overall Rules

• When there is any doubt as to whether your ball may have gone out of bounds or may be lost outside a hazard (e.g. in woods), always play a provisional. Make sure: a) to announce that the ball is a provisional (and not a ball in play); b) the provisional is distinguishable from the original in some way (number or marking); and c) announce the difference between the two balls to your competitors on the tee.
• A lost ball outside a hazard that is not out of bounds (e.g. in woods) is to be played stroke and distance. You must: a) go back and play from the prior hitting area with 1 stroke penalty if you did not play a provisional; b) play your provisional with 1 stroke penalty; or c) you may concede the hole and score according to rule 6 below.
• A ball hit into an area marked as hazard or treated as a hazard under the local rules above shall be played in accordance with the rules noted above (for areas treated as hazard) or the basic rules of golf (for areas marked as hazard).
• A ball hit out of bounds is to be played stroke and distance. You must: a) go back and play from the prior hitting area with 1 stroke penalty if you did not play a provisional; b) play your provisional with 1 stroke penalty; or c) you may concede the hole and score according to rule 6 below
• When conceding a hole, you must score the greater of: a) Your oponents score, plus the number of strokes given, plus one stroke (e.g. if your opponent scores a 5 and you give him a stroke on that hole, your score would be 5 + 1 +1 or 7) ; or b) Your regular maximum hole score given your handicap. Any time you pick up (unless your opponent concedes), you are deemed to have conceded the hole.
• Only your opponent or his partner may concede putts unless you are already out of the hole. Then you may proceed under rule 6 above.
