ATTENDANCE:

• Any team that does not show up for a match, with zero subs, will not be allowed to gain any points. The opposing team still will have to earn their points.
• For a team to be eligible to gain points, at least one member or one sub must participate.

PRE-PLAY/RESCHEDULING MATCHES

• Pre-play on the same 9 you intend to play on league night not is not allowed.
• It is ideal and preferred that all matches are played on league nights. If, however, you wish to schedule a match, you must confer with your opponent and agree to play. This will be a charged tee time and must be completed before the next scheduled night. You will also need to call the course and book your tee time.

RULES FOR OUT ON THE COURSE:

• LEAGUE INTEGRITY:
  • Players should always respect the game of golf, The Mines and their employees as well as the other league members by being honest, playing by the rules, and being courteous.
  • PACE OF PLAY - Make sure you are looking at the cart display for tracking your pace, keep at or under that. Expectation is to complete 9 holes in 2 hours 15 mins.
• TEE BOX COLOR SELECTION
  • If a player is 60 years old they may elect at the start of the season to play from the GOLD tees, but must stick to whichever selection for the remainder of the season.
  • Females may play from the RED tees
  • All other players must use the BLUE tees
• WINTER RULES APPLY:
  • To help keep play moving, winter rules will apply throughout the entire season. This means a player may move their ball 6 inches in any direction from where the ball lies. NOTE: Winter rules do not apply in the sand trap.
• A PRESUMED LOST BALL:
  • After searching for a ball presumed in play for a MAXIMUM of 2 minutes, a ball must be declared lost. The player must drop a ball from the spot the ball is presumed lost per the decision that the group agrees to. One penalty stroke will apply. Provisional shots are not permitted.

  • A free drop (no penalty stroke) will be allowed under the following conditions:
    • Temporary standing water
    • Cart paths
    • Man-made obstacles
    • Bare ground / dirt
    • Ground under repair

SUBSTITUTES

• All subs need to pay a ONETIME fee of $11 to cover the app fee. This MUST be explained by you the member to the sub you have chosen. If this sub has never played in the league before, you MUST let Adam know to create in our app.
• Subs that have already established handicaps, are the only ones allowed to participate in the playoffs (if your team is still in contention).

HANDICAP SYSTEM:

• Stroke play with handicaps based on the 100% format using WHS scoring.
• Subs will establish handicaps on first night.
• New players will receive an initial handicap index based on 18 simulated scores.

SCORING:

• The two “A” players will play against each other head to head and the two “B” players will play against each other head to head using the player’s handicap and score (net score). Each “A” and “B” player match has 1 point available per hole = 9 total points per player match (if the players tie a hole, a half point will be awarded to each player.) The team that wins the low team net (team scores with team handicaps) = 4 points (if the teams tie, 2 points will be awarded to each team) There are a total of 22 points available for each team to win each week. A running total of the each team’s points will be kept each week to create a team standings. Those team standings will determine playoff seeding.
• If one member of a team is a no show, his handicap plus 6 strokes will be added from par on 9 holes.
• If both team members are a no show, as stated above will be assessed and no points will be awarded. The other team automatically gets the 4 team points, but has to earn the remaining 18.
• Max score per hole is a quadruple bogey, once you've hit that mark, pick up your ball.
  • Par 3: The pickup triple bogey score is 7
  • Par 4: The pickup triple bogey score is 8. The hole out triple bogey score is 7
  • Par 5: The pickup triple bogey score is 9. The hole out triple bogey score is 8

PLAYOFFS:

• One member of your team has to be present in the playoffs (if your team are still in contention). There are two brackets: top 8 teams for league champions and prize money, bottom 8 for prize money.
• Tee times and opponents will be sent out a few days prior to next scheduled night
• The top 4 teams of each half of the season will make the Playoffs. If a team or teams are that were in the top 4 from the first half, the next team or teams in line will qualify. This process goes for the consolation bracket as well.
• Overall seeding for playoffs will be determined by regular season points. In the event of a two-team tie, the 1st tiebreaker will be the team that won the head-to-head match played between the two teams during the regular season.
