Rules
-
USGA rules will govern all play, except where otherwise specified by local course rules and the following exceptions:
-
Out of bounds and lost balls are to be played as lateral hazards in order to keep up the pace of play.
-
Under certain wet conditions or when the course is out-of-season, we sometimes will implement a lift-clean-place everywhere rule.
-
All players are encouraged to finish each hole. That said, if a player fails to putt out or does not finish a hole we implement a net double par max score for that hole. For example, if you pick up on a par 4 and you are not getting a stroke on that hole, you mark an 8 for that hole. If you pick up on a par 4 and you are getting a stroke, you mark a 9 for that hole.
Handicaps
-
Each player will receive 80% of their course handicap for the net skins game. No player can receive more than one stroke per hole.
-
Players will be required to enter enough scores into GolfLeagueSite to build a WHS handicap for the events.
-
Players handicaps will be maintained on this site. However, if their WHS handicap index on the site deviates considerably from their true handicap due to an extremely good or extremely bad round, the league manager reserves the right to manually override the player's handicap until the player has enough recent scores on the site.
