Rules And Information
Welcome to the Clarios FloKY rules page.
Have Fun!!
Handicaps will follow more closely to USGA rules. In League B, the difference of the two team's handicaps will be applied to the appropriate team's scorecard. For ease of use, League A will still apply handicaps to each individual based on their handicap and hole difficulty.
You can play the ball up, and can move the ball one club length distance, no closer to the hole.
You may not improve your lie (i.e. moving the ball from rough to fairway, fairway to fringe, or fringe to green).
Rake & Replace rule is in effect for bunker shots. You may pick your ball up, rake the trap, and then replace the ball in its approximate original position.
Hit when ready!
Lost ball rule: If the ball is hit in a hazard, or can't be found, the player must drop another ball in the approximate position the lost ball was thought to be in. A one-stroke penalty will be assessed for the lost ball.
Provisional Shot: For speed of play, please hit a provisional shot if you think your ball went out of bounds. If your ball is in bounds you can pick up your provisional shot, with no penalty, and play your original ball. The penalty is both stroke and distance, except under the circumstances described in rule 9.
If no provisional shot is played and you realize your ball did go out of bounds, please play your next shot from the approximate spot the ball went out of bounds. A two-stroke penalty will be assessed for the lost ball. For speed of play reasons, do not return to the tee to hit another ball after searching for a lost ball.
Gimme's are allowed! Any putt within 6 feet of the hole may be conceded. This is not mandatory; a gimme putt is at the discretion of your opponent.
Concession of holes is allowed, but it is important to play out every hole regardless of if you have a chance to win it or not. This is important in keeping an accurate and useful average.
Women will use the red tees; men will use the white.
For safety concerns: On holes where women's tee blocks are significantly in front of the men's, men will tee off first, regardless of honors.
Unless otherwise specified, USGA rules are in effect.
Four strokes over-par is the maximum score allowed on a given hole. (On a par three, seven is the maximum score. On a par four, eight is the maximum. On a par five, nine is the maximum.) You may pick your ball up and move on to the next hole after the four over-par stroke maximum is reached.
You are required to play or have a substitute ready to play each scheduled round, weather permitting.
Soft spikes are the only spikes allowed at Kenton County Golf Courses.
Only 2 minutes are allowed when searching for a lost ball. Keep pace with the group in front of you.
Rules for Subs,
There are no limits for the amount of subs. The teams on a bye week are allow to sub for you, or find someone on the sub list to fill in for you if possible. New subs can be added to the sub list, but you will need to notify the league commissioner 24 hours in advance.
Two person teams
LEAGUE POINT SYSTEM (the traditional 9 Point Scoring Method)
Each round is worth a total of ten (9) points broken down as follows:
Team points - 9 points - 1 point per hole
TEAM POINTS are awarded, on each hole, to the team with the lowest combined net score. There is (1) one point available per hole. In case of a tie, the teams' will receive one half (1/2) point each.
The scorecards will indicate which holes strokes are given. There is one (1) point available for each hole. The Team with the low net score for the hole gets 1 point. In case of a tie each player receives a half point.
All Team points are added together to determine TOTAL TEAM POINTS for Team Standings.
