Play

Players 60+ of age will play from white tees. Rest of league plays from Blue Each teams A and B player will tee off each hole. Each team will decide between their drive which was the best and move their ball to the best drive. Each player will then play their own ball from that point in for a total score on the hole. Give-me putts are allowed as decided between the two teams playing. This helps to keep play moving. Rule of thumb is any putt shorter than the length of the putter to the bottom of the putter grip. However, typically teams determine give-me lengths throughout the round.

Rain

If it is raining please refer to the league website, watch for an email, or call the course to find out if league is cancelled. You will play the team you were supposed to the following week that we play the same nine. For example if you were supposed to play Team X on the front nine during the rain out night you will play Team X the following week that we play the front nine again. A decision on whether to play that night will be made by 5:00. If we get to the course and rain starts we will wait 30 minutes to determine whether to continue play or cancel the evening. If all teams finish five holes or rain starts after 7:15. That week will count. Skins do not count on shortened weeks due to rain.
