| Jorge, we are getting together on the 15th of oct. I'm not sure who will show up but am I able to just ask them then what they want to participate in and then pair them up accordingly or do you need to know before we go? I'm not exactly sure what they or myself for that matter will be participating in yet. Obviously I would like to enter the part I think I would have the best chance of winning in. Is it possible to enter two separate parts of the tourney with one score? I wasn't involved last time so I'm not sure how it works or what to do. I think I will have a better idea once I know who is going to show up. I know me and Bob Perry wanted to team up in an event but not sure what that would be. a little confused out here, Dan |

Doc 9 - No problem, should be failry simple. Yes, basically see who shows up and then you can pair them up. The easiest thing to do is to have everyone play tournament rules so that they can participate in both the single man event and the best ball events.
Example -
4 guys show up, so you decide to have them do the 4 man best ball. Since each person is playing their own ball the whole way anyway they can then use their final score towards the individual event. The only thing you need to be careful on for the best ball events is to figure out which hole folks will get strokes on. I will post the rules tonight so check it out later if you can. |

Jorge:
Last time I played in a handicapped best ball, the team handicap was figured out by the average of the individual handicaps, then that handicap was simply deducted from the final team score, for the net team score. It sounds like you are merging a stroke play with a match play, but I could be wrong.

Average golfer - Interesting, the Best ball events I have played that are handicapped, you figure out which hole you get strokes on and then take the lowest number for that hole. An example -
John Doe scores a 4 but gets a stroke on that hole based on his handicap (his adj score is a 3)
Jane Doe scores a 5 but gets no stroke based on her handicap.
The score this group would use on the hole is a 3.
Personally, I think I like your suggestion better as it makes the process more simple. Let's go a head and go with that then. |

TOURNAMENT RULES -
Standard tournament rules apply (No gimmies, mulligans, etc.) More rules below.
Maximum Score
The maximum score per hole is double par plus one. For example, if you are on a par 4, please pickup after your 9th stroke. (7 will be your maximum score on par 3s, 9 on par 4s, and 11 on par 5s)
Teeing Ground
Ball is touched and moved from the tee: 1 stroke penalty if player has intention to hit
Teeing from the wrong place: 2 stroke penalty
Out of Bounds
Go to point of OB, drop within 2 club lengths; 2 stroke penalty. If there is doubt about point of OB, captain rules it. OB includes white stakes, fence and area defined by the local course.
Lost Ball
You will have one-minute time limit to look for lost ball. If you cannot find your ball, drop the ball at the lost location as accurate as possible, 1 stroke penalty. If there is doubt about the lost location, captain rules it.
In the Hazard
Water hazard (Yellow stakes)
Drop ball within 2 club lengths from point of entry, 1 stroke penalty
Lateral Water Hazard (Red Stakes)
1 stroke penalty, the following are the different ways to play the next shot:
a. Re-hit from original location
b. Drop 2 club length from the closest red stake from point-of-entry - no closer to the hole
c. Anywhere along the flight path of the ball - no closer to the hole
No penalty if hit from the hazard where the ball lies, but club cannot touch the ground prior to the shot
Bunker
Any object that might injure you or damage your club can be removed without penalty. The club cannot touch the sand prior to the shot, 2 stroke penalty
Free Drops
Drop the ball within one club length from the nearest point of relief but not nearer to the hole, NO penalty. Examples of free drop: staked tree, obstruction, cart path, casual water, outside agency, ground under repair, flowerbed (with blue stakes). Ground under repair includes any marked area, obvious repairing area, or poor maintained fairway or rough (captain can help to rule it)
Unplayable Ball
Drop ball within 2 club lengths from the nearest point of relief but not nearer to the hole, 1 stroke penalty
Player can declare his ball unplayable anytime, anywhere even in the bunker. Except the unplayable ball in the bunker must be dropped in the bunker. Any unsafe shot must be determined as unplayable ball. Unplayable ball can be lifted cleaned and placed.
Putting Green
Accidentally hitting the ball: Place the ball back to original location, 1 stroke penalty
Hitting other balls: 2 stroke penalty
Hitting artificial objects (flag, club, etc): 2 stroke penalty
Everyone must hole out!
Miscellaneous
Hitting the wrong ball: 2 stroke penalty
Equipment
You can only have a maximum of 14 clubs in your bag while playing in the tournament.

Rules for team competition:
This is a best-ball team competition, which means that you play each shot, and record your personal score for each hole, then the team gets to record the best score out of the foursome for it's team score.
As far as handicapping, the final team score will be the score, minus the team handicap. The team handicap will be figured by averaging all the official USGA handicaps.
For example, on WA South, two out of the four of us have actual handicaps, so those two, 17 and 19, will average out to an 18, which will be our team handicap. If only one person has a handicap, that will be the team handicap. If all four members have a a handicap, just average all four.
So, to report your score, say that your team ends up shooting a 75 raw score, and has an 11 team handicap, your team would net a 64. You would report your raw score, handicap and net score to MOJO.
Good luck and have fun.
Marty (Average Golfer)
One more thing... If you are competing in the individual event too, and are going to use your team score for your individual score, then be sure to play all shots as in tournament golf, even though your team may end up using a better score than yours for that hole. |
