Competitive Division
• Ages 3-12 individual stroke play
• Divisions are co-ed
• While walking is preferred, golfer’s may ride*
• 1 adult caddie
• Exchange official scorecard with fellow player
• If the ball is not in the holed after DOUBLE PAR pick up the ball and score a DOUBLE PAR on the hole
• Be mindful of the NEW USGA rules (Flagstick, Lining Players Up, etc.)
• Putting- Once all players are on the green, the furthest player from the hole puts first and will continue to putt until holed. Then, the next furthest player putts and continues until their ball is holed and so on (An effort to speed up play).
• We will play under “READY GOLF” rules, meaning, you do not necessarily need to be furthest from the hole to wait to go. Just please be aware of other players in your group and where they are for safety reasons before you go.
• In 2019, we will have a Winter, Summer and Fall Series. Points gained during each season determine the winner of each each season, in each age division. Points refresh for each season. Champions for each season, in each age division, will be invited to a “Tournament of Champions” in January of 2020, FREE of charge.
• We will no longer offer “exemptions” for winners of events.
• 2018 season long division winners will still be granted exemptions for 2019 however.
