Golfing Rules

 

 

As always the usual rules of golf apply.  In addition and to emphasise certain elements please see below:

 

  • Each 3 or 4 ball will be allocated a scorer for all players but each player must take a note of their own scores in case of a discrepancy.

  • All putts to be sunk - no "gimme's"

  • If you cant score pick up

  • If there is a hint that your ball maybe lost then play a provisonal (in the correct order)

  • If your ball is it out of bounds then you now have the option of playing the shot from the same place (loss of 1 stroke and distance) or from the nearest place on the fairway edge to where the ball crossed the boundary line for the loss of 2 strokes

  • Do not spend more than 3 mins looking for a ball

  • Clubs can be grounded in hazards but not in bunkers

  • Off the green the flag can be in or out but not tended.  On the green the flag can be in or out.  

  • No penalty for unintentional double hits

  • Balls must be dropped from knee height  

  • Players may tee off in any order - Ready Golf

  • Embedded balls can be lifted and placed except when in a penalty area or bunker

  • Hazards are now "penalty areas" and as such there are 3 options for relief as follows for a 1 shot penalty:​

 

1) Play the shot again from same place

2) Take the ball back on a line, as far as you wish, keeping the point of entry and the hole on that line

3) Within 2 club lengths of the point of entry not nearer the hole

  • Ball must be played as it lies unless local rules say otherwise or it is stated at the beginning of the round

  • If in any doubt of the rules ask your fellow players for a ruling BEFORE you hit the shot

  • In the event of a tie a best of 4 hole putting contest will take place and if still a tie then it will be sudden death with the first player to win a hole declared the Crap Tour winner
