The USGA Rules of Golf are to be adhered to at all times. Disregard of the Rules of Golf can result in suspension of the violator.
Event Scoring
- All scores must be turned in on a timely basis, within 6 hours of completion of the event.
- All score results must be confirmed. Such confirmation must include either (a) two signatures on a scorecard, (b) a scorecard and an app filed score (thru Golf Genius) or (c) having 2 scorecards submitted thru the aforementioned app.
- Should the scores differ on either of the 2 submissions, the higher score will be counted.
Local Rules
- Play from bunkers while no rakes are available: it is permissible to modify the ball location if a ball hit into the bunker is in a footprint or similar abused area of the bunker. It is to be placed without penalty, within a nominal distance no nearer the hole.
- A ball that goes out of bounds may have the next stroke taken from the fairway perpendicular to where the ball went out of bounds with a 2-STROKE PENALTY being assessed instead (i.e. first stroke goes out of bounds, 2-stroke penalty to drop the ball in the fairway, golfer is now lying three, and about to hit their fourth stroke).
- Putts taken from on the green in the middle of, or behind, a dirt patch, may be moved a modest distance, no nearer the hole to avoid the dirt patch it was in initially.
