Insurance, Team & Individual Prizes and Trophies).
This
year’s cart/green fees will remain at $30.00 weekly for all non members. Cart/green feed must be paid to Nemacolin
prior
to teeing off each week. Dues must be pay
in full by May 13th. If
dues are not paid, you may continue
playing, but your scores will
not be counted, you will forfeit your match.
Cash or checks made to “Fayette
Golf Association” should be given to Shawn Armstrong or any league
officer. Please help make Shawn’s job
easier by paying
these dues on time. STARTING TIMES Normal starting times will be from
4:00 to 4:30 p.m. Tee
off order will be determined by all team members arriving on the tee. ALL TEAM MEMBERS MUST BE
PRESENT ON THE TEE before the team is placed in the tee off queue. It is important that players
who can’t make the 4:30 p.m. start time notify the NWL Pro-Shop or
their team captain
if they are coming after 4:30 and before 4:45. If a player who is going
to be late has not
called by 4:30 p.m., his group does not have to wait. However,
groups are
required to wait until 4:45 if a player has called in advance to inform
the group
that he will be late. If a player shows
up late (after 4:30) and has
made no arrangements for being late, he may still join his group on the
course.
If his group had already teed off, he can only join his group on the
next tee
box. He will forfeit any earlier holes. Foursomes that would
like to set a specific time to play prior to or after 4:45 must
have
unanimous agreement between all players in the foursome and the
early or late
4 man match must be played on the
original scheduled league date. LEAGUE RULES There Will Be No
Substitutes Used Again This Year Any player who misses 5 or more
matches (except
for major medical or bereavement) will be taken off their team roster
and
replaced by a player from the league waiting list. RULES COMMITTEE: Tony DeCarlo, Richard
Glover and Tim Whetsell. This
committee will be responsible for
establishing
and governing course rules for
the league. ROLLING THE
BALL: You may use the club
face to roll your ball up to the width of the club face in any
direction
without penalty. You cannot place the
ball with you hand. You cannot roll the
ball from the rough to the fairway or from deeper rough to shorter
rough. CONCEDING PUTTS: You may concede a putt
to your competitor if the distance is 10 inches or less.
(No conceding any putts on hole # 6). MULLIGANS: Mulligan will be allowed
on the first swing of the first hole played. Mulligan
must be played before leaving the tee
box. To save time, if your first ball
seems to be lost, you may hit a second provisional ball.
If you find your first ball you must play it or declare it unplayable, reposition the ball
using
unplayable lie rules and take 1 penalty stroke. Players who play the
same nine holes as the league is playing before the scheduled league
match will
not be allowed a mulligan. FLIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES: Handicaps WILL NOT
be used for A-flight players. Handicaps will be used for B, C, and D
Flights. CANCELLATIONS: For a match to be
counted, all groups must complete all 9 holes. Weather cancellation
will be called by the league president or the Nemacolin Golf
Staff. In the event of cancellations, 2
makeup dates have
been included in the 2010 schedule. If
there are more than 2 cancellations, those matches will not be made up. FLIGHT
CHANGES: A player whose season
end handicap increases and causes him to drop from his current flight
can drop only
one flight level for the following season. A
player whose season end handicap decreases
can move up only one flight for the following season. To speed up play,
"Ready Golf" is encouraged, i.e., if you are at your ball and ready
to hit, go ahead and hit even though you are not away. SCORING Scoring
is based on match play using weekly-adjusted nine hole handicaps. There is no maximum handicap. The total number of
points a four man team can win per week is 36. Each
team will have two players in two
foursomes each week. In each
foursome only one match will take place as shown in the follow example:
Match:
1 point for winning the hole and
½ point
for tieing the hole.
Gross scores entered on
score cards will be adjusted using a process called Equitable Stroke
Control
(ESC). ESC sets a maximum allowable
number of strokes on each hole. For nine
hole scores, golfers with handicaps of less than 5 are limited to a
double
bogey on a hole. For other golfers the
following apply: Handicap
--- Maximum Strokes (Used for handicapping only ~ No Max handicap
in
league)
0 - 4
Double Bogey
15 – 19
9
IF YOUR OPPONENT IS ABSENT: If your opponent is absent you will play a
pre-determined card (from your flight) for the 9 match points. For a flight leader point you must also play
the
card. If you win your match by winning
the most of 9 holes you will earn 1 flight leader point.
If you tie you will earn ½ flight leader
point. SKINS GAME A skins game will be played within each
flight (A, B, C and D). Skins will
be based on gross scores. For
A and B players, par or better is required
to win. For C and D players bogey or
better is required to win. Skins games
will
begin on April 8 and continue through the last regular
scheduled match
on Sept 2). The skins game cost
is $2.50/week for a total $55.00, this cost is built into the yearly
entry
fees. Skins will not be played during team events (if scheduled). Skin game winners will be paid at the end of
year dinner. If there are no skins winners for a flight for the
week,
money will be carried over to the following week. FLIGHT LEADER
POINTS The player in each flight (A,B,C, or D) who has
accumulated the most individual flight leader points in their 22
matches will
win $50.00. One point will be awarded
for each match won. For ties, each
player receives 1/2 point. If your opponent does not show, you
must play
against the pre-determined card. The order for which golfer card is
used will
change weekly. The card order will be
pulled prior to the first match of the year and will be posted on the
weekly
score cards. If neither player shows, no
point will be awarded. Money will be paid to the winner at the end of
the year
dinner. In the event of a tie, the
winner will be determined by the most matches won between the tied
players. Example, Team 1 "B" player and Team 9 "B"
player both have 14 points. However, Team 9 "B" had beaten Team
1 "B" 2 matches to 0 during their head to head matches, therefore
Team 9 "B" is the flight leader winner. In the event they each won
one match and are still tied, they will split the $50. DRESS CODE Please abide by
Nemacolin’s stated dress code i.e. No Blue Jeans or Tee Shirts. HOLE-IN-ONE INSURANCE $ 5.00 per player is included in
the yearly entry
fee. If more than one Hole-In-One occurs
on the same league night, money will be split between the winners.
Note,
special team event(s) count for hole in one. The amount of money
awarded to a
hole-in-one recipient will be based on the number of years the winner
has paid
into the fund. Example
1: If a new player makes a Hole-In-One and
he is
the only winner, he will be paid only the money collected for the year
he
joined. Example
2: If a new player and player(s) with 2 or
more years
in the skins pot have a hole in one the same night, all players split
the
current year monies. The veteran player(s) will also collected their
share of
the skins monies he/they has paid in from previous years. Hole-In-One Special Exception: If the hole-in-one
was won by a player who
only won a portion of the hole-in-one pot, the remaining money will be
available the remaining weeks to all other players that still have
money in the
hole-in-one pot.
