Rules
- 1. If a ball is hit OB, there is a 1 stroke penalty and you can play the ball anywhere in the line of flight from the original position to where the ball went OB.
- 2. You may improve your lie with the club head in the fairway or rough. The ball is not to be moved in a sand trap or other designated hazard.
- 3. The maximum score on any hole is three(3) over par. For scores that would exceed 3-over par, enter a "M" prefix, followed by the max score. A score with a "M" prefix cannot win the hole.
- 4. Please limit your search for a missing ball to 5 minutes or less. We do play drop zones on the water holes. #5 is to the left of the lake and behind the sand trap. #12 is on the other side of the lake next to the cart path on the green side of the cart path. #15 is ahead and to the left of the ladies tee. All other rules of Tara Hills and golf apply.
- 5. We play from the white tees. Persons 70 and over or 65 and over with at least a 13 handicap may choose to play from the Senior Tees.
- 6. For new players or subs: your handicap will be established the first night of play at 90% of the difference between your score and par (35 at Tara Hills). The computer will pick up your handicap after 3 nights of play.
- 7. For opponents playing with extreme differences in handicap: Only 1 stroke per hole is given to determine the winner of the hole. However, the total difference is given to determine total.
- 8. No-Shows - The single player will play against the member of the opposing team with the closest handicap to the player for the individual points. Team points will go to the full team.
- 9. Points - There are 9 points for each team match. There are 6 points for the 2 individual matches and 3 points for the team. For the individual matches there 2 points for holes won and 1 for low net. The team with lowest total net score wins the 3 team points. Ties are split in half. A No-Show loses his individual points and team points.
- 10. The league season consists of (2) 10 week halves. On championship night the top team from each half compete for season winner and the 2nd place team from each half compete for season 3rd and 4th place. In case of ties, the winner is determined by the lowest net score on the hardest hole (same rule applies for fun night competitions).
