2005 Tournament Rules: I ask that everyone read and follow the tournament rules so that we all have the opportunity to compete on an equal basis. If you have any questions on the rules or the interpretation of the rules, please see the director for the official interpretation. Thanks and enjoy.

1. Everyone gets one mulligan from the tee box each nine holes each day. The player must declare that he is using the mulligan and he must use that ball no matter of its results. (Exception: A player may declare a provisional mulligan if there is a doubt if the first tee shot is out of bounds. If a provisional mulligan is declared, and if the first shot is in bounds, the player must play the first shot no matter what the results of the provisional mulligan.) Mulligans do not carry over from the front nine to the back nine or from one day until the next. We do hope that you play well enough that you do not need to use any mulligans for the entire tournament. Note: You cannot use your mulligan to win a prize for the longest drive or for closest to the pin. Your first shot is the one that counts for any prize event.

2. A player may move his ball anyway on the golf course except in the sand trap, in a water hazard, on the green, or if the ball is out of bounds you cannot move the ball a club length so that it is back in bounds. This is meant to give a proper lie without improving the general playing conditions. You cannot move the ball from the rough to the fairway nor from the fringe to the green, etc. We also no longer employ the Harmon rule so to move the ball on the green one club length closer to/or into the hole.

3. All out of bounds…one stroke penalty from the spot that the ball went out of bounds or into the water. This means that if you hit a ball into the water or out of bounds from the tee or fairway, you go to the spot nearest to the spot that the ball went into the water or out of bounds and drop a ball at that spot adding one stroke to your score.

4. No gimmie putts…”all” putts must be holed out. “no exceptions” Two stroke penalty if done.

5. No more than double par score should be place on the official score card. You may complete the hole if you wish and keep your personal score for your own record, but in the tournament scoring system, no player should score over double par on any hole. (This means on a par 72 course…the highest possible score is 144).

6. We enforce the Jim Sullivan, Sr. rule. No looking more than 3 minutes for any lost ball. If it is lost leave it.

7. Seniors….60 years of age or older may use the senior tees. All others must use the white tees. (This does not include the captions choice day where other rules are in place.)

8. On Captain’s choice day, a team making a birdie moves back one set of tees on the next hole. A team making a bogie on a hole moves up one set of tees. Two bogies in a row, the team moves up two sets of tees. All pars play from the white tees, except for seniors who play from the senior tees. If a group scores a birdie and move to the blue tees, the seniors move to the white tees. If a group scores a bogie and move to the senior tees, the senior plays from the red tees.

9. Any score card not completed and attested will be disqualified and zero points allocated to all in the group for the day.

10. Any player not completing a round will forfeit the score for the day and receive zero points for the day.

11. Any player that does not arrive at the course at least 20 minutes prior to the published tee time may be disqualified by the tournament director. A disqualified player receives zero points for the day.

12. The tournament director will post the tee times on the door of room 50403 no later than 8:00 PM prior to the day of play.
