5 Main Rules:

1. No mulligans (obviously)

   • No breakfast balls either. This is legit!

2. No gimmes

   • Putt everything in!

3. Play everything as Red stakes, not White

   • Go to where your ball entered the hazard or native area, drop your ball within 2 club lengths from the hazard line, count your 1 penalty stroke, and hit your next shot

   • Courses we will be playing have a ton of “native areas” or places where there should be red stakes but they don’t have them marked everywhere – this just simplifies everything

   • If your ball didn't fully cross a canyon or a water hazard or a native area, you can't go over to the other side and drop (unless there is a designated, marked "Drop Zone" on that hole, which we will confirm with the course before the round)

4. Max score anyone can take on an individual hole is a 10

5. Pick, clean, and place in FAIRWAYS only. Play everything down (no adjusting lies, etc.)

• • • Unless we deem “Winter Rules” are in play before a certain tournament, which would likely be the case in March/April tourneys

We play Net Stroke Play tournaments - so your Gross score minus your Course Handicap for that week (based on the course and tees).

We use the USGA GHIN Handicap system - keep a current handicap! 

Handicaps are calculated by averaging the Differential of your 8 best scores out of your last 20 rounds. If you don't have 20 rounds, your handicap is calculated per the below table.

Each member is putting in $60 toward the season "winnings" bucket - so 24 members total makes $1,440 in the pot this season.

Each dollar = 1 point in our season standings.

So, 1,440 points to earn throughout the year across 6 tourneys in 2023. Three of our tourneys this year (4 next year) will be designated "Majors" and will be worth more points relative to the non-majors.

Each tournament, the Top 6 Net scores will earn points according to the table below - 1st place earns 115 for a Major and 77 for a Non-Major, etc.

Points will be accumulated throughout the year and a Season Standings will be shown weekly on our website - the Season Champ is whoever ends the season with the most points accumulated.

League finances are simple – everyone pays for their own green fees each tournament (Venmo @danny-jones-2), and “league entry” is $101 total

• $36 covers your USGA GHIN membership connected to UGL

• $5 goes toward the coveted Blue Jacket for the season champ

• $60 goes straight to final standings payout structure
