Rules

Date: May 18, 2008 1:00pm*
Location: Mattawang Golf Club

All play in the Pirate Alumni & Friends tournaments is governed by the USGA Rules of Golf, as amended by local rules and those set forth below regarding the scramble format. As scramble play is not recognized in the Rules of Golf, the organizers of the Pirate Alumni & Friends have established the following rules to govern this format event.
 
 
RULES OF PLAY
1.1     Scramble Format 


          All four members of the team shall hit one tee shot 
          on every hole. The team then selects one tee shot and continues play    
          from that point. This procedure is repeated until the ball is holed out. 
1.2     Three Tee Shot Requirement


          Each player's tee shot must be used at  least three times during the 
          18-hole competition.
1.3     Where to Play From

         
          Shots through the Green Each team member must play his/her
          shot from  within one club length of the selected shot (except
          when on the putting green). However, the ball may not be placed closer
          to the hole. In addition, if the selected shot was in the fairway, each 
          member of the team must place his/her ball in the fairway to play the 
          next shot. Likewise, if the selected shot was in the rough, bunker, 
          water hazard, fringe, etc., each member of the team must place a ball
          in, and play from, respectively, the rough, bunker, water hazard, fringe, 
          etc. In every instance each team member may place the ball. In other  
          words, all balls are played "up" or under "Winter Rules". Team members 
          may rake bunkers between shots.
1.4     

           Shots on the Putting Green Once the team's ball   has reached the 
           putting green, the ball should be marked and another spot should be 
           marked approximately 6 inches to the side, no nearer to the hole. 
           This will allow the team to mark the ball so that all players 
           can putt from the same spot without being disturbed by the ball marker.
           Once a ball is holed out, play is completed for that hole. Therefore,  
           it is recommended that players not putt out until all players have
           attempted  the putt from the selected position. On the green,
           players may stand behind a teammate to help
           determine the line. 
1.5     
  • Men will play from the White Tee's
  • Women will play from the Red Tee's
