-
The first and
most important rule of the Alamance Church Golf League is
have
fun. Sportsmanship and golf etiquette must be observed at
all times. If there is a question are any questions concerning a
rules procedure during play do not make a ruling within the group.
Play two balls, announce which score of the two balls you wish to
count, and seek a ruling from the PGA Professional in the Pro Shop.
-
Team captains
must submit a roster by April. A check of $100.00 made payable to
the Alamance Church Golf League must accompany the team roster. A
church may enter as many teams as they wish as long as the teams
can field 4 players each week. A church with multiple teams can not
interchange players between teams. An individual must remain with
the same team throughout the entire season.
-
Churches are
encouraged to submit rosters with players from their church.
However if there is a team that needs additional player to fill the
roster, a church may recruit golfers
from other churches not participating in the league. These players
must be placed on the roster at the beginning of the season.
-
Churches may
add members to their team after the first half. Additions must be
submitted in writing to the Church League Director,
Mark Hopkins, and approved by the other team captains.
-
Churches must
submit a roster of at least six (6) players. The ACCGL invites players of all calibers and genders
regardless of age to participate. Maximum allowable handicap
accepted will be 36
( based on 18 hole scores) or 18
for the Church League.
-
All matches
will take place on Tuesday evenings with a 5:30 pm shotgun start. Team
captains must contact and remind players that they are scheduled to
compete. The success of the entire church league revolves around
this communication between captain and team members. Failure to
field a team three times during the season will result in
disqualification from the league now and possibly future seasons.
-
In the case of
inclement weather conditions before the scheduled 5:30 pm shotgun start, contact
the Southwick Golf Shop at 336-227-2582 for a decision on course
playability. Cancelled matches will not be rescheduled. In the case
of rain out during competition, the
round will not count toward the regular season standing all players
will be issued a credit on their account if play does not extend
past the 4th finished hole.
-
Because of the
late evening shotgun start, slow play will not be tolerated. Groups
that fall more than two holes behind will penalized by the matches
not counting towards the team standings. All teams must be finished
by 8pm, no
exceptions. Scorecards must be returned to the Pro shop immediately
after the round. No scorecard, no points!!
-
The lie of the
ball may be improved one club length “through the green”.
-
The Rules of
the United States Golf Association will govern play except where a
provision is made within this text and adopted the Captains of the
Church League
-
The maximum
score made on any hole will be triple bogey. If a player is at
triple bogey and not in the hole, pick the ball up and write triple
bogey on the score card
-
Men, age 59
and under, will play the white tee markers. Men, age 60 to 74, will
play from the gold tee markers, and Men, age 75 and up, will play
the red tee markers. Ladies will play the red tee markers.
Juniors, 10 to 14 will play the gold tee markers. Juniors, age 9
and under, will play the red tee markers.
-
All
participants must check-in and pay prior to play. The Alamance
Church Golf League has arranged a discounted nine
hole cart and green fee of $12.00 for all
participants. Two dollars ($2.00) of all golf fees collected will be
donated by Southwick Golf Club to a charity of the ACCGL choosing.
Participants will be informed at the time of check-in of their
hole assignment and opponent for the
evening.
-
Should a
church have less than four players arrive to play, the
remainder of the players are allowed to
compete. The short team must occupy the A,B,
or C positions in that order of priority.
