Select Sweeps Signup for the next week s game or Tournament Signup for an upcoming event Players MUST be ready to tee off at least 20 minutes before tee time due to possible last-minute changes.

4 play is canceled due to weather and is not a special event, the sign-up sheet will not carry over, and a new sign-up sheet will be posted. Note: Do not sign up another member NOR move another member s name on the signup sheet without permission. Guests Members may invite guests to play with the Friday group, but must play at the end of the field. There must be at least TWO members in the foursome for the members to be eligible for the Sweeps. A guest may play two times as a guest and then must join the club to play a third time. SCORECARDS ONWGC routinely uses three scorecards - Handicap, Sweeps (weekly games) and Ringer (twice yearly over a 4-month period). If scheduled play is a tournament, the Tournament scorecard replaces the Sweeps scorecard. Every scorecard submitted MUST be accurate and dated. Please list the players' names in your group alphabetically by last name double-spaced on the scorecards. Enter both gross and net scores, and each card must be signed by at least two players. Following is an explanation of each of the scorecards used. Handicap Each player group completes and turns in their scorecard to the Handicap Chair, who assures that scores are posted correctly to the SCGA handicap system. Three kinds of scores: Gross Score - total number of strokes played during the round Net Score number of strokes played minus your handicap Adjusted Score Gross score adjusted down using Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) for hole(s) with a high number of strokes (see Equitable Stroke Control under the Some Rules You Need to Know section of this handbook). If you used an ESC for a hole, you must post your Adjusted Score. 4

5 Note: Your ONWGC scorecards must show your actual Gross Score Adjusted Scores are for posting only. All scores must be accurately totaled, your net score must be recorded after subtracting your handicap, and your handicap must be written on the scorecard next to your last name. New members who have not yet established a handicap write Q where the net score is normally written. A Handicap Index, issued by SCGA, indicates a golfer s skill and ability. Your Handicap Index travels with you from course to course and determines the number of handicap strokes you receive - depending upon the length and difficulty of the course played. All ONWGC members belong to SCGA and receive a handicap index sanctioned by the USGA that is updated on the 1 st and 15 th of each month. A list of members current handicaps is posted on the Bulletin Board and sent via to all members. Maximum acceptable index is 40.4 Maximum handicap is 30 at Oaks North (may be different at other courses) Posting Your Score After play, you must post your GROSS (or ADJUSTED) score promptly and (on the day of play) deposit your signed and attested scorecard in the box provided in the Pro Shop. You may use the computer in the Pro Shop to post your score. The GHIN mobile app for posting scores is available on most smart devices. When you post, the type is typically Home because you are a member of ONWGC. You may have more than one Home course if you belong to more than one golf club. Select Tournament only for SCGA sanctioned tournaments. If you need instruction on posting, any existing member is glad to help. A player joining the club with an existing handicap must indicate her current GHIN# on the ONWGC application so that the information can be transferred by our Handicap Chair. A new member with a GHIN# will be listed on the next handicap update report after joining. 5

6 If you are a new member and do not have a handicap, SCGA will assign one at the time of your online application. After playing five 18-hole rounds or ten 9-hole rounds, you will receive a handicap index in accordance with the USGA Handicap System. You are then notified by SCGA via of your updated handicap index on the 15th and the last day of the month. A current handicap list is posted on the Oaks North bulletin board twice a month. Sweeps Sweeps are games played each Friday, except Fridays where a tournament is planned. Each member with an established handicap who is playing 18 holes is required to enter the EVENT OF THE DAY SWEEPS, pay the sweeps fee and sign in on the Sweeps sheet provided at the Pro Shop front desk. Be sure to enter your CORRECT handicap on the Sweeps sheet. Remember that your handicap at Oaks North may vary depending on which two courses we are playing. The Pro Shop will collect the $2 Sweeps fee unless it is a tournament day. Note: Sweeps scores are separate from your actual gross and net scores for the day; unrelated to posting your score. Winners of the weekly Sweeps game receive prize money credit quarterly to be used at Oaks North for items in the Pro Shop, Snack Bar, or applied toward the renewal of your JC Players Card (not golf fees). The prize money is issued at the end of each quarter in the form of a credit card that is kept at the Pro Shop front desk. After a member uses the card for a credit toward a purchase, the card must be returned to the front desk. Any additional Sweeps winnings in the next quarter will be added to the card by the employees at the front desk. See the Sweeps Calendar in this handbook for the specific game to be played each Friday. Complete a Sweeps scorecard each Friday (that is NOT a Tournament) and turn in to the Sweeps Chair, or place it in the Sweeps box in the Pro Shop. The Sweeps scorecards must be netted out, and the game calculated in an unused area of the card (in the area of the 3rd nine that was not played). 6

7 A player may be disqualified from Sweeps for the following: Wrong score posted. Failure to sign scorecard. At least two players in the group must sign the SWEEPS scorecard. Failure to use correct handicap. Any player who signs her scorecard(s) which has her incorrect handicap shall be disqualified. Birdies Circle birdies on Sweeps cards. Prizes are awarded for most birdies for the year. Only circled numbers will be counted. Tournaments This handbook lists the tournaments and the date that tournament is scheduled for the year. These tournaments replace the Friday Sweeps games; they are a fun change of pace and an opportunity to win prizes and money. Each tournament is run by the Tournament Chair and/or her assistant who will provide members with details of the tournament and often will provide scorecards to participants before the start of the tournament. The Tournament Chair will also notify participants where to turn in the completed scorecards. Of the tournaments on our list, two are SCGA sanctioned tournaments: Club Championship and President s Cup. A member must have played 6 games in the preceding six months to be eligible to participate in the SCGA sanctioned tournaments. When posting your score for these official tournaments, you must post T for tournaments. For all other tournaments, post your score as H for Home. Ringer Ringer is a competition based on hole-by-hole gross scores and adjusted handicap over a period of four months. Members may participate in Ringer (optional) by signing up and paying the $2 Ringer fee. 1 st Ringer February through May 2 nd Ringer July through October Complete a Ringer scorecard each Friday when Ringer is being played and turn in to the Ringer Chair. 7

8 Fees are collected in January for the 1st Ringer, and in June for the 2nd Ringer. Ringer winners names are posted on the bulletin board and all members will be notified of Ringer winners via . Winnings are distributed by the Ringer Chair at the end of each Ringer session. Scorecards Summary Assure that all cards are accurate, added correctly, netted out, and signed by at least two players.

For complete rules, refer to Rules of Golf and Rules of Amateur Status, published by the USGA. Any mention of a rule# below refers to USGA rule book, unless otherwise noted. 12

13 BASICS TO KNOW: Out of bounds is defined by white stakes Water penalty areas are defined by yellow stakes or lines Lateral penalty areas are defined by red stakes or lines Ground under repair is defined by white lines or signage Taking relief ball must be dropped from knee height and ball must come to rest in relief area OUT OF BOUNDS OR LOST BALL Per the rules of golf, player should hit a provisional ball from the original position, but declare it as such before playing it. ONWGC has instituted a local rule to allow for an additional option (see below). Provisional ball DECLARE and hit a provisional ball from original position: If it is determined the ball IS lost or out of bounds, continue playing provisional ball with 1-STROKE PENALTY. If ball is actually not lost or out of bounds, simply play original ball with no penalty. ONWGC LOCAL RULE allows golfers an additional relief option, but it is taken with a 2-STROKE PENALTY: 1. Determine where ball went out of bounds or is likely to be lost 2. Drop a ball in the near vicinity of where the ball is lost or out of bounds (including the nearest fairway area). You may take up to two club lengths inside the fairway. Recommendation: If you believe you may achieve greater distance or benefit from replaying the shot, then hit a provisional ball from the original position with 1-STROKE PENALTY (count 1 for original shot, 2 for penalty, and 3 for replayed shot). Otherwise, follow the local rule to drop the ball in the near vicinity of where it is lost or out of bounds with 2-STROKE PENALTY (count 1 for original shot and add 2 for penalty = 3 total, then play your 4th shot). HITTING THE WRONG BALL Player must go back to where the ball originally lay and play her own ball with 2-STROKE PENALTY. 13

14 TREE ROOTS If your ball comes to rest on a tree root, you may move it off the tree root to avoid an unsafe shot, and play it as unplayable with 1-STROKE PENALTY. LIFTING AND REPLACING BALL (tee to green) If you must move a ball in order to identify if it is yours, place a tee behind the ball, pick up the ball, identify it and replace it exactly where it had been, with NO penalty. ALL MAN-MADE OBJECTS A ball coming to rest on the following, or near enough to interfere with the stroke or stance, may be picked up and placed no more than one club length from the nearest point of relief - not nearer the hole - with NO PENALTY: cart paths service roads surface drainage ditches sprinkler heads staked or braced trees standing water any object used for course maintenance UNPLAYABLE BALL The player may deem her ball unplayable at any place on the course, except when the ball is in a water penalty area. The player is the sole judge as to whether her ball is unplayable. If the player deems her ball to be unplayable, she must, with 1-STROKE PENALTY: Proceed under the stroke and distance provision of Rule 18.1 by playing a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played; OR Place a tee behind the point where the ball lay, keeping that point directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped, with no limit to how far behind that point, the ball may be dropped; OR Drop a ball within two club-lengths of the spot where the ball lay, but not closer to the hole. 14

15 If the unplayable ball is in a bunker, there are four options: Drop a ball in the bunker behind the point where the ball lay with no limit to how far behind with 1-STROKE PENALTY Drop a ball in the bunker within two club-lengths of the spot where the ball lay, but not nearer the hole with 1- STROKE PENALTY Replay the ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the ball was last played with 1-STROKE PENALTY Take back-on-the-line relief (outside of the bunker) on a line from the hole to where the ball rest in the bunker as far back as player prefers with 2-STOKE PENALTY When proceeding under the Unplayable Ball Rule, the player may lift and clean her ball or substitute a ball. If your ball enters a clump of trees or bushes, you can find it but cannot play it, there is 1-STROKE PENALTY for every two club lengths you carry it out to the fairway (see Local Rules for one exception for ONWGC only) It is better to: Declare the ball unplayable and replay it with 1-STROKE PENALTY, OR Even better play a provisional ball when you see it enter the trees. If the first ball is playable, you can pick up the provisional ball with no penalty. FIELD SHOTS Regardless of golf club used, any shot off the green is a Field Shot. ON THE GREEN Do not walk on another player s line. All putts must be holed out. A ball on the green moved by an approach shot must be moved back as close as possible to its original position. When marking a ball on the green, put marker directly behind the ball, not to the side or front. When replacing the ball, put it directly in front of the marker, not inches in front. If the marker interferes with another player, it should be moved one or more putter heads length to one side, lining up the move with a fixed object such as a tree, so as to replace the marker in its original position. 15

16 There is a 2-STROKE PENALTY to the golfer putting when her ball putted from on the green strikes an opponent s ball. The opponent s ball must be returned to its original position. There is NO penalty for striking the flagstick. This includes whether flagstick is in the hole or lying on the green. As a courtesy, the first player to putt out should tend the flag and replace the flag when all have putted out. WINTER RULES Local Rules For ONWGC Winter Rules (preferred lies) are in effect only when "Winter Rules" is posted on the signup sheet. The player may mark her ball, lift, clean and replace the ball, no nearer to the hole with NO penalty, from tee to green. WATER PENALTY AREAS All water penalty areas (whether red or yellow stakes) shall be considered lateral and played as if in a red penalty area. Proceed under Rule 17.1d for any of the following options. Stroke and distance relief Back-on-the-line relief Lateral relief (two club lengths from where ball entered the penalty area) OAKS NORTH PROBLEM AREAS #2 & #3 NORTH large shrub near #2 green and #3 tee areas shall be considered a red penalty area. Lateral relief 2 club lengths from where the ball entered the shrubs, no closer to the hole, with 1-STROKE PENALTY #3 NORTH shrubs on the right near the hole shall be considered a red penalty area. Lateral relief 2 club lengths from where the ball entered the shrubs, no closer to the hole, with 1-STROKE PENALTY #4 & #5 SOUTH the creek that runs between the holes is a red penalty area. You may take relief on either side from where the ball entered, no closer to the hole, with 1-STROKE PENALTY #7 SOUTH - the rock and cement embankment by the lake is a lateral penalty area and the ball may be moved to either side, no closer to the hole, with 1-STROKE PENALTY. 16

17 Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) ESC is the downward adjustment of individual hole scores for handicap purposes to make handicaps more representative of a player s potential ability. For example, if you have a high number of strokes on a hole (such as a 10, 11, 12 etc.) you will adjust your score before posting using Equitable Stroke Control (ESC). The table below lists the maximum number of strokes per hole you can post based on your handicap, and is used only when your actual score exceeds the maximum number. Course Handicap 9 or less 6 10 through through through or more 10 Max # of strokes on any hole A new golf player just learning the game (with no handicap) must use the maximum handicap index (40.4 for women) converted to a course handicap to determine a maximum ESC number. The player will post 10X on the scorecard instead of playing the hole to completion. This is more representative of the handicap (or pending handicap) and does not hold up the game for others. Adjusting Hole Scores - Unfinished Holes: If a player starts and does not complete a hole or is conceded a stroke, she shall record for handicap purposes the score she most likely would have made. This most likely score should be preceded by an "X". Such score shall not exceed his EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL limit in the table above. Adjusting Hole Scores Holes Not Played: If a player does not play a hole or plays it other than under the Rules of Golf (except for preferred lies), her score for that hole for handicap purposes shall be par plus any handicap strokes she is entitled to receive on the hole. When recording the hole score, precede the score with an "X". 17

18 Etiquette All members will extend full courtesy and golf etiquette to all golfers on the course. Do not disturb play by moving, TALKING, or making unnecessary noise while someone is hitting. There are no repeat shots permissible at any time during play whether there has been a distraction or not. Pace of Play In order to maintain pace of play, each group must stay within two strokes of the group in front of them. Ways to speed up play: Play ready golf! Remove your club covers prior to play and leave them in the cart, and replace them at the end of the round. Limit your practice swings. Driving the cart? Drop your partner off at her ball with 2-3 clubs and go to your ball. When you have played, go pick up your partner. Park your cart past or beside the green where you won t be holding up the players behind you when you are leaving the green. Do not spend unnecessary time looking for lost balls. The rules allow 3 minutes to search for a lost ball. If you are falling behind the group in front of you, have the first 2 players that hole their ball on the green go to the next hole and tee off to save time. If you are able to "putt out", please do so, unless you would be standing on someone s line. Watch everyone's ball from the tee. Record your scores at the NEXT tee. Questions If any rules questions arise during play, play a second ball and check with the Rules Chairman after completion of play. 18
