1 NOTES FOR REVIVE ACTIVE TEAM MANAGERS 2018 In order to aid the smooth running of the competition, the following notes for the Team Manager have been compiled: It is not compulsory to have a Manager but you may find it helpful as the matches are played on a HOME and AWAY basis on the same day. The Manager may be a playing member of the team. Players must have played 3 qualifying competitions (i.e. either three 18 or three 9 Hole qualifying rounds) in the previous 12 months from the date of the player s first match. A Club with Home Status may choose any three of the pairings to play at home. The remaining two pairings shall play away. A Club with Away Status may choose any three of the pairings to play away. The remaining two pairings shall play at home. Pair must play in combined handicap order at each venue. The combined handicap limit of each pair must not be less than 19 and not exceed 46. Ensure that each team member knows the Conditions of the Competition and the Rules of Golf. Before starting a match the players should determine from one another their respective handicaps. Rule 6-2 Handicap (Match Play). It is advisable that all players confirm their handicap on the team sheet before the sheet is exchanged. Any player who holds a current ILGU buggy certificate should ensure to show the certificate to the opposing Manager at the time of exchanging team sheets before play. In each Four-Ball match, the lowest handicap players will play off scratch (0) and will concede strokes to the other three players based on 90% of the difference between the full handicaps (CONGU handicap allowances). See 90% calculation table. The example below includes a player who plays off scratch (0) and better (+). Player A, handicap +2 & Player B, handicap 23 Player C handicap 0 & Player D, handicap 22 Player A is the lowest handicap and goes to scratch (0). The difference between Player A and Player B is % of 25 is 22.5 so Player B plays off 23. The difference between Player C and Player A is 2. 90% of 2 is 1.8 so Player C plays off 2. The difference between Player D and Player A is % of 24 is Player D plays off 22.

2 Commencement of play at each venue should not be more than 20 minutes apart. If the course is closed on the day of the match, or play is discontinued because the course is unplayable, the matches on the other course may be completed. In this instance, the team cannot practice on the course before resumption of play (Rule 7-2). However, playing in a home club competition is not considered to be practice. If one course is closed on the day of the match, all matches should be played on the other course. If play is discontinued because the course becomes unplayable, play should be resumed within 3 days. Make your team aware of Rule 30 Four-Ball match play and you are advised to read Decisions 2-4/21 and 30-3a/3 should these situations arise. Remember that not all penalties in match play are loss of hole this particularly applies to Four-Ball match play. Remind your players to make their concession of a hole very clear; preferably pick up the ball and hand to the opponent. Pace of play A four-ball match should not take any longer than 4 hours 30 minutes maximum to play. Agree with your opposing Manager that you both will move your players on if play is slow. It is requested that the start time of the first match together with the final conclusion time of all matches is recorded on the team sheet and reported to the ILGU office when notifying the result. Rounds to be played as per draw-sheet. Caddies are NOT permitted. The Team Manager should always have a copy of the Rules of Golf with her on the course.
