14 Event Rules & Regulations Event Registration: Registration for an event on any given day in this guide or otherwise will be available in the Golf Shop or online at plantationlakesclub.com. Registration forms may be required for certain events. Registration for any given event will open one month in advance, and will close one week prior to the event. Tee time availability will not be guaranteed if any person signs up to play after registration has closed. Rules of Golf: During club events, the USGA Rules of Golf will govern play. If any questions regarding a rules decision should occur on the golf course, simply follow Rule 3-3 of the USGA Rules of Golf: When proceeding under Rule 3-3, the player must: Announce to his marker or fellow-competitor his intention to proceed under Rule 3-3. Specify which ball he wishes to count if the Rules so permit. Hole out with both balls As provided in Rule 33-8a, the Committee may make and publish Local Rules for local abnormal conditions such as definitions of boundaries, margins, and status of objects, course protection, course conditions, obstructions, and dropping zones. Etiquette: In an effort to uphold a steady pace of play, the Golf Shop staff may pair single players or twosomes with another group in an effort to reduce the likelihood of interference with other groups during their rounds. One 9-Hole round of golf takes about 2 hours to play, or just under 15-minutes per hole. The Golf Shop staff will do their best to inform players about the pace of play on a given day, however to better predict and anticipate the factors needed to uphold pace of play, golfers are strongly encouraged to book tee times in advance, and adhere to their assigned tee time and group. All golfers should be ready to commence play at the tee area at their designated tee time, if late for a tee time, ask the Starter or Golf Shop Attendant to reposition you on the tee sheet. Do not under any circumstances commence play from anywhere other than the assigned hole, tee off before or after your tee time, or confront a group or player regarding slow play. Your Golf Professional staff greatly appreciates your consideration of the rules of golf and any club policies or rules that relate to play or conduct. It is our responsibility to uphold these guidelines as professionals, so in an effort to make your Golf Benefitted Membership experience as friendly and enjoyable as possible, we ask that you do not confront any other golfers on property regarding the club s policies. Instead, contact the Golf Shop so that a Golf Professional can handle violations in a professional, courteous manner

15 DSGA Handicap: Handicap Indexes established under the United States Golf Association (USGA) Handicap System are the backbone of amateur golf. They enable all golfers at your club to play equitably with one another and, with the help of the USGA Slope system, to play away from home with equal ease and equality. In order play in any Plantation Lakes events, eligible golfers must have an active handicap registered with the club. All stroke play scores must be posted, including 9-hole scores for rounds of 7 to 12 holes completed, and 18-hole scores for rounds of 13 holes or more. Example: If you play 13 holes but do not finish the round, you can calculate an 18-hole score by totaling your strokes for 13 holes, adding the total par for the holes that you did not play, and finally adding the number of handicap strokes to which you are entitled on the holes you did not play. Posted scores must be reduced when you have an unusually high number of strokes on any hole. This procedure is called Equitable Stroke Control or ESC. Equitable Stroke Control: To use ESC properly, you must first determine the number of strokes you receive when playing that course and tee. Then use the following table to assist you 18-Hole Course Handicap Maximum Hole Score 9-Hole Course Handicap 9 or less Double Bogey 4 or less 10 through through 9 20 through through through through or more or more If you do not complete a hole or pick-up, you can score the hole by recording the most likely score you would have had if you had finished the hole (remember to use Equitable Stroke Control) Tournament scores must be identified by a T when they are posted. The Handicap Committee is permitted to reduce a golfer s handicap due to exceptional play in tournaments, a beginner golfer s rapid improvement, player whose handicaps increase due to a large number of away scores, and/or repeated failure to post scores
