30 Other Useful Information Notices: The Club posts Local Rules and other general notices on the Notice Board and users of the Course are advised to check them before proceeding to play. Special conditions for some competitions will be advised on the day. Holes in One: Will be recognised by the Club for all Members and Honorary Members who have entered and are playing in a club competition event. Eagle Prizes: Three balls per Eagle. Restricted to Club Members in all Club events of 18 holes or more, including all Midweek and Open events but excluding events such as Foursomes, Ambrose, Canadian, etc except where only one person achieves the Eagle e.g. a Hole in One. All Charity and Matchplay events are excluded. Disputes: Any disputes relating to the competition of the day will, whenever possible, be determined by the available members of the Match Committee. In the unlikely event that none are available the result will be held over until the earliest opportunity for the Match Committee to rule on the dispute. Disqualification: Players disqualified from completing the event of the day are still eligible for prizes such as NTP, Eagles, Birdies and Holes in One. 30

31 Priority on the Course The Curator, his staff and volunteers assisting the Curator have right of way and priority on the course over all players. Players in the event of the day have priority over social or practising players. A single player has no standing and must give way to all others. Any match playing a full round has priority over a shorter round. If a match is failing to keep their place in the field they should allow following match (es) to play through. Men s Championships Grades A 0 to 9 B 10 to 15 C 16 to 21 D 22 to 36 Children Due to the inherent dangers of the golf course property, all children on Club property must be under the strict control of their parents or a responsible adult at all times. 31

32 Etiquette To quote the Rules of Golf on the matter of the Spirit of the Game: Golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies upon the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and abide by the Rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the game of golf. The game of golf is fairly unique in that the players of the game are the custodians of the game s spirit and keepers of the course they play on. All players should follow the rules of the game and the etiquette as well to increase the enjoyment of all. For your advice, the following ideas are presented to help you understand your responsibilities while on the course: 1. All players should take the time before teeing off to acquaint themselves with any local rules posted on the notice boards. 2. No-one should move, talk or stand close or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke. 3. The player who has the honour should be allowed to play before his opponent or fellow competitor tees the ball, but never to the extent where play is unduly delayed. 32

33 4. In the interest of all, players should play without delay. If the player with the honour is unable for whatever reason to play before the others in their group then one of the other players should endeavour to play first to keep the game moving. 5. No player shall play until players in front are out of range. 6. Where it is evident that finding a lost ball may take some time, players searching for the ball should allow other players coming up to pass them: they should signal to the players following them to pass and should not continue their play until the players in front are out of range. 7. All players should carry a sand bucket and repair divots through the green. 8. Before leaving a bunker a player must carefully fill up all holes and footmarks made by him and replace the rake into the lowest part of the bunker. If others before you have not followed this rule, it is suggested that you take the time, without unduly delaying play, to repair the damage done by others. 9. Players should repair plug marks on greens, whether their own or those left by others. 10. Players who carry mobile phones should have them turned off during the round and only ever use them during the round in an emergency. 11. All children on the Club s property must be under strict parental control and are not allowed into the Bar area unless accompanies by an adult. 33

34 Golf Competitions and how they are played These notes are intended to assist players to understand the general concept of how various competitions are played. They must be read in conjunction with The Rules of Golf and in particular with any Conditions the Match Committee may lay down (See Rules 29, 31, 32 and 33). Stroke: Each stroke and any penalties incurred shall be totalled for each hole and recorded on the scorecard against the correct hole. At the end of the round the total for each hole will be added to determine the gross score. The player s handicap is then deducted to determine their nett score. Stableford: A player s handicap determines her/his scoring capacity on each hole. A player will score no points for nett double bogie (and should pick their ball up once they can no longer score), one point for a nett bogie, two points for a nett par, three points for a nett birdie, four points for a nett eagle and so on. Where a point (or points) has been achieved the stroke score is recorded against the correct hole and the points score in the result column. For example, a player with a handicap stroke on a par-four hole will score nil for a 7, one for a 6, two for a 5, three for a 4, four for a 3 and so on. At the end of the round the total number of points is added together. 34

35 Par: Once again a player s handicap determines the scoring for each hole. A player should only continue playing while there is the possibility of achieving a nett par or birdie or better. Once a player has achieved a nett bogie the ball is to be picked up. A nett bogie equates to a loss and is recorded on the card with a minus sign. A nett par equates to a half, recorded on the card with the correct stroke score in one column and a circle sign in the result column. A nett birdie or better is recorded on the card with the correct stroke score in one column and a plus sign in the result column. At the end of the round the plus, half and minus signs are acquitted against each other to determine whether a players has finished up i.e. with more plusses than minuses, square i.e. the plusses and minuses equal each other, or down i.e. the minuses outweigh the plusses. Foursomes: The players play as partners and use only one ball. They strike the ball alternatively from the tee, i.e. Player A tees from 1, 3, 5 and so on while Player B tees from 2, 4, 6 and so on. Where Player A tees off, Player B plays the next shot and they then play alternate shots until the ball is holed out. Where Player B tees off, Player A plays the next shot and they then play alternate shots until the ball is holed out. Incurring a penalty does NOT alter the order of play. The total stroke score, including any penalties, is recorded and the score for each hole is totaled at the end of the round. The total is subject to the deduction of half of the combined handicap to determine the nett score. 35

36 4BBB (or Four Ball, Better Ball): Two players play as partners, each taking handicap strokes as per the index in a normal Stableford or Par round. Both players continue to play until one reaches the better score the pair can achieve on a hole e.g. if Player A makes par, Player B would then pick up if he/she cannot better that score, whether by the nett number of strokes in a Stroke event, the number of points for that hole in a Stableford event or a plus or half result in a Par event. In a Stableford or Par event each player should pick up once they cannot achieve a point or half (and it is possible in these events for neither to score). Where a team achieves a score of 42 points or +6 or more, any player on the card nine or more times for men or twelve times for women, shall be re-handicapped if their adjusted score exceeds the CCR for the competition. The adjusted score is a stroke score compiled using a formula. Variations on the above main ways of playing include: Ambrose: A team stroke event played by teams of two, three or four players. Each player plays from the tee and the team Captain selects the best result and each player plays their next shot from within one club length of the selected shot. The process continues until the ball is on the green or holed out from off the green. On the green each player plays from the mark of the selected ball. The team s handicap is usually the total of the players handicaps divided by double the number of players, e.g. four players = 1/8 th of the total handicaps. 36

37 American Foursomes: Two players form a team. Each player plays a tee shot on each hole, and then plays a second stroke with their partner s ball. The team then selects the better ball and the partner of the player whose ball is selected plays the next shot. The alternate play continues until the ball is holed out. Canadian Foursomes: Two players form a team. Each player plays a tee shot on each hole. The team then selects the better ball and the partner of the player whose ball is selected plays the next shot. The alternate play continues until the ball is holed out. Chapman Foursomes: Two players form a team. Each player plays a tee shot on each hole, and then plays a second stroke with their own ball. The team then selects the better ball and the partner of the player whose ball is selected plays the next shot. The alternate play continues until the ball is holed out. Par/Stableford Bisque: Players are able to choose to allocate their handicap strokes in any way they wish after the playing of each hole and before teeing from the next tee. The allocation continues until each handicap stroke has been taken. Players do not affect their handicap while playing Bisque. 37

38 Match Play: A player plays his/her opponent using the Matchplay index (which at Drouin is the same as the Stroke index) on the card to determine where handicap strokes (if any) are to be used. Initially the lower handicapped player s handicap is reduced to zero and the higher handicapped player s handicap is reduced by the same amount e.g. if Player A has a handicap of 5 and Player B has a handicap of 18 then Player A is reduced to zero and Player B is reduced to 13. Player B therefore has a handicap stroke on the Stroke Index holes from 1 to 13. If Player A and Player B are both on 5, they each have a handicap stroke on the Stroke Index holes from 1 to 5. The lowest nett score for each hole wins the hole. Where the nett scores are tied, the hole is halved. A match is won by a player who is leading by a number of holes greater than the number of holes left to play. Depending upon the rules of the particular event on the day, a match may be halved if the two players match each other s wins, halves and losses over the 18 holes OR the match will proceed to further hole(s) until one player wins a hole. Stableford Multiplier: Two players form a team and the Stableford score for each on each hole is multiplied e.g. If Player A scores 2 Stableford points and Player B scores 2 Stableford points, each player s stroke score and Stableford score is recorded against the appropriate hole. Their combined score, i.e. 4 (2 multiplied by 2) is recorded in the result column. Where Player A scores 2 points and Player B scores no points, the result score is zero (2 by 0 = 0). 38
