In the event that an entire team drops from the league, any substitute team will start with the same record as the lowest team in the standings at the time the substitute team joins the league. Matches played against the original team will stand in their opponents record. ROSTERS Teams will consist of two members, with each team selecting its own captain. lf one member is absent, an alternate may play in his place.

The most recent score replaces the oldest round. For new players to the league, their scores will also be calculated each week, but they obviously do not have the scores from the past year, and therefore will have only the current season to go by. Handicaps are frozen at the end of the regular season (15/16 week schedule). Scores from the past ten scores submitted are used. Handicaps are revised for each new week of play, and posted before the day of play at the Deerwood Club House (Fairways Restaurant). Handicap will decrease appropriately as the player improves, (could decrease by more than one stroke per week), but can only increase by one stroke each week. Handicap is based upon the past ten (10) scores submitted.

5 9-B 9-C 9-D 9-E All scores are entered as they were played. However, for the purpose of determining handicaps, the USGA handicap system will be used. Entered scores on cards will be "adjusted" using the USGA Equitable Stroke Control Chart. The process of determining "Handicap" is adjusted score minus the Course Slope, multiplied by 113, divided by Course Rating, this gives you your Handicap Differential, then multiplied by 0.96 to get your Handicap Index. Once the Handicap Index is established, using the USGA Course Handicap Calculator your, 9-Hole Handicap is established. Note : Handicap Index is the average of the last ten (10) scores submitted, as per Rule 9-A Example: (Score = Adj Score - Slope x 113 / Rating x 0.96 = Handicap Index - USGA Calculator = 9 Hole Handicap Maximum handicap is (18) eighteen strokes for net play. A player will use his total handicap for net play, but only is granted one (1) stroke on a par three. The additional remaining handicap strokes will be used on the next highest handicapped holes. Example : John has a Handicap of eighteen (18), Bob has a handicap of eight (8), (18-8=10), Bob will be giving John ten (10) handicap strokes. John will receive one (1) stroke on each of the nine holes played an one additional stoke on the first highest handicap hole, receiving two (2) handicap strokes on that one hole. A player will receive their total handicap for 9 Hole in net "Skins" play. Handicap's will be your 18 hole Handicap for the end of the year Tournament A 10-B 10-C 10-D A MEMBERSHIP DUES League Dues are due the first month of the season (May) which are $ to be paid to Treasurer, if no payment is received by May 31st your dues will be increased $5.00 per month, and (2) two points will be deducted from your team each week payment is not received.

Rule 9-D will take effect here A 13-B 13-C DETERMINING STANDARDS for CHAMPIONSHIP There are two divisions. Places in the standings will be determined by the total number of points. In the event of a tie in total points at the end of the season for first or second place, there will be a playoff. The two or more teams involved must arrange a mutual time, and play with the posted handicaps. As soon as the first two places have been determined, these two teams from each division will play each other, with the winner moving to the League Championship against the winner from the other division.
