4 RIVERVIEW JUNIOR GOLF RULES SCORING: No Mulligans No Gimmies PUTT OUT EACH HOLE If a ball goes in a water hazard, drop ball back from where it went in, keeping the spot it went in between you and the hole ADD ONE STROKE. In the sand trap, after three attempts in sand trap, place ball outside of trap no closer to hole, add one stroke to the other three attempts. If the ball is in a particularly difficult place in the trap, it may be dropped two club lengths away, not closer to the pin, but still in the trap. ADD ONE STROKE for unplayable lie. RAKE TRAP SMOOTHLY! If the ball is on the apron of the green, the putter may be used, but it is not counted as a putt. For a long putt, one player may tend the flag stick for the one putting. The flag stick should be pulled after the ball is hit. It is a two stroke penalty if a players ball strikes the stick when played from the putting green. Mark balls on greens with coins or ball markers. It is a two stroke penalty to hit another ball when putting on the green. Remember to repair all ball marks on the green. Out-of-bounds or lost ball...hit another ball from the original spot. Count the first ball out of play and ADD ONE STROKE. A WHIFF counts as one stroke. Count all whiffs. Never take more than one practice swing. If scoring questions come up during play, play a second ball and consult the Pro Shop at the turn or after the round. 9 and 18 Holers should carry a current rules book. PLEASE STUDY, REVIEW AND DISCUSS THESE RULES. THESE RULES PROTECT THE COURSE, HELP THE JUNIORS LEARN TO SCORE AND MAKE GOLF FUN FOR ALL!

5 CART SAFETY The members of Riverview Golf and Country Club have graciously permitted the Junior Golf Program the use of powered golf carts during our Thursday sessions. To ensure our privileges, please observe the following: **All passengers in a cart must be seated on golf cart seat. **Riding on wheel wells or standing on the bag carriage will not be allowed! **Please observe all cart rules **The Pro Shop will not allow anyone to operate carts in an unsafe manner. **All drivers must be 16 years of age and have a valid California Drivers License and permission from the Pro Shop. 3-HOLERS Rules of Play: Local 3-Holer rule for ball in a bunker you may, after two failed attempts, drop the ball outside the bunker within two club lengths no nearer the hole and ADD ONE PENALTY STROKE. If you whiff the ball two (2) times in a row, pick it up and walk as may as five (5) steps (you may not need that many if you are near the green), drop the ball on a nice clump of grass and try again. ADD ONE PENALTY STROKE. If you get up to twelve (12) strokes on a hole, pick up the ball, mark 12+ on your score card and walk to the next hole. Scoring: All strokes must be counted; a WHIFF is a stroke. ALL 3 HOLERS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT SCORER.

6 COURSE ETIQUETTE Etiquette: This differs from the rules of golf, as ETIQUETTE defines certain standards of behavior that make the game of golf more pleasant for everyone. Proper Attire: The club s dress code requires that all golfers wear a tucked-in Jr. Golf Shirt, with slacks, or shorts within 6 of the knee, and golf or tennis shoes. METAL SPIKES ARE PROHIBITED. Safety: Prior to playing a stoke or making practice swing, the player should ensure that no one is standing close by or in a position to be hit by the club, the ball or any stones, pebbles, twigs or the like, which may be moved by the stroke or swing. Respect the Course: 1. Repair all divots tee boxes and fairways. 2. Repair ball marks on greens. 3. Rake and smooth sand bunkers before leaving. 4. Avoid damage to tees and course in taking practice swings. 5. Use assigned teeing areas. 6. PROTECT GREENS: do not drop bag, wheel carts, drag feet or throw down flag stick. 7. Remove ball from hole with your hand, not your putter head. 8. On greens, mark ball with small round object. 9. No honors on tee first one ready (except in competition). 10. Watch each other s balls to avoid lost balls. 11. When you have finished a hole, move off the green to count strokes. 12. Do not talk or move about when a player is playing a shot. 13. Do NOT play your shot on tee or fairway until those ahead of you are out of range. 14. If you lose a ball, do not hold up the course. You have five minutes to look. 15. Scoring parents please keep carts away from green and avoid soft spots; keepcarts on paths and 40 feet away from greens. 16. Keep up with the group ahead of you; be concerned about SLOW PLAY. 17. Be courteous, a good sport, and keep emotions in control.

7 **PRACTICE GAMES TO PLAY** On the Range: Pick a spot (a tree, a patch of brown grass, etc.) and try to make each shot you hit LAND on that area or have each shot END UP at that spot (Use this game for chipping practice as well). Play this with a friend and rotate who picks the spot. Keep track of who comes closest each time. On The Putting Green: 21 Play this with one or more friends. Choose a hole to putt to. The person who putts closest to the hole gets 1 point. If you sink a putt, it s worth 3 points. If you sink a putt RIGHT AFTER someone, you get 6 points. The person who wins the hole picks the next hole to putt to. Play until someone scores 21 points. 21 Putt one ball. Only after you make the first putt are you entitled to play a short putt (from one club length) for a bonus point. Continue play until you miss a long putt (you can take bonus putts as long as you continue making the long putt). When you miss the long one, your opponent takes a turn. First one to 21 wins. 9 Hole match play Play hole by hole with another friend. Whoever has the fewest putts to each hole, wins the hole. The person who wins the most holes wins the game. (Putts to 9 different holes) Putter Lengths Play just like 9 Hole match play EXCEPT if you don t sink a putt, you must move it back away from the hole the length of your putter. EACH TIME you miss sinking the ball in the hole, you move it back (measuring from where the ball ends up, not from the hole) until you sink it. (The pros on the tour play this game) ****Begin all putting games from a distance of 10 or 15 feet depening on space available. On the Course: Scramble All members of a team play from the tee. The best positioned ball of the group is selected and all play their next shot from this point. Continue this same play format until the ball is holed out or in the target area. Special rules can be added, i.e., must use everyone s drive 1, 2, 3 or 4 times depending on number of holes played or the person who holed the last putt may not putt the next hole. Alternate Shot Two members of a team drive from the tee. They select the best positioned ball, then alternate play on this ball only, until it is holed-out, or in the target area. Best Ball All members of the team play their respective balls from the tee to the hole or target area, each player scoring individually. The best ball score for the hole would then count for the team.
