Rules of Play
Matches will be played from the silver tees.
Any player over 60 may play the gold tees if declared at the beginning of the season, except on the par 3s; they must play the silver tees.
USGA rules will govern all play except for the following.
- You may move your ball a grip length anywhere on the course. However, you cannot change your lie surface. (If you are in the rough, it must stay in the rough; if you are in a bunker, it must stay in the bunker, and so on for each different lie surface).
All lost balls, out of bounds, and hazards will be played as stroke and distance. The distance and drop location of the ball will be determined and agreed on by both you and your opponent. All balls in bunkers will stay in the bunker, but you will be allowed to fix the lie in the bunker before hitting the shot. (You may rake the spot, then return the ball for the shot)
Only your opponent can give you a putt. No birdie putts shall be given due to the skins game.
