ZIA SENIOR MEN'S GOLF CLUB

RULES FOR PLAY – January 2006

1. We want to keep our events to about four hours (less, if possible); therefore the following rules are established:

a. PLAY READY GOLF! When you get to your ball, play it unless someone else is ready to hit.

If possible, cart-mates should park their cart midway between their balls and then each walk to their ball. This will speed the pace of the game. Observe "Honors" only on the green and then only if it does not unduly slow the pace of the game. Case in point: The last player to hit onto the green is also the first to putt; however, he is physically many yards away. DO YOU WAIT FOR HIM? NO! Whoever is ready should begin putting. We are not playing a professional tournament. We want everyone to enjoy our golf. Waiting around is not fun.

b. It is not necessary for everyone to stay on the green while others putt. If you are finished, move on to the next hole.

2. USGA rules apply except as modified by local course rules and/or instructions given before starting play.

3. Treat the course well. We may want to come back again. Rake the bunkers, repair divots and ball marks. Do not drive carts into restricted areas.

4. Play the ball down unless notified otherwise before play.

5. In case of a dispute regarding a played ball, play two balls, keeping both scores. The problem will be resolved after the end of play with the involved parties, the resident pro, and club officials.

6. Scoring will normally be Net Score. Record both Gross and Net scores on the cards. All cards must be signed and attested. All cards must be turned in immediately after finishing the last hole.

7. Order of play. All other participants will play from the “White” or closer men’s tees. Handicaps will be based on the slope at these tee locations.

8. The prize fund will be awarded through host facility gift certificates or through player’s home courses.

All ties will be settled by a scorecard playoff beginning with the number One handicap hole and then progress number the number two, three, four, etc., until the tie is broken. If the tie still remains after eighteen hole score card playoff the prize will be equally divided between the individuals.
