Wearing “Pink” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

These are members that read the newsletters/announcements and wore pink. Kent played

with pink golf balls, so he’s in the “pink” group. Quick thinking Kent, that’s why you’re

our “Rules Chairperson”.

and then there are those that don’t read the newsletters/announcements or just totally

“forgot”. Guys, you are forgiven.

SWD Club Rules for 2017

The Sacramento Weekend Drivers Golf Club adheres to the USGA Rules of Golf. We do, however, provide some additional rules and guidelines that are intended to speed up tournament play, provide clarification for how we determine handicap flights, and specific tournament rules. We have modified our rules from last year regarding penalty for “Slow Play”. Please take a minute to review the following list of club rules (in addition to the USGA rules) that will be in effect this year. 1. When the first group in the tournament completes their round, they will set up a clock at the scorer’s table. Time on the clock will be set at 20 minutes.

• The second group must finish and check in with the scorer’s table before time on the

clock reaches zero. The clock will be reset to 20 minutes for the next group. (Time

may be taken after “checking in” for players to review their scorecards for accuracy

and signature prior to then submitting them “off the clock.”)

• Penalties will apply for late play – note the following:

• Check in with the scorer’s table in 20 minutes or less and there is no penalty.

• If your group is more than 20 minutes behind, but less than 30 minutes (within 10

minutes), two (2) strokes will be added to the gross score of each member of the

foursome.

• If your group is more than 30 minutes behind (after 10 minutes), five (5) strokes will

be added to the gross score of each member of the foursome.

• An additional 5-minute allowance will be added to the clock if the succeeding team

has more players than the preceding team.

• While this process is not desirable, it is more liberal than the NCGA’s guidelines, and

is an attempt to make our tournaments timelier and thereby more enjoyable for

all our members

2. Disqualification when scorecard is unsigned. Two signatures required.

3. The tournament chairman will determine summer or winter rules on the day of the

tournament. If not specified, the rules in effect at the golf course will be used. Summer

rules are play the ball as you find it and winter rules usually allow the ball to be “bumped”

to within 6 inches of its original spot.

4. Take a maximum of two putts on temporary greens.

5. All putts must be holed out. No “Gimmes”

6. Out-of-Bound Option – If your shot goes out of bound, you have the option to take a 2

strokes penalty and drop at the point of entry no closer to the hole. However, you must

decide before you hit your next shot unless it is a provisional.

7. Water hazard holes should be played from designated tees.

i) If your tee shot lands in the water, you may drop on the other side - 1 stroke penalty.

ii) If two consecutive shots land in the water, you must drop on the other side, total

penalty -2 strokes.

iii) You may also hit from the opposite shore and take a 2-stroke penalty.

If you choose any one of the 3 options above, you must also circle the strokes on that

hole to indicate this option has been invoked and you will be disqualified from winning

any prizes for that tournament.

8. The Men's "A" and "B" flights will be split evenly among the participants in each

tournament based upon current index. If the total participants result in an odd number,

the “A” flight will have an extra competitor. Since your flight may change from one

tournament to the next, it is YOUR responsibility to determine your flight prior to teeing

off on the first hole. This is important as the tee boxes may be different for each flight,

and hitting from the wrong tee box constitutes a penalty.

9. During the Club Championship, once you are placed in a flight, you will remain in that

flight for the duration of the club championship.

10. For all members without handicaps, until you receive your official NCGA handicap you

may compete for prizes, but you will be assigned a ZERO handicap.

11. Prize distribution for each flight and closest to the pin prizes will be points. The prize

payouts are below:

Prizes are now given to”1st through 5th” places.

Flight Winners Closest to Pin

1st Place 25 Points 5 Points

2nd Place 15 Points 3 Points

3rd Place 10 Points 2 Points

4th Place 5 Points

5th Place 3 Points

Payouts for skins and money hole will be paid in cash

Your Scores Count! Keeping accurate scores is an easy thing to do. Besides being easy, it helps to ensure fair

competition. We all need to remember to post our practice round scores so that our course

handicap fairly compares to another golfer's handicap during competitive rounds. If you

forget to post your score at the golf course you can go to the NCGA website and post your

score online at NCGA.org.

The Tournament Committee has the responsibility and authorization to ensure fair

competitions. Please help to ensure fair competition by posting accurate scores of all your

practice rounds.

Tournament Sign-ups, Cancellations, and Fines

As an introduction to our new members (and a reminder to our returning members), here are

some guidelines and information regarding signing up for a club tournament, cancellations, and

the dreaded fines.

In order to participate in a club tournament, you must sign-up with our tournament chairperson

(TC). This is because we are provided a limited number of openings by the course. Members

signing up after the field is full will be placed on a waiting list. The general rule is that you must

sign-up with the TC no later than two weeks prior to the event. The sign-up number is listed with

the tournament announcement. We recommend signing-up earlier to ensure that you will not be

on a waiting list.

Cancellations are a fact of life. Things happen and even though you have signed-up, you find

you cannot make the tournament. PLEASE contact the TC and let them know as soon as

possible. This gives the TC time to notify the people on the waiting list. The last date to cancel

and avoid a possible fine is two weeks prior to the tournament.

Published in each newsletter with the announcement of the next tournament is a signup/cancellation

deadline. Members canceling after that date or not showing up at the

tournament will be notified of a fine by a written letter from the club. The fine structure is $5.00

for individual medal play tournaments and $10.00 for team event tournaments. The cost of the

green fees will also be assessed if the club is charged for the fees by the course and we are

unable to find a substitute for you. So, if you have signed up for a tournament and discover you can't

play after the cancellation date has passed, contact the TC immediately. He may be able to find a

substitute for you and help you minimize your costs.
