Ladies Club Standing Rules 2011
LAKELAND VILLAGE LADIES GOLF CLUB
STANDING RULES/INFORMATION
Revision February, 2011
1. Weekly competition will begin the first Tuesday in March and end the last Tuesday in October. Competition will be 18 holes, or at the discretion of tournament Chairman, 9 holes. Four divisions will be set with the fourth division for those with a handicap of 40 or more. Divisions may be modified based upon the actual number of members playing on a given Tuesday.
2. All play will be to USGA Rules and established handicaps for individual tournaments except as noted in the membership book. Refer to Article IV, Section 1 of the By-Laws.
3. When a player has posted fewer than 20 scores, her USGA Handicap Index is based on a lower percentage of scores than the 50 percent ideally used (best 10 of 20). The accuracy and reliability of the Handicap system improves as the number of posted scores approaches 20. A player with 20 posted scores will have a handicap more representative of her potential ability than a player who has returned fewer scores.
4. The established annual dues will include a designated amount for WSGA membership. The dues year is January 1, through December 31, of each year. Members failing to pay dues before December 31st
5. Members are responsible for recording all 18 holes scores and turning in score cards. Anyone playing 13 holes must also turn in her score card for posting. An adjusted score (par plus any handicap strokes that the player is entitled to receive on the unplayed holes) is used on those holes not played (Rule 5-2b, USGA Handicap System). This is not to be confused with equitable stroke play, which is an adjusted score for maximum strokes allowed on a hole. Players not reporting all scores may be in jeopardy of having their handicaps adjusted up or down by the Handicap Chairperson. Tournament scores will be posted with a "T".
6. Field Day is for all members and is a fun day with the club treasury partially paying for play, gifts/prizes, and lunch.
