• Breaking Ties - The BlueGolf program is set up to use the USGA Rules - Appendix I #11 (c)  How to Decide Ties  (Page 125): 
  An acceptable method of matching the cards is to determine the winner on the basis of the best score for the last nine holes. If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, determine the winner on the basis of the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 18th hole. If this method is used in a competition with a multiple tee start, it is recommended that the “last nine holes, last six holes, etc.” is considered to be holes 10-18, 13-18, etc. (click here) http://www.usga.org/playing/rules/pdf/2008ROG.pdf

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• If you are unable to play in an event that you are signed up for, please call both 387-1676 and the golf course to cancel your tee time.  If we end up paying for you, it is only fair that you pay.
   

• Golfers with the lowest seasonal averages will be invited to participate in the Stanton Cup Matches.  The competition is between our organization and the Profiles Seniors.  Hold the date of Wednesday, July2nd, 2008 if you think you might be eligible and would like to play.
   
• Posting scores from our events...  Please post these as regular scores, not as tournament scores.  Most courses shorten the yardage by moving the tees markers up and also select more friendly pin placements (subject to debate).  This is done to speed-up play thus keeping scores lower.  The higher the scores are, the slower the play.  It is not fair to require members to post scores which might artificially lower their handicaps.
   
• Members who wish to be eligible to win Net Prizes, must have a current USGA Index.
   
• NHSGA Board approved the use of distance measuring devices for our events (laser or GPS).
   
• In the event of a cancellation, we void all checks for that tournament and make sure that they are properly destroyed. 
   
• TEE TIMES - for each event, we run both the 1st Tee and the 10th Tee and do both AM and PM starting times.  The AM times usually run from @ 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM and the PM times usually do not begin until @ Noon and run until @ 1:45 PM.  Please keep this in mind when requesting tee times.
