Posting Scores:
It is important that members post all of their scores in a timely
manner (not to exceed 3 calendar days). Anyone who fails to do
so, may not be eligible for net prizes at the next event and will
receive a letter warning them that if this happens a second time,
they may be declared ineligible for net prizes for the rest of the
season.
-
Scores
from out events should be posted as an
"Away"
score, and not
as a "Tournament Score".
Please post using the correct course rating and slope for the tees
you played in the event.
-
Adjusting scores before posting them:
All scores being posted need
to be adjusted using what is called ESC (Equitable Stroke Control).
This means that if your course handicap falls within a certain
range, you are capped at to the maximum number of strokes that you
can take on any given hole. This chart below comes directly
from the USGA. Please adjust all scores you post, no matter
where you play.
| Course Handicap |
Maximum Number |
| 9 or less |
Double Bogey |
| 10-19 |
7 |
| 20-29 |
8 |
| 30-39 |
9 |
| 40 and above |

TEE TIMES - for
each event, we normally 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 with the later tee times beginning @ 11:30 AM -
until @ 1:30 PM. Please keep this in mind when requesting tee
times.
-
Cancellation fees: The association pays BlueGolf a
"transaction fee" for every person who registers and/or cancels
from one of our events. In addition, we also pay a finance
charge of @ 3% for the use of credit cards whether processing
either registration fees or refunds. Cancellations do come at
a cost to the association and it is only fair that anyone who signs
up for an event and then cancels, share in that cost. All
cancellations will be assessed a $10 fee, regardless of the number.
If anyone is a "no show" at an event and we are required to pay the
course, there will be no refund.
The policy is subject to appeal by anyone with extenuating circumstance. Such an appeal
must be sent in
writing (or email) to
Chuck Mitchell.

Those on
the waiting list
become eligible for play
on the Friday preceding an event if there are still openings.

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.
