BOARD OF GOVERNERS’ CUP TOURNAMENT

SPRING MEMBER-MEMBER TOURNAMENT

DATES: Saturday August 22, 2015

RULES - First Day

RAIN DATE: Sunday, August 23, 2015

On the first day of this tournament, each team will be playing two separate 9-hole formats using 90% of the team’s average handicap.

CUT-OFF DATE: Wednesday, August 19, 2015 (5:00 p.m.)

SIGN-UP LOCATION: Online – http://www.alpinecountryclubri.com

Front 9 - Chapman Format.

Each member of the team will hit a drive on each hole.

MAXIMUM # OF PLAYERS: 60 teams

For the second shot, you will hit each other’s drive.

ENTRY FEE: $35 per person

The team then selects what ball it wants to play for the balance of the hole.

ELIGIBILITY: See Eligibility on page 3

You then alternate shots until the ball is holed.

FORMAT: Individual Stroke Play

You cannot change balls. You must hit the ball being played- even on the green.

HANDICAP: 80% FOOD: Full Breakfast—7:00 a.m.

Example: A and B both hit drives on hole #1. For their second shots, A hits B’s drive and B hits A’s drive. For their third shot, the team selects which ball it wants to play. If they select the ball last hit by B, then A hits the team’s third shot, B then hits the fourth shot, and so on until the ball is holed.

PRIZES: Pro Shop credits

Reminder: This format applies on par 3s also.

BOARD TOURNAMENT: Yes

Back 9 - Scramble Format.

STARTING TIME: 8:30 a.m. (Shotgun start)

Each team member hits a drive.

RULES

You then select the “best” shot and each team member hits from that spot.

This is a medal play tournament using 80% handicap.

All USGA rules apply. Local rules - e.g. stones in bunker and range finders - are applicable.

All putts must be holed - there are absolutely no “gimmees.”

At the end of the round, scorecards must be appropriately signed and attested to.

Scorecards should contain your gross score. Pro Shop will calculate your net score. The gross score will be utilized for Ryder Cup points.

The low net score shall determine the winner.

Ties will be broken by sudden death playoff commencing on the first hole.

This process continues until the ball is holed.

In the Scramble Format, you may place the ball within one club length of the ball you select (except on the green). In doing so, you may not go nearer the hole and you must stay in the same cut of grass. For example, you cannot move your ball from the second cut of rough into the first cut even if it is within one club length.

The reverse is also true. That is, you cannot place the ball from the fairway into the first cut of rough.

Reminder: The formats are governed by what 9 you are playing. In other words, if you are on the back 9, your team will play the Scramble Format and when on the front 9, the Chapman Format.

At the end of the round, submit your scorecard showing your team’s gross score.

Then deduct the team handicap for your team’s net score.

Pro Shop Staff will post scores to handicap computer.

MEMBER-GUEST 4-BALL TOURNAMENT

SPRING MEMBER-MEMBER TOURNAMENT RULES - Second Day

RULES

On the second day of this tournament, each team will play two separate 9-hole formats with each individual using their 90% tournament handicap.

Divisions consisting of eight teams.

Front 9 - Best Ball Format.

For each hole, record each team member’s individual score the team’s best net score (considering your tournament handicap).

For example, if both A and B record a 6 on the fourth hole and B strokes on that holebased on his tournament handicap-then the scorecard should show a “6” for both A and B, but the team’s score for hole #4 is a “5” which should also be recorded on the card.

Back 9 - Aggregate Format With each team member keeping his score until the ball is holed. No one is ever out of the hole. That is, each team member must play his own ball until it is holed. The team’s total score for the Aggregate Format is the total number of strokes for each member of the team less the strokes each member is entitled to utilizing the players’ tournament handicaps.

Reminder: The formats are governed by what 9 you are playing. In other words, if you are on the back 9, your team will play the Aggregate Format and when you on the front 9, the Best Ball Format.

1 The Tournament Committee and Handicap Committee have decided that the scores for the second day of the Spring Member-Member will be entered into the computer as a tournament score for handicap purposes. Therefore, each player will be required to turn in a score for the front 9, even though it is a Best Ball Format. To maintain pace of play, if your partner has completed the hole with a score already lower than what you lie, you should record what you reasonably would have scored. (This is consistent with the USGA Equitable Scoring System.) For example, you are on the green in regulation but 20 feet from the hole.

Your partner chips in from off the green for a birdie. If you want, you may attempt your birdie putt or mark a par on your scorecard (the reasonable 2 putt from 20 feet).

10

Best Ball Format, Match Play Teams play seven matches within their division.

Two matches on Thursday Three matches on Friday Two matches on Saturday Division winners play a 5-hole playoff (holes #10, #15, #16, #17 and #18) using Best Ball Format. In the event there is a tie at the end of the 4-hole playoff, then to break the tie, a sudden death playoff will be held using holes #17 and #18 on a rotating basis with Net Aggregate score until a winner is determined.

For the award of tournament prizes and determining division winners, ties will be broken as follows: Ties for first place will be broken by a sudden death playoff commencing on the first hole immediately following the last match. The playoff will be based on an aggregate team score (taking into consideration handicaps).

In the event of a tie for second or third place; in the daily divisional pools or overall divisional pools; the prizes will be divided between the tied teams.

MEMBER-GUEST 4-BALL TOURNAMENT

SPRING MEMBER-MEMBER TOURNAMENT RULES - Second Day

RULES

On the second day of this tournament, each team will play two separate 9-hole formats with each individual using their 90% tournament handicap.

Divisions consisting of eight teams.

Front 9 - Best Ball Format.

For each hole, record each team member’s individual score the team’s best net score (considering your tournament handicap).

For example, if both A and B record a 6 on the fourth hole and B strokes on that holebased on his tournament handicap-then the scorecard should show a “6” for both A and B, but the team’s score for hole #4 is a “5” which should also be recorded on the card.

Back 9 - Aggregate Format With each team member keeping his score until the ball is holed. No one is ever out of the hole. That is, each team member must play his own ball until it is holed. The team’s total score for the Aggregate Format is the total number of strokes for each member of the team less the strokes each member is entitled to utilizing the players’ tournament handicaps.

Reminder: The formats are governed by what 9 you are playing. In other words, if you are on the back 9, your team will play the Aggregate Format and when you on the front 9, the Best Ball Format.

1 The Tournament Committee and Handicap Committee have decided that the scores for the second day of the Spring Member-Member will be entered into the computer as a tournament score for handicap purposes. Therefore, each player will be required to turn in a score for the front 9, even though it is a Best Ball Format. To maintain pace of play, if your partner has completed the hole with a score already lower than what you lie, you should record what you reasonably would have scored. (This is consistent with the USGA Equitable Scoring System.) For example, you are on the green in regulation but 20 feet from the hole.

Your partner chips in from off the green for a birdie. If you want, you may attempt your birdie putt or mark a par on your scorecard (the reasonable 2 putt from 20 feet).

10

Best Ball Format, Match Play Teams play seven matches within their division.

Two matches on Thursday Three matches on Friday Two matches on Saturday Division winners play a 5-hole playoff (holes #10, #15, #16, #17 and #18) using Best Ball Format. In the event there is a tie at the end of the 4-hole playoff, then to break the tie, a sudden death playoff will be held using holes #17 and #18 on a rotating basis with Net Aggregate score until a winner is determined.

For the award of tournament prizes and determining division winners, ties will be broken as follows: Ties for first place will be broken by a sudden death playoff commencing on the first hole immediately following the last match. The playoff will be based on an aggregate team score (taking into consideration handicaps).

In the event of a tie for second or third place; in the daily divisional pools or overall divisional pools; the prizes will be divided between the tied teams.

You then alternate shots until the ball is holed.

FORMAT: Individual Stroke Play

You cannot change balls. You must hit the ball being played- even on the green.

HANDICAP: 80% FOOD: Full Breakfast—7:00 a.m.

Example: A and B both hit drives on hole #1. For their second shots, A hits B’s drive and B hits A’s drive. For their third shot, the team selects which ball it wants to play. If they select the ball last hit by B, then A hits the team’s third shot, B then hits the fourth shot, and so on until the ball is holed.

PRIZES: Pro Shop credits

Reminder: This format applies on par 3s also.

BOARD TOURNAMENT: Yes

Back 9 - Scramble Format.

STARTING TIME: 8:30 a.m. (Shotgun start)

Each team member hits a drive.

RULES

You then select the “best” shot and each team member hits from that spot.

This is a medal play tournament using 80% handicap.

All USGA rules apply. Local rules - e.g. stones in bunker and range finders - are applicable.

All putts must be holed - there are absolutely no “gimmees.”

At the end of the round, scorecards must be appropriately signed and attested to.

Scorecards should contain your gross score. Pro Shop will calculate your net score. The gross score will be utilized for Ryder Cup points.

The low net score shall determine the winner.

Ties will be broken by sudden death playoff commencing on the first hole.

This process continues until the ball is holed.

In the Scramble Format, you may place the ball within one club length of the ball you select (except on the green). In doing so, you may not go nearer the hole and you must stay in the same cut of grass. For example, you cannot move your ball from the second cut of rough into the first cut even if it is within one club length.

The reverse is also true. That is, you cannot place the ball from the fairway into the first cut of rough.

Reminder: The formats are governed by what 9 you are playing. In other words, if you are on the back 9, your team will play the Scramble Format and when on the front 9, the Chapman Format.

At the end of the round, submit your scorecard showing your team’s gross score.

Then deduct the team handicap for your team’s net score.

Pro Shop Staff will post scores to handicap computer.
