GeneralInformation
POSTING SCORES
In accordance with the “USGA Rules of Golf,” members of MGCC are required to post all scores on the same day the round is played. This includes all rounds, those played in the 18-Hole League or during casual play. Jesse Hackett, Head Golf Professional, will be posting all 18-Hole Ladies’ Golf League scores.
There are five 18-Hole League tournaments that are scored and posted as “competition” rounds:
Spring Tournament | Member/Member | President’s Cup | Fall Tournament | Senior Tournament
If incorrect score postings and/or handicaps are suspected, please make your concern known to the MGCC Handicap Committee for review.
This is not something that can be handled by the league.
PICKING UP
A player may “pick up ” on any hole during the round. The scorecard should be marked with the MAXIMUM STROKES (double bogey plus strokes) allowed and the player should write “PU” on the scorecard. If a player picks up on a hole associated with the weekly sweeps, the player is disqualified from that week’s sweeps contest. For example, if the sweeps are “Odd Holes Net,” the player who picks up on an even hole will not be disqualified from participating in the sweeps. The player may still post ringers and must still post their score using maximum strokes. A player who picks up during play is disqualified from earning gross or net points. A player who picks up and has played at least 15 holes will be awarded an attendance point.
Please note: League members formally voted and approved to avail themselves a drop area on Hole 16 during League play. The drop area is the same drop area marked for Junior players. It is MGCC’s practice not to mark a drop area for members on this hole.
