GUIDELINES

Weekly Play

All LGA 9-Hole play is to be from the West Course IV tees and the East Course V tees for 2023. Registration is available online or through the Golf House. You may sign up to play each week, or as your schedule permits. If you choose not to play on the course assigned to the LGA 9-Hole group, you may arrange your own tee time on the available course.

Inclement Weather

The event will be official, provided the course is declared open to carts, 30% of participants have teed-off by 10:30am, and participants finish nine holes.

Points And Weekly Scoring

Participation in the LGA 9-Hole gives members the opportunity to earn points throughout the season. At the conclusion of the season, members with ten or more points will have points converted to Golf Shop credit.

Immediately following weekly play players must:

1. Record their ringer scores into the ringer binder located in the Golf House

2. Turn the scorecards into the Golf Professional

The Golf Professional collects all scorecards and score sheets to tabulate the week’s results and award points to players in all groups based on the following:

Low Gross 5 points

Low Net 5 points

2nd Low Net 4 points

3rd Low Net 3 points

Low Putts 1 point

Super Seniors: Members ages 75+, whose handicap places them in the C Group, may play regular weekly stroke play on the designated course from the V tees. Those playing from the V tees on the West are eligible for net points only.

To be eligible, players must have an established USGA handicap and must hole out.

• In the event of a tie, each player receives points

• Ladies without a handicap will receive one point for attendance

• Any player who “picks up” will receive one point for attendance

• Players on the non-designated course will receive one point for attendance

First Tuesdays

To promote camaraderie and provide an opportunity to be together as a group, the first Tuesday of each month is set aside for a shotgun start with groupings and golf format organized by the Golf House. Lunch follows play.

Tournaments

Major tournaments are open to all Season Golf members with established and current USGA handicaps. Players must register in advance for all tournaments. Please do not register to play in the tournaments if you cannot play all the days of the event. Season
