GENERAL GUIDELINES

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MEMBERSHIP

It is the responsibility of each member to know the rules and procedures of the Club. The Golf House staff is ready to assist you should there be any questions.

THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME

Golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the rules of golf. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times.

LADIES & GIRLS GOLF DRESS CODE

Acceptable: Sleeved or sleeveless collared or performance crew neck shirts, collared racerback or tapered back tops (must have collars and undergarments that do not show), hooded apparel (see Hooded Apparel Policy). Pants, pull-on pants with back pockets, skirts, skorts, shorts, and dresses must reach a minimum of mid-thigh in length.

Unacceptable: Non-hemmed shirts of any type, shirts that expose the midriff, athletic attire, hooded apparel that does not conform to the Club's Hooded Apparel Policy, opentoed shoes, golf sandals.

It is strongly recommended that golf shoes be changed in the ladies' locker room, not in the Club parking lot.

HOODED APPAREL POLICY

Hooded apparel is permitted to be worn in certain areas at the Club as indicated in the Dress Code booklet, provided said apparel meets the following standards:

• Conservative and fashionable with or without pockets; complimentary of a country club atmosphere

• Brand, company, or Club logos must be conservative and discreet

• Are not composed of typical and/or industry-standardized sweatshirt material, and/or do not meet the aforementioned standards of 'conservative and fashionable'

• Are not bulky/oversized or contain team logos; numerals; letters; characters; symbols; holes; rips; tears or frays

• Whether an item of clothing is considered acceptable is at the discretion of the management

NO COVER UNDER COVER POLICY

Hats, visors, and hoods shall be removed within the interiors (including porches) of any Club facilities. The only exception would be a member sitting under an umbrella at the pool. When worn outside, hats and visors shall be worn “bill forward” at all times on Club property. Women are permitted to wear hats indoors when appropriate.

ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY

All electronic device usage must be brief, discreet, and respectful and not impede the enjoyment of the Club by other members.

Electronic devices are defined as cell phones, smart phones, tablets, earbuds, watches, laptops and similar devices.

• Phone calls or video conferences of any kind are prohibited on Club property except in private meeting rooms, locker rooms (excluding video conferences), restrooms, and inside personal vehicles

• Electronic devices, while discouraged, may be used for non-verbal activity (includes texting) throughout the Club, golf courses, and Practice Facilities on silent or vibrate mode only

• Laptop use is only permitted in the Board Room, the Magnolia Room, and the Tilly Room at Five Farms or the Maryland Room at Roland Park if the rooms are unoccupied and is not required to be brief. Tablet use is only permitted inside the Pool Complex, the Board Room, Magnolia Room, and Tilly Room at Five Farms and the Maryland Room at Roland Park if the rooms are unoccupied and is not required to be brief

• When devices are not in use, they must be kept out of view

• No pictures or videos of any kind are permitted to be taken in any restroom, changing area or locker room at any time. Photos or videos in the Fitness Center for use as part of a routine or work out are permitted only when the individual(s) being filmed or photographed have provided their permission. Any violation of this portion of the Electronic Device Policy will result in a formal disciplinary action, including the possibility of suspension or expulsion from membership

It is the member’s responsibility to monitor and regulate their guest’s and child/children’s electronic device usage in accordance with this policy. For your convenience, courtesy phones are located throughout the Club on both campuses and the Pool Complex.

A member or guest in violation of the Electronic Device Policy will be asked to comply immediately. A violation of the Electronic Device Policy above may result in a meeting with the Traditions Committee and could result in a suspension or a fine of up to $500.

GOLF MUSIC POLICY

We want to offer a peaceful and relaxing environment for our members and guests to practice and play golf. The open and projected playing of music through speakers on the golf courses can be disruptive to others who are trying to focus on their game. Members and guests are permitted to listen to music individually through earbuds if desired.

Consequently, we reiterate that music speakers of any kind, including cell phone speakers, are not permitted on either golf course or at any of the Practice Facilities.

Lack of adherence to any golf policy may result in a meeting with the Golf Committee and could ultimately result in a suspension or fine.

USGA/R&A RULES OF GOLF

Baltimore Country Club is proud to be an Associate Member of the United States Golf Association since 1898. The USGA/R&A Rules of Golf apply at all times unless the Golf Committee posts a local rule. Only under extreme conditions will “preferred lies” be allowed. It is each member’s responsibility to become familiar with the USGA Rules of Golf.

LIGHTNING POLICY

It is widely known that golf courses are very susceptible to lightning strikes. When thunderstorms are approaching, the automated lightning detection system will sound an alarm, alerting golfers to seek shelter immediately. The staff will try to give walkers advance warning of storms in the area and offer to shuttle them back to the Golf House. Please do your part and take the warnings seriously! As soon as you hear the siren, the Club requires that you evacuate the courses immediately. The three-tone indicates “All Clear” and you may resume your round.

PROTECTION OF GOLF COURSES

Baltimore Country Club enjoys a fine reputation for the condition of both our East and West Courses. Certain course maintenance practices are the responsibility of each member and include the following:

• Fairway, rough, and teeing ground divots: Replace the divot when possible. Use sand/ seed mix when divot is not replaceable

• Repair ball mark damage to the green

• Rake bunkers and leave the rake outside the bunker parallel to the fairway

• Take relief from staked trees and shrubs

• Golf cars should follow GPS prompting

• Push carts must be at least 10 yards away from tees, greens, and bunkers

• Please observe signs and cart direction rails

• Avoid damaging the course when taking practice swings

• Five Farms is a non-metal spikes facility; BCC does not allow metal spikes at any time

PACE OF PLAY

All groups playing at Baltimore Country Club are expected to meet our 18-hole Pace of Play standards:

• For a foursome: 4 hours or less

• For a twosome: 3 hours, 15 minutes or less

The following Pace of Play recommendations are provided to help everyone meet these standards:

1st Tee Practices

• Meet your group at the tee five minutes before your tee time and encourage them to help you maintain the proper pace of play

• Do not commence your round until the group in front approaches the first green

• Mulligans are not encouraged

Be aware of where you are at all times relative to the group in front of you. In a four-hour round, you should achieve the following checkpoints on time:

EAST COURSE

4th tee clock station

7th tee clock station

13th tee clock station

16th tee clock station

WEST COURSE

3rd tee clock station

6th tee clock station

13th tee clock station

16th tee clock station

The clock at each station represents your starting time. For example, if your group has an 8:00am starting time, when you reach each station, the clock should read 8:00am or earlier. If the clock reads later than your starting time, please make every effort to catch up and reach the next clock station on time. The goal is to increase awareness of your pace at key points along the course to help groups maintain an acceptable pace of play.

Best Practices to help with Pace of Play:

• A tee time is the time a group should be hitting the opening drives and not the time to arrive at the tee

• The USGA/R&A Rules and Baltimore Country Club strongly encourage a prompt pace of play and to employ “ready golf” for all games

• Keep up and in position with the group ahead on the course

• The USGA/R&A Rules allow three minutes to search for a lost ball

• Prepare to play your shot while others are playing their shots

• Play it forward! Play the appropriate tees and enjoy your round

• Invite faster groups to play through

• The USGA/R&A Rules permit putting with the flagstick in the hole to speed play

• Use the pace of play clocks provided at the designated areas to measure your pace, (clocks should read your tee time or earlier)

• Repair all ball marks and prepare to putt (read the putt, clean your golf ball, etc.) while others are putting

• Move quickly to the next tee and do not mark your scorecard on the putting green

If a group plays at a slower pace than the standards mentioned above, the Golf Committee has directed the Golf Professional Staff to enforce the following:

1st Warning: Ask that the group improves pace and to put themselves back into position on the course.

2nd Warning: If the pace has not improved, the staff has authority to move the group into the proper position. This may include skipping a hole.

1st Violation: If the group fails to complete the 18-hole round in four hours, an e-mail will be sent reminding the members of the policy and the next violation, the members will be restricted from making tee times until after 3:00pm.

2nd Violation: The group of players will be restricted to making a tee time the following week only after 3:00pm.

GUEST PLAY

Baltimore Country Club and its golf courses are for the use of our members and invited and hosted guests of members. A golf member may have THREE guests at ONE time and no guest may play more than twice per month. It is the member’s responsibility to determine if their guest has already been a guest in the current month. The twice per month rule does apply to any guest tournaments or events on the tournament schedule. All guests, including immediate family members who are non-golf members, must play in the company of a golf member and register as a guest at the Golf House/Tee Manager Station before beginning play—guest fees apply. Please refer to the general schedule and the tournament schedule when arranging to play with guests. Guests may play during the “Open Play” times on the general schedule. Please refer to the tournament schedule for guest play availability. Guest fees are posted annually in the Club’s Membership Fees booklet.

Exception: A member wishing to host between 4-11 guests must have prior approval from Director of Golf Nick Cannon.

GOLF HOUSE SERVICES

The Golf House is the center of our golf activities. Each golf member, whether playing or using the Practice Facilities, must register in the Golf House.

Services include the following:

• A bag tag attached to your bag with your name

• Personal identification on your club shafts

• The Golf Staff will bring your bag to you from the bag storage area

• Your clubs will be cleaned after every use

Please note that Club rules prohibit storage of bags and/or clubs in the locker rooms. Contents of stored golf bags, including but not limited to clubs, shoes, gloves, balls, and rain gear are the responsibility of the member. The Club holds no liability for contents of stored golf bags.

Please refrain from leaving food in your golf bag as it can attract mice and other pests, leading to potential infestations. Keeping food and other perishable items out of your golf bag is essential to prevent attracting rodents and maintain the cleanliness of your golf equipment.

HANDICAP SERVICES

All rounds played between March 15 to November 30 are included in the computation of handicaps. Handicaps are updated daily. New participants in this service must have three (3) 18-hole scores which can be a combination of 9-hole scores, posted before an official handicap index can be provided. An official handicap index is required in order to participate in Club tournaments.

All scores posted for handicaps are to be adjusted according to the World Handicap System. This system sets a maximum score that can be posted on any hole. The maximum score is net double bogey is equal to par of the hole plus two strokes plus any handicap strokes the player receives on that hole. There is no limit to the number of holes in a round where a net double bogey adjustment can be applied. If you do not finish a hole, please record the score that you most likely would have had with the maximum not exceeding net double bogey.

WHEN TO POST A SCORE

As a general rule, you should post all scores no matter where you play. There are conditions that must be met in order to be acceptable. Listed are rules to follow in specific cases:

• Post a score if you play 9 or 18-holes

• For a score to be acceptable, at least 9 holes must be played. If between 10-17 holes are played, hole-by-hole score entry is required. The GHIN system will calculate your score for any holes not completed

• When you pick up on a hole, record down the score you most likely would have made. If this score is higher than net double bogey (maximum score allowed under the World Handicap System), adjust your score to this maximum

• Scores in both match play and stroke play must be posted for handicap purposes

• Scores should be posted the day the round is played by midnight

Members have the ability to post their scores either at the Club’s handicap terminals or through the GHIN app. For additional information contact the Golf House staff.

More information on score posting can be found at www.usga.org/handicapping.

WHEN NOT TO POST A SCORE

The following guidelines provide the current standards:

• Playing alone and necessary peer review: to further support the key system premise of peer review, scores made while playing alone are not acceptable for handicap purposes

• When fewer than nine holes are played

• When playing on a golf course in an area in which an inactive season established by the authorized golf association is in effect

• When a majority of the holes are not played in accordance with the principles of the Rules of Golf (i.e., anchoring)

• When as a condition of the competition, the maximum number of clubs allowed is less than 14, or types of clubs are limited e.g. in a competition that allows only iron clubs

• When scores are made on a course with no USGA Course or Slope Rating

• When a player carries or uses non-conforming clubs or non-conforming balls

• When playing a format where you do not play your own ball for each shot (Foursome, Alternate Shot, Scramble, etc.)

When these non-postable rounds are played, we ask that you fill your name on the daily clipboard located at the Golf House counter or the Locker Room posting stations.

MONITORING PROCESS

• CAP PATROL, authorized by the Handicap/Golf Committee, will reconcile daily rounds played and scores posted

• Members who have not posted an acceptable score within two days of when the round was played, will receive a an e-mail reminding the member to post their score

• If the member fails to post the acceptable score within five days of that reminder e-mail, a penalty score equal to the the lowest/highest differential of that member's handicap record will be posted to the player's scoring record

• Members may request in writing the removal of the penalty score and posting of the actual score. Modification requests will be reviewed by the Golf Staff and Handicap Chair

• Approved corrections will take place as soon as possible

• If noncompliance continues, a formal letter will be mailed from the Handicap Chair or Golf Committee

If noncompliance persists, the Handicap Chair or Golf Committee may take several steps to ensure the integrity of the handicap issued for each golf member of BCC. This may include withdrawing the handicap altogether, which would prohibit the golf member from participating in handicapped tournaments and events.

GOLF HOUSE MERCHANDISE

Our goal is to offer you and your guests the latest in golf apparel, equipment, and accessories at competitive prices. If you cannot find what you need or want, please let the Golf House staff know and they will make every effort to accommodate you.

LOCKER ROOMS

A limited number of lockers become available on an annual basis and can be arranged through the Club’s administrative office. The additional fee for this service is billed annually. Members are strongly encouraged to safeguard items stored in lockers. All items are the member’s responsibility and in the event of loss, should be covered by most homeowner’s insurance.

GOLF INSTRUCTION

The staff is eager to help you improve your golf game with private lessons, short game lessons, clinics, and professional club fitting. Please visit the BCC website or mobile app to learn more about instructional opportunities throughout the season or to book a lesson or club fitting.

PRACTICE FACILITIES

Our Practice Range offers two ends to hit balls. The Golf Committee requests that extended practice take place at the far end of the Practice Range on the larger teeing area. The front tee closest to the Golf House is intended for pre-round warm-up only.

Other practice areas include a chipping green, two practice putting greens (putting only), a practice bunker, and The Loft (which consists of two golf simulators and an instructional room). The Practice Range hours of operation are as follows:

To honor their great achievement, the member will receive a shadow box commemorating the Hole in One and a $200 credit in the Golf Shop. All Full and Partial Season Golf members will be charged $2 for each hole in one throughout the year. Any surplus of funds at the end of the year will be donated to the Club’s Caddie Program and/or Junior Golf Program.

Members have the opportunity to play 18-holes of golf on Tuesday mornings and receive points for the first nine played on the designated course. Players should check with the staff regarding the availability of holes #1 or #10 at the turn. All scorecards from the first nine holes must be turned in by 1:00pm according to “Points and Weekly Scoring” to qualify for the day’s points. No points are awarded for the second nine holes.

9-HOLE INTERCLUB

9-Hole Interclub is open to active members of the LGA 9-Hole with a current home handicap of 30 or below for 9 holes. Interclub is a great opportunity to play other courses, improve skills, learn the rules of golf, and make new acquaintances, all while representing Baltimore Country Club. Contact the Interclub Committee for uniform information. Sign-up sheets are located in the Ladies’ Locker Room.

The top point earner will represent BCC in the annual Tournament of Champions at the end of the season. Ladies will receive one participation point for every Friday Interclub match attended and it will be added to the LGA 9-Hole points received at the closing luncheon.

GUIDELINES

RESPONSIBILITY OF PLAYERS

Know and adhere to the Rules of Golf, local rules, and all conditions under which a competition is being played. Players must sign up in advance for all tournaments. Please do not enter a tournament if you cannot finish play.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

All play dates and tournaments will be played unless the course is declared unplayable. If any players tee off (using carts or walking) by 10:00am, and finish playing 18 holes, the event will be official. Points will be given and scores must be attested. Attendance points will be given at the discretion of the committee. Rain dates will be designated for each individual tournament.

MAJOR TOURNAMENTS

All full and partial season golf members are eligible to enter LGA 18 Hole sponsored tournaments. Non league members will pay a tournament entry fee. Tournament information and registration will be emailed four weeks in advance of each tournament.

TOURNAMENT RAIN DATE SCHEDULE SPRING HANDICAP

In the event that play is cancelled, the rain date will take place the following week. In the event that the rain date is canceled, the Golf House will determine the next available date. Any player not able to comply will need to forfeit.

PRESIDENT’S CUP

Ladies may play from the IV, IV/V Combo, or V Tees on both the East and West Course. Competitors are encouraged to email their opponents immediately to maximize available dates within each play window. The Higher Seed, such as the (16) seed in a (1) vs. (16) match, is responsible for selecting the course, making the reservation, and arranging the scorecard for the game. Scorecard arrangements, including tee preference, must be coordinated with Madie Vonnegut (mvonnegut@bcc1898.com) at least 48 hours before each match. At the conclusion of each match, the winner and match result, such as “1 UP” or “3 & 2,” must be clearly printed at the top of the scorecard and returned to Golf House immediately following play. Any matches not completed by the stipulated deadline will be decided by the LGA Committee. Handicaps will be determined using 90% of each participant’s playing handicap on the date of play, with scorecards stroked off the lowest handicap in the group.

EAST-WEST

In the event the first round of play is cancelled, the rain date will be the second round of play. The second round will be played on the next stroke play date. If the second round is cancelled on the rain date, tee times can be arranged with the Golf House for that Friday. Any player not able to comply will need to forfeit.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

Players qualify for the Club Championship Tournament by playing in the Medalist Round. The one exception is the defending champion who may choose not to play in the Medalist Round and will take the first seed in the Championship flight. If she chooses to play in the Medalist round, she will be flighted according to her gross score.

The Championship flight will be seeded based on gross scores from the Medalist round, and will contain eight seeds. A player does not have to participate in the Medalist round to participate in the Championship. If there are additional players wishing to participate in the Championship Flight, and space allows, they will be seeded by handicap index after Medalist participants are seeded based on their gross scores. Please see the Golf Genius portal page for additional information.

SEASON POINT SCORING

Completed scorecards must be turned in to the Golf Professional who will then post your scores to GHIN. In case of ties, each player will receive points.

• Points will be awarded based on play day format

• In the event of inclement weather, attendance points will be given at the discretion of the committee

• Those playing from IV/V combo tees or the V tees on either course will not be eligible for low gross points but will receive points for low net. To be eligible for gross points, you must play from the IV tees on either course

• Members who have accumulated 10 or more points are awarded in Golf House credit at the end of the golf season

• Participants in these major tournaments receive the following points for each tournament scores must be posted to receive points. Withdrawals and no cards will be ineligible.
