2019 GOLF EVENTS & HANDBOOK


S h a r k ’s To o t h G o l f C l u b


Letter from the Pros It’s our honor to welcome our Members to the 2019 Golf Season at The Clubs by JOE. The Golf Staff has worked tirelessly to introduce a few new events to our already outstanding tournament schedule and we hope you enjoy them. It is our hope that these added events will continue to help us grow and increase participation at the Clubs so that we may have yet another record breaking year. In this book, you will find the 2019 tournament schedule of events and a brief description of what they entail. The Golf Committee is committed to continuing to help build comradery and offer special events that build participation. The 2018 season boasted record breaking events by having full participation in all of our major tournaments. It is our goal to continue this trend and offer the Member golf association a strong schedule of events. We can’t express how fortunate we are to be part of such wonderful places like Camp Creek and Shark’s Tooth Golf Clubs. The quality of our golf courses have never been better thanks to the combined efforts of Josh Parker at Shark’s Tooth Golf Club and Ryan Dykes at Camp Creek Golf Club. Both Josh and Ryan have been working diligently to continue to improve upon the facilities upkeep and quality of play. We truly have a special place here and we hope you find the courses fair, yet challenging, as you spend time with us during the 2019 season.

Sincerely, Golf Professional Staff

Golf Instruction SEAN MCGAUGHEY

Director of Golf, The Clubs by JOE Growing up in the small town of Mt. Shasta, California Sean found a love for the game of golf at a very young age. Following graduation from Chico State University he soon found himself coming back to the game that helped shape who he is today. With over 10 years in the industry, Sean has been fortunate enough to learn from some of the legends of the game such as Larry Nelson, Padraig Harrington, Stewart Cink and Joe Inman. His teaching philosophy focuses on helping students achieve their goals through creating strong core fundamentals based on their personal aspirations. “It’s all about creating smiles! Every student gets there a little bit differently, and it’s my job to coach them through it. Keep it simple and great things will happen.” For Sean, teaching the game is helping grow it, and he looks forward to seeing you on the teaching tee.

MATTHEW HIPPS, PGA

Head Professional, Shark’s Tooth Golf Club With sixteen years in the golf industry and a dozen years of teaching experience, Matt works with each student to design a personal improvement program based on their abilities and aspirations to help them achieve their golfing goals. His message is one of simplicity. “My goal is to understand how each player moves and help them build a swing within that framework. Each players swing is unique. I love helping players find the best version of their own swing.” He enjoys teaching the game of golf and watching the growth of his players, but above all, he believes that first and foremost, the ultimate goal is to have fun learning this wonderful game you can play for a lifetime.

LEE MORAN, PGA

Head Professional, Camp Creek Golf Club Lee Moran began his teaching career at Penn State in the Professional Golf Management Program. After graduating, he moved down to the beach to begin working as an Assistant Golf Professional at Shark’s Tooth Golf Club. Growing up, Lee worked and studied the golf swing always trying to create his very own teaching philosophy. It is through this process that Lee developed his teaching philosophy of growing the game through pure enjoyment. “Fun should be the priority in learning how to play the game no matter what the handicap.” Lee continues this tradition today at Camp Creek Golf Club where he enjoys the challenge of bettering people’s games to reach their full potential.

GOLF EVENTS & HANDBOOK


Handicap Policy To help improve the integrity of our club events, The Clubs by JOE has decided to put together a Tournament Handicap Committee. This Committee will help determine the parameters of our events and eligibility for participants. Posting of scores is mandatory for any Members of The Clubs by JOE who wish to play in club events. The honor and integrity of the game is based on proper etiquette, and we hope to uphold this standard to all events hosted by The Clubs by JOE. Posting of scores is the primary focus going forward, and we encourage all Members to post all scores played at the Club. Members who are not posting scores are subject to handicap modifications or ineligibility into events. Using our operating system (Jonas) allows us to audit each Members’ rounds played. These rounds can then be compared to the GHIN system, giving us the data needed to enforce proper handicap management. The tournament committee has reached out to several prominent Clubs throughout the Southeast to help initiate the following guidelines.

Policy and Rules for Handicap Management 1. Any Member may establish a USGA handicap through The Clubs by JOE. If a Member chooses to opt out of having a USGA handicap, he or she will not be eligible to play in any function were prizes are awarded. The Golf Shop will also not supply or verify a handicap to another golf club or golf event. 2. All guest playing in any sanctioned events must carry an official USGA handicap. If a player does not have a USGA handicap, he or she will be given a 0 handicap for competition. 3. USGA rules apply to all posted rounds-no mulligans on the first tee; no rolling the ball anywhere on the course; no winter rules. Of course, there may be times when course conditions dictate the lift, clean and place rule. This will be implemented on a case-by-case basis by the golf staff. 4. All players will be expected to post their scores year round when they play. All scores can be posted either in the golf shop at designated terminals or by the golf shop staff. If the golf shop is closed we advise you to download the GHIN app on your smart phone or visit GHIN.com for posting. The Handicap Committee will monitor the posting of scores and any flagrant posting violations. Exception: While playing as a single, scores will not be eligible for posting.

5. Failure to post scores will result in the following penalties: •

1st infraction: A score equal to the players lowest differential will be posted.

2nd infraction: A score equal to the player’s lowest differential will be posted as a Tournament “T” score.

3rd infraction: A player will be suspended from competition in The Clubs by JOE ‘s sanctioned tournaments indefinitely, until they have an opportunity to explain to the golf committee why they have not been posting scores. No handicap will be issued to other Clubs during this period.

6. All players will be expected to adjust their scores based on the USGA equitable stroke control rating. The formula is as follows: 18-HOLE HANDICAP

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF STROKES

0–9

Double Bogey

10 – 19

7 Strokes on Any Hole

20 – 29

8 Strokes on Any Hole

30 – 39

9 Strokes on Any Hole

40+ Max

10 Strokes on Any Hole

7. All away scores must be posted in the same manner as all home scores. 8. The golf professional staff will be responsible to posting all tournament scores. 9. There are exceptions – sometimes we go out on the golf course with no intention of trying to keep score – to practice or try out new equipment. Under these circumstances, you may inform the golf shop in advance that you are playing a non-stipulated round for which you do not wish to post a score. A “stipulated round” consists of playing the holes of the course in the correct sequence unless otherwise authorized by the golf shop. The number of holes in a stipulated round is at least 13; holes not completed will be adjusted by equitable stroke control. Being the prominent Clubs in the Panhandle, it is important that we uphold the highest standard when it comes to handicap management. The tournament committee is here to help, and it is our goal to bring respect and integrity to all events hosted by The Clubs by JOE. We appreciate you all helping us on the above stated criteria in reaching these objectives.

Tournament Handicaps: Formal review of handicaps will take place prior to each Club event. Players will not be able to participate in competition without an official established USGA handicap or without proper posting of scores. Players need to post their score after each round they play to establish a proper and correct handicap. We will be checking rounds played by Members and checking to see if a score has been posted to their handicap. The posting of scores has become much easier with the GHIN.com app and posting online. The Golf Professional Staff at both Camp Creek and Shark’s Tooth will be happy to post your score at the conclusion of your rounds. All guest playing in any sanctioned events must carry an official USGA handicap. If a player does not have a USGA handicap, he or she will be given a 0 handicap for competition For further information, please call Camp Creek, 850.231.7601 or Shark’s Tooth, 850.249.3041.

Players Competing from a Different Course Rating or Tees Q. When players are competing from a different USGA Course Rating or tees, why do you make a Course Handicap TM adjustment? What if players are competing from more than two sets of tees? Can a Committee ignore this adjustment?

Players competing from two different tees: Players electing to move forward in all of The Clubs by JOE’s sanctioned events will be subject to rule 3.5 in the USGA handicap manual. In accordance with rule 3.5, players will be given their selected tee handicap and deducted two strokes for tournament play.

GOLF EVENTS & HANDBOOK


2019 UPDATED USGA RULES Ball at Rest

1. Ball moved during search

Under Rule 7.4, if a player accidentally moves his or her ball while searching for it: • •

The player will get no penalty for causing it to move, and The ball will always be replaced; if the exact spot is not known, the player will replace the ball on the estimated original spot (including on, under or against any attached natural or man-made objects which the ball had been at rest under or against).

. 2. No penalty for moving ball on the putting green

Under Rule 13.1d, there will no longer be a penalty if a player (or opponent) accidentally causes the player’s ball to move on the putting green. •

The substance of this Rule change has already been implemented as of 1 January 2017 by authorizing Committees to adopt a Local Rule that eliminates the penalty for accidentally moving a ball on the putting green.

3. Standard for deciding why a ball moved

Under Rule 9.2, the “known or virtually certain” standard (meaning at least 95% likely) will apply to all questions of fact about why a ball at rest moved: •

A player, opponent or outside influence will be found to have caused the ball to move if the player, opponent or outside influence was known or virtually certain to have caused it to move; otherwise it will be assumed that natural forces caused it to move.

4. Replacing the ball when original spot is not known

Under Rule 14.2c, in that same situation: • •

The ball will always be placed on a spot rather than being dropped. If the exact original spot is not known, the player will be required to replace the ball on its estimated spot (including on, under or against any attached natural objects that the ball had been at rest on, under or against).

CAMP CREEK GOLF CLUB | SHARK’S TOOTH GOLF CLUB

28


Ball in Motion

1. Ball in motion accidentally deflected

Under Rule 11.1, for all accidental deflections, including when the ball hits the player or opponent or their equipment or caddies: • •

There will be no penalty and the ball will be played as it lies (with limited exceptions). To address any concern that a player might deliberately position equipment to act as a backstop and potentially deflect his or her ball, there will be a penalty if the ball hits equipment that was positioned for that purpose (Rule 11.2a).

Taking Relief

1. Measuring the size of the relief area where a ball must be

dropped Players will continue to drop a ball when taking relief, but the dropping procedure will be changed in several ways as detailed in Rule 14.3: •

The focus of the dropping procedure will be on a specific “relief area” set by the Rule under which relief is being taken and will be either one or two club-lengths from a reference point (and may have certain other limitations). The relief area is a fixed size for each player and is pre-determined based on the clubs the player has selected for play.

. 2. New procedure for dropping a ball

Players will continue to drop a ball when taking relief, but the dropping procedure will be changed in several ways as detailed in Rule 14.3: •

How a ball may be dropped is simplified; the only requirement will be that the ball be let go from knee height so that it falls through the air and does not touch any part of the player’s body or equipment before it hits the ground.

3. Where a dropped ball must come to rest

Players will continue to drop a ball when taking relief, but the dropping procedure will be changed in several ways as detailed in Rule 14.3: •

29

The ball will need only to be dropped in and come to rest in the relief area; and there will be no re-drop requirement if the dropped ball accidentally hits a person or object after hitting the ground but before coming to rest in the relief area. If the dropped ball comes to rest outside the relief area, it will be dropped a second time; if it comes to rest outside the relief area after being dropped a second time it will be placed where it first touched the ground. If the placed ball will not come to rest on that spot after two attempts, the player will then place the ball on the nearest spot (not nearer the hole) where it will come to rest. GOLF EVENTS & HANDBOOK


4. Fixed distances to be used for measuring

A club-length will be defined as the length of the longest club in the player’s bag, except that this cannot be his or her putter. • •

The relief area for dropping a ball will be a fixed size of either one or two club-lengths depending on which relief Rule is being used. The relief area is a fixed size for each player and is pre-determined based on the clubs the player has selected for play.

5. Time to search before ball is lost

Under Rule 18.2, the time for a ball search (before the ball becomes lost) will be reduced from 5 minutes to 3 minutes.

. 6. Substitution of ball always allowed when taking relief

Under Rule 14.3, when taking relief, the player will always be allowed the choice to substitute a ball or to use the original ball, including: •

When taking penalty relief as well as when taking free relief (Rules 15-19).

7. Relief for an embedded ball

The current default position in the Rules will be reversed: •

• •

Rule 16.3 will allow relief for a ball embedded anywhere in the “general area” (that is, the area currently known as “through the green”), except when embedded in sand. But a Committee may adopt a Local Rule restricting relief to a ball embedded in those parts of the general area cut to fairway height or less. In taking relief, the player will drop the original ball or a substituted ball within one club-length of (but not nearer the hole than) the spot right behind where the ball was embedded.

8. Procedure for taking a lateral relief

Players will continue to drop a ball when taking relief, but the dropping procedure will be changed in several ways as detailed in Rule 14.3: •

The focus of the dropping procedure will be on a specific “relief area” set by the Rule under which relief is being taken and will be either one or two club-lengths from a reference point (and may have certain other limitations). The ball will need only to be dropped in and come to rest in the relief area; and there will be no re-drop requirement if the dropped ball accidentally hits a person or object after hitting the ground but before coming to rest in the relief area. If the dropped ball comes to rest outside the relief area, it will be dropped a second time; if it comes to rest outside the relief area after being dropped a second time it will be placed where it first touched the ground.

CAMP CREEK GOLF CLUB | SHARK’S TOOTH GOLF CLUB

If the placed ball will not come to rest on that spot after two attempts, the player will then place the ball on the nearest spot (not nearer the hole) where it will come to rest.

9. Procedure for taking back-on-the-line relief

Players will continue to drop a ball when taking relief, but the dropping procedure will be changed in several ways as detailed in Rule 14.3: •

The focus of the dropping procedure will be on a specific “relief area” set by the Rule under which relief is being taken and will be either one or two club-lengths from a reference point (and may have certain other limitations). The ball will need only to be dropped in and come to rest in the relief area; and there will be no re-drop requirement if the dropped ball accidentally hits a person or object after hitting the ground but before coming to rest in the relief area. If the dropped ball comes to rest outside the relief area, it will be dropped a second time; if it comes to rest outside the relief area after being dropped a second time it will be placed where it first touched the ground. If the placed ball will not come to rest on that spot after two attempts, the player will then place the ball on the nearest spot (not nearer the hole) where it will come to rest.

Areas of the Course

1. When to replace a ball that moves on the putting green

Rule 13.1d, will revise the procedure for when a ball on the putting green is moved by wind, water or other natural forces, so that it must sometimes be replaced and sometimes be played from its new spot: •

“Damage on the putting green” will be defined to include all types of damage (such as ball-marks, shoe damage, indentations from a club or flagstick, animal damage, etc.), except aeration holes, natural surface imperfections or natural wear of the hole.

. 2. Repairing damage on the putting green

Rule 13.1c(2) allows repair of almost any damage on the green: •

31

How a ball may be dropped is simplified; the only requirement will be that the ball be let go from knee height so that it falls through the air and does not touch any part of the player’s body or equipment before it hits the ground.

GOLF EVENTS & HANDBOOK


3. Touching line of play on a putting green

The prohibition of touching the line of play on the putting green will be eliminated: •

There will no longer be a penalty for merely touching the line of play on the putting green (the term “line of play” will apply everywhere on the course including the putting green, and the term “line of putt” will no longer be used). But the player will still be subject to the prohibition on improving his or her line of play on the putting green (see Rule 8.1a, as limited by 8.1b).

4. Ball played from green hits unattended flagstick in hole

Under Rule 13.2a(2): • •

There will no longer be a penalty if a ball played from the putting green hits a flagstick left in the hole. Players will not be required to putt with the flagstick in the hole; rather, they will continue to have the choice to have it removed (which includes having someone attend the flagstick and remove it after the ball is played).

5. Areas the committee may mark as penalty areas

Under the new Rules, “Water hazards” will be superseded by the expanded concept of “penalty areas”, and Rule 17 will provide the same basic options for relief that exist under the current Rules: •

• •

A penalty area will include both (1) all areas currently defined in the Rules as a water hazard or lateral water hazard and (2) any other areas the Committee chooses to define as penalty areas (with recommended guidelines to be provided in the guidebook). Penalty areas may therefore include areas such as deserts, jungles, lava rock fields, etc. The term “hazard” will no longer be used in the Rules.

. 6. Touching loose impediments or ground in a penalty area

Under Rule 17: •

There will no longer be any special restrictions when a ball is in a “penalty area” (the expanded designation for the area that includes what are now called water hazards). A player will be allowed to touch or move loose impediments and touch the ground with hand or club (such as grounding the club right behind the ball) for any reason, subject only to the prohibition on improving conditions for the stroke (see new Rule 8.1a).

CAMP CREEK GOLF CLUB | SHARK’S TOOTH GOLF CLUB

7. Expanded use of red-marked penalty areas

Under the new Rules, “Water hazards” will be superseded by the expanded concept of “penalty areas”, and Rule 17 will provide the same basic options for relief that exist under the current Rules: •

• •

A penalty area will include both (1) all areas currently defined in the Rules as a water hazard or lateral water hazard and (2) any other areas the Committee chooses to define as penalty areas (with recommended guidelines to be provided in the guidebook). Penalty areas may therefore include areas such as deserts, jungles, lava rock fields, etc. The term “hazard” will no longer be used in the Rules

8. Elimination of opposite side relief for red penalty areas

Rule 17.1d will remove the option to take relief on the opposite side of a red penalty area (the new term that will include what is today called a lateral water hazard): •

This means that, when a ball is in a red penalty area, the player will have three options for relief (all for a one-stroke penalty) rather than four options as today. But a Committee could still adopt a Local Rule allowing opposite side relief on those holes where it believes the other relief options are not viable.

9. Moving or touching loose impediments or touching sand in a

bunker Under Rules 12.2a and 12.2b, the player will be allowed to touch or move loose impediments in a bunker and will be generally allowed to touch the sand with a hand or club; but a limited prohibition continues so that the player must not: •

Deliberately touch the sand in a bunker with a hand, club, rake or other object to test the condition of the sand to learn information for the stroke, or Touch the sand in a bunker with a club in making a practice swing, in grounding the club right in front of or behind the ball, or in making the backswing for a stroke.

. 10. Unplayable ball in a bunker

The player will have an extra option allowing relief outside the bunker using the back-on-the-line procedure, but for a total of two penalty strokes (Rule 19.3b).

33

GOLF EVENTS & HANDBOOK


11. Use of clubs damaged during a round

Under Rule 4.1: •

A player will be allowed to keep using and/or to repair any club damaged during the round, no matter what the damage and even if the player damaged it in anger. A player will not be allowed to replace a damaged club, except when it is damaged during the round by an outside influence or natural forces or by someone other than the player or his or her caddie.

12. Adding clubs to replace a club damaged during a round

Under Rule 4.1: •

A player will be allowed to keep using and/or to repair any club damaged during the round, no matter what the damage and even if the player damaged it in anger. A player will not be allowed to replace a damaged club, except when it is damaged during the round by an outside influence or natural forces or by someone other than the player or his or her caddie.

13. Use of distance-measuring devices

The current default position in the Rules will be reversed: • •

Rule 4.3 will allow players to use DMDs to measure distance. But a Committee may adopt a Local Rule prohibiting such use of DMDs.

Playing the Ball

1. Caddie standing behind a player to help line the player up

Under Rule 10.2b(4): •

The current prohibition will be extended so that, once the player begins taking a stance for the stroke, and until the stroke is made, the player’s caddie must not deliberately stand on or close to an extension of the line of play behind the ball for any reason. There will be no penalty if the caddie accidentally stands on or close to an extension of the line of play behind the ball, rather than in trying to help in lining up.

. 2. Caddie lifting ball on the putting green

Under Rule 14.1b: •

The player’s caddie will be allowed to mark and lift the player’s ball on the putting green any time the player is allowed to do so, without needing authorization. The caddie will continue to be allowed to replace the player’s ball only if the caddie was the one who had lifted or moved the ball.

CAMP CREEK GOLF CLUB | SHARK’S TOOTH GOLF CLUB

3. Ball accidentally struck more than once during a stroke

Under Rule 10.1a, if the player’s club accidentally hits the ball more than once during a single stroke: •

There will be no penalty and the ball will be played as it lies.

New Local Rule

Local Rule: Alternative to stroke and distance Purpose of Model Local Rule: Significant issues with pace of play can result from players needing to take stroke-and-distance relief for a ball that is out of bounds or cannot be found when a provisional ball has not been played. The purpose of this Local Rule is to allow a Committee to provide an extra relief option that means that a player may play on without returning to the location of the previous stroke. This Local Rule is not intended for higher levels of play, such as professional or elite amateur level competitions. This option allows the player to drop in a large area between the point where the ball is estimated to have come to rest or gone out of bounds and the edge of the fairway that is not nearer the hole The player gets two penalty strokes when using this relief option, so that the relief is comparable to what could have been achieved if the player had taken stroke-anddistance relief. Text of Model Local Rule “When a player’s ball cannot be found or is known or virtually certain to be out of bounds, the player may proceed as follows rather than proceeding under stroke and distance. For two penalty strokes, the player may take relief by dropping the original ball or a substituted ball in this relief area (see Rule 14.3): Two Estimated Reference Points: A. Ball Reference Point: The point where the original ball: • •

Is estimated to have come to rest on the course, or Last crossed the edge of the course boundary to go out of bounds.

B. Fairway Reference Point: The point of fairway of the hole being played that is nearest to the ball reference point, but is not nearer the hole than the ball reference point.

35

GOLF EVENTS & HANDBOOK


For purposes of this Local Rule, “fairway” means any area of grass in the general area that is cut to fairway height or less. Size of Relief Area Based on Reference Points: Anywhere between: • •

A line from the hole through the ball reference point (or within two clublengths to the outside of that line), and A line from the hole through the fairway reference point (or within two club-lengths to the outside of that line).

But with these limits: Limits on Location of Relief Area: • •

Must be in the general area, and Must not be nearer the hole than the ball reference point.

But, the player may not use this option when: • •

The ball is known or virtually certain to have come to rest in a penalty area, or The player has played another ball provisionally under penalty of stroke and distance (see Rule 18.3).”

Golf Course Etiquette Persons using the golf facilities should do their part to make a round of golf at the Club a pleasant experience for everyone. Here are some suggestions: 1. Do not waste time. Anticipate the club or clubs you may need and go directly to your ball. Always be near your ball to play promptly when it is your turn. If a player is delayed in making a shot, it would be courteous for such player to indicate to another player to play which should not be deemed playing out of turn. 2. The time required to “hole out� on and around the green is a chief cause of slow play. Study and clear the line of your putt while others are doing the same. Be ready to putt when it is your turn. 3. Be sociable, but reserve your extended conversations for the clubhouse after the round. 4. Players should ensure that greens are not damaged by putting down bags or the flagsticks and that the hole is not damaged by standing close to it or by removing the flagstick or the ball from the hole. The flagstick should be properly replaced in the hole before the players leave the green. No one should move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke. 5. No one should move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke. 6. When approaching a green, park your golf cart on the cart path on the best direct line to the next tee, in order to save significant time. This can save about twenty (20) minutes per round. Never leave the golf cart in front of the green where you will have to go back to get it, while the following players wait for you to move on. 7. When play of a hole is completed, leave the green promptly and proceed to the next tee without delay. Do the scoring for the completed hole while the others in your group are playing from the next tee. 8. If you are not holding your place on the course (see General Golf Rules), allow the players behind to play through. Do the same if you stop to search for a lost ball. 9. The golf rangers will report slow play and all breaches of golf etiquette to the golf shop. Appropriate action will be taken by the golf shop personnel.

10. Repair your ball marks on the greens. If you see unrepaired ball marks repair them also. Remind your playing partners to observe this courtesy. 11. Enter and leave bunkers at the nearest level point to the green. Carefully rake bunkers after use and place the rake outside the bunker. 12. Any divots made in the fairways should be filled with sand contained in the sand buckets on the golf carts.
