Handicaps

Individual handicaps must be declared.  If you do not have an official handicap then a best guess will suffice (max 24).

To calculate your team handicap, add all your team members course handicaps, then divide by twice the amount of players (eg: Teams of 3 divide by 6).

Game Format and Ambrose Rules

• All players tee off on every hole.
• The team then selects one shot to be their best shot, which is where they will ALL play their second shot from.
• To continue from the point of the best shot spot, you may place your ball within one club length no nearer the hole.
• Once on the green, the best positioned ball is marked and all players putt from that point, within one putter head length no nearer the hole, until the hole is finished.
• You must use a minimum of 4 tee shots per player.

Scoring

• There is only one score for the team per hole. Team captains record the gross score for each hole (number of shots taken to put the ball in the hole plus any penalties).
• Team net score when you’ve finished 18 holes’ is calculated by deducting the team handicap from the gross score. 

Dress Code

You will not be able to play unless you follow the dress code at the course.  This is: no jeans on the course, collared shirt, and golf shoes must be worn on the course.  If you do not have golf shoes please wear running shoes.  Smart jeans can be worn in the clubhouse.

Rate of Play

If you lose sight of a ball, have a quick scan of the area but move on quickly to avoid holding up others.
