Don't Forget, Post Your Scores!
An accurate GHIN Handicap is key for fair play and it's a good measure of your progress in trying to improve your game.
Also, don't forget to "adjust" your scores according to Equitable Stroke Control (ESC). You need to adjust each hole's score down to the ESC according to your handicap level.
Equitable Stroke Control (ESC):
Course Handicap
9 or less - Max Double Bogey per hole
10-19 - Max 7 strokes per hole
20-29 - Max 8 strokes per hole
30-39 - Max 9 strokes per hole
40-up - Max 10 strokes per hole
Golf Rule of the Week
Rule 15-3 Wrong Ball
a. Match Play
If a player makes a stroke at a wrong ball, he loses the hole. If the wrong ball belongs to another player, its owner must place a ball on the spot from which the wrong ball was first played. If the player and opponent exchange balls during the play of a hole, the first to make a stroke at a wrong ball, loses the hole; when this cannot be determined, the hole must be played out with the balls exchanged.
b. Stroke Play
If a competitor makes a stroke or strokes at a wrong ball, he incurs a penalty of two strokes. The competitor must correct his mistake by playing the correct ball or by proceeding under the Rules. If he fails to correct his mistake before making a stroke on the next teeing ground, or in the case of the last hole of the round, fails to declare his intention to correct his mistake before leaving the putting green, he is disqualified. Strokes made by a competitor with a wrong ball do not count in his score. If the wrong ball belongs to another competitor, its owner must place a ball on the spot from which the wrong ball was first played.

Member-Member
Golf Event
Sat July 31
Our next Member-Member golf get together will be Sat July 31. The tournament committee has put together a "fun" event that all members and their guests will enjoy. It will be a "6-6-6" format, where the first 6 holes will be "Alternate Shot", the second 6 holes will be "Best Ball", and the last 6 holes will be "Scramble".
Alternate shot is when each team of 4, alternates whose shot will be used. Person 1 will hit the first shot, person 2 will hit the second shot, etc. Best Ball is where each of the team plays their own ball tee to green, then only the best ball score is used for the team. Scramble is where each person hits a ball, then all hit their next shot from the best ball.
Members can invite guests, and all will be assigned to teams based on their handicap, ABC&D players per team. Hopefully you will meet and play with new members. The cost is $5 for prizes, $10 for guest green fee, and $12 for carts.
Look for the sign-up sheet on our new bulletin board!
