Other General Information

Appropriate attire should be worn on the golf course.  The current dress code for Tellico Village courses is posted in the Pro Shops.  Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled tee time or shotgun start.  Announcements will be made PROMPTLY at 8:15 a.m. after which we will proceed to our starting tees for an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.  

  RAIN POLICY

On questionable weather days, we will NOT cancel play unless the course is closed.  If you are signed up to play and do not wish to play, please call the Pro Shop of the Tellico Village course where we are scheduled to play to cancel.  If a Team event is scheduled for that day and an insufficient number of players show up, we will revert to individual stroke play.  Prize payout will be determined based on the number of players participating.  Rain checks will be issued if it rains after play has begun.  

GOLF ETIQUETTE

  ·        Maintain pace of play.  Every effort should be made to play at the same pace as the group in front of you.  However, a ball being struck can be heard from a considerable distance and a ball landing too close to the group in front of you is a distraction.  Hitting when the group is too close is dangerous and discourteous.

• When on the putting green, do not stand within the peripheral vision 
  of the player who is putting.  Never stand within the area that would be considered the line of sight of the player putting.  Do not stand on their “line” to the hole.  Use common sense and stand where they cannot see you while they putt.

·        Repair your ball mark (and one other) before leaving the green.

·        Do not move, talk, or stand in the line of sight of a player making 
a stroke anywhere on the course.

• On the fairway, use the sand provided to fill your divot and any 
  others close by.

·        When leaving a bunker, use the rake to carefully fill and smooth 
holes and footprints.  

HANDICAPS

The USGA’s Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) sets a maximum number
 that a player can post on any hole depending on the player’s course handicap.  
Your score must be adjusted accordingly, prior to posting for handicap purposes. 

TVLGA – 18 members will play to a maximum course handicap of 36 
in all League events.

EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL

  Most Improved Golfer Award

To be considered for the “Most Improved Golfer Award”, a player must have
 participated in the League from the start of the season with an established handicap.

SCORING

Each player is responsible for turning in a score card (as determined by the Professional Staff) after EVERY round of golf, both at home and away.

Post scores in all forms of play…stroke play and even team competitions 
in which you are requested to pick up.  If a player does not finish a hole or 
is conceded a stroke, the player shall record their MOST LIKELY SCORE.  
MOST LIKELY SCORE is the number of strokes already taken plus the 
estimated number of strokes needed to complete the hole.  All tournament scores need to be posted as tournament scores.

You are to post your score when you play at least 13 holes of an 18-hole round or at least 7 holes of a 9-hole round.  On the holes you did not play, record a par plus any handicap strokes you would have received for that hole.  

GOLF RULES

  ·        Except for “Local Rules” and “League Rules” (if any), USGA Rules
         of Golf  will apply.

·        The Pro Shop will post a notice advising golfers when and which Local Rules are in effect.  If “Winter Rules” or “Preferred Lies” are in effect, a golfer may, without penalty, improve her lie by one club length when on the fairway or in the rough (however, after the one club length improvement, the ball must remain in the rough), no closer to the hole.  Otherwise, play the ball as it lies in the fairway, in the rough or in a hazard.  UNDER USGA RULES ANY TIME A BALL IS MOVED, A 1-STROKE PENALTY MUST BE TAKEN.

• A player may declare a ball UNPLAYABLE at any place on the course except when the ball is in a water hazard.  If a ball is declared unplayable, the player may, under penalty of one stroke.

1. Play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played.
2. Drop a ball within two club-lengths of the spot where the ball lay, but not nearer the hole.
3. Drop a ball behind the point where the ball lay, keeping that point directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped, with no limit to how far behind that point the ball may be dropped.
4. If the unplayable ball is in a bunker, she may proceed under any of the three options listed above.  However, if she elects Options 2 or 3, the ball must be dropped in the bunker.

• Ground under repair (GUR) will be marked with a white line.  A free drop may be taken, one club length from the nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole.

§         Points are given for Low Putts on Pin Days only.   For this reason, 
on those days, all putts must be holed.

• OUT OF BOUNDS:  Out of Bounds are marked by white stakes (in some cases a white line may be used).  The stakes are NOT considered obstructions and are deemed to be fixed.  They may NOT be removed when making a stroke.  If you suspect your ball is out of bounds, or lost outside a water hazard, to save time, 
  play a PROVISIONAL ball.  You must declare that you are playing a provisional ball and identify it to your fellow competitors.  A player may continue to hit the provisional ball until she reaches the spot where the original ball was lost.  If, after a brief search, the original ball is found and is in play, she may abandon 
  the provisional ball and hit the original ball as it lies without penalty.  The penalty for an out of bounds ball or lost ball is stroke and distance.
  
• HAZARDS:  Lateral water hazards are defined by red stakes and red lines.  
  Water hazards are defined by yellow stakes and yellow lines.  Both red and yellow stakes may be removed if they interfere in making a stroke.  Grounding a club when addressing a ball in a hazard is a 1 stroke penalty.  This also applies to bunkers.  

• DISPUTES:  In stroke play, if a dispute arises and cannot be resolved on the course within a reasonable time, a player may choose to play a second ball.  The player must announce to his fellow competitors his 
  intention to do so and declare with which ball he will score, if the rules permit.  Both balls are to be holed out.  Both scores will be kept on the scorecard.  When the player reaches the clubhouse, a Pro will be consulted and a ruling will be made.

  §       DROP ZONES:  There will be marked drop zones in appropriate
         areas on all courses.  We will play according to local rules as posted in the
         clubhouses.  

 STANDING RULES

The following standing rules are effective January, 2009:

LEAGUE TOURNAMENTS AND EXTRA EVENTS

 “THE GAME OF GOLF CONSISTS IN PLAYING A BALL FROM THE TEEING 
GROUND AND INTO THE HOLE BY A STROKE OR SUCCESSIVE STROKES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES.” 

MATCH PLAY:  In match play the game is played by holes.  Unless otherwise
provided in the Rules, a hole is won by the side which holes its ball in fewer 
strokes.  In a handicap match the lower net score wins.  The reckoning of holes 
is kept by the terms: so many “holes up” or “all square,” and so many “to play.”

 STROKE PLAY:  In stroke play, the competitor who plays the stipulated 
round or rounds in the fewest strokes is the winner.

 Rules:  All USGA rules will apply except:

1. Local Rules

2. Blue stakes (environmental areas) at Toqua – free drop

3. If there is a question during stroke play, you may play a second 
ball and after the round, discuss the ruling with the pro.  This does 
not apply in Match Play.        

LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP:  The League Championship is a Stroke Play event.  
The League Champion is the player with the Low Gross Total for two stipulated 
rounds.  Prizes are awarded for low gross and low net in each flight.  A League 
player must have completed 18 holes of play for seven (7) league play days in 
order to qualify for the event.  If the golf course is closed and League play is 
cancelled, the 7 play day requirement is adjusted accordingly.  Sign up through 
the Chelsea System.  Play is by tee times.

for a member who has only two guests.  The format will include a two-lady team 
event (best ball) and a four-person team event to be determined.  The two-lady 
team event will be flighted.  A portion of handicap will be used.  The fee is $55.00

banquet.  All players must putt out on every hole.  Please total your putts 
on score card.

PRESIDENT’S CUP:  The President’s Cup is a Match Play event.  It will be 
played over multiple days.  The players will be placed in flights according to

of each flight will play off to determine an overall winner and runner-up.  We will 
be using 80% of handicap when player gets out of own flight.  Play is by tee times.

RINGERS:  An entry fee is paid by each player.  Scores are kept individually
