Rules

1) This tournament is a combination of stroke play (for individual title) and match play. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR EACH PLAYER TO PUTT OUT THEIR LAST PUTT ON EVERY HOLE EVEN IF THEIR TEAM HAS WON THE HOLE (except for scrambles). The maximum score per hole is triple bogey.

2) Balls can be rolled in the fairway but not in any rough or hazard.

3) If a player is in the rough, and in playing their ball their clubhead would strike an exposed tree root or rock, they can ask the other team for a drop within one club length no closer to the hole.

4) Putts “within the leather” of a standard putter can be conceded (two feet), but it must be with agreement of the other team. The ball must be completely within the 24" line

5) OUT OF BOUNDS RULES

a) Yellow Stakes-Two Options:

Stroke & Distance: Return to previous shot, one stroke to replace, then hit the shot again

         OR                                             

Back on the line: Place the ball anywhere on a line between the hole and where you hit the shot, but has to be behind the point where it entered the hazard, again one stroke penalty

   b) Red Stakes-Four Options

The two options above, and:

 Drop the ball within two club lengths where the ball crossed into the hazard, no closer to the hole, one stroke penalty OR

 Use drop zone with a one stroke penalty

c) White boundary stakes

You can hit the ball again from the spot you just played, with a one stroke penalty. Typically this is a tee shot and you would hit another ball from the tee and that will be your third shot (aka stroke plus distance)

      OR

You can mark the point where your ball crossed the white stake line, take one penalty stroke while you place your ball within two club lengths and play your third shot

6) Shotgun Mulligan     A "shotgun mulligan" is similar to a "fudge that shot" but with a twist. If a team wants a mulligan for either player, they can do so but they have to take a shot of alcohol. If Team A wants to make a player on Team B take a mulligan against their will, then Team A has to take a shot. There will be one mulligan per team allowed per hole, so Team A can take a mulligan for their shot, or Team A can make Team B take a mulligan, but no more mulligans per that hole for Team A.
