2008 FRIDAY NIGHT COUPLES LEAGUE

Format:

The Sandy Pines Golf Club Friday Night Couples League will meet on Friday

evenings in a two-person, full handicap (maximum handicap 12) scramble format.

Cost:

A one time league fee will be $55 per couple. There is a mandatory $5 a week fee

that goes toward the event and skins.

There is an optional one time fee of $5 per couple for the "Hole-in-One" contest.

The contest ends with the first hole-in-one during the season. If there is no hole-in

-one during the season, names will be drawn at the end of the year outing from those who entered and those individuals will split the pot that was collected.

Scoring:

Full handicap scoring will be one point per hole, and one point for low net (10 points total). A running total will be kept to determine league standings. Please check and sign your score card before turning them in. Once scorecards are submitted, those scores will stand.

Substitutes will be allowed, but scores will not be used to figure handicap. Please

try to use a substitute with a handicap close to your own.

If you play your match before Friday night, please submit your scorecard to our

League Secretary/ Treasurer Jamie Stein by Friday night.

Specific Rules:

When a team does not have an opponent, the absent opponent forfeits and the team will receive six points if they shoot their average. A half-point will be added for each stroke under their average and a half-point will be deducted for every stroke over

their average.

If you cannot make your match that week you must either notify your opponents,

notify an officer of the league or call the golf course so you can put you on the "No Show" list. It is strongly encouraged to contact your opponents every week

to confirm their participation. If you have No-Shows, please try to wait until another couple without partners can be found so you can play your match

or team up with another foursome. Couples cannot play their rounds as a twosome. Only matches played before the scheduled date are eligible for points

and must be played on the scheduled nine holes with opponents. Only matches

played between league hours will be eligible for events and skins. League hours

are 3:00 pm to 5:45 pm. You must play your scheduled side to be eligible for

skins, events and points.

At Scramble events (either scheduled or outing), if a couple fails to show, the

officers will make every attempt to replace the no show couple from the substitution

list with handicaps as close as possible to the missing team. If all substitutions

have been exhausted, other means will be used to try and keep play as far as possible. However, when all attempts to keep handicaps relatively close have

failed, the officers will fill the missing team with any available couple.

Outing Committee:

The Outing Committee is responsible for time schedule of events, game format,

food and possible entertainment. The Outing Committee must have sign-up

sheets given to an officer one week prior to the outing for scheduling purposes.

Before planning an outing, the Secretary/Treasurer must be consulted for budgetary allowances. All outing events will be played with league partners.

Rules for Play:

A team's ball may be rolled within a two-foot, 180-degree radius, but no closer to

the hole. If both players' balls are lost or out of bounds, a stroke penalty (but not a distance penalty) will be applied. The drop is to be taken in an area agreeable to

your opponents.

In case of wet course conditions and/or no carts are allowed out, the event is cancelled. If rain occurs during the event and not all couples can complete their

match, the event is cancelled.

All other United States Golf Association rules apply. Please contact the Rules Committee for further rules clarification.
