Please review this year's Golf League Rules.  If you have any questions, additions or comments, please bring them to the meeting on April 22, 2009. (New rules and the more important rules of the league are in bold type.)

1.    Dues have been set at $150.00 PER TEAM for this year if paid by March 12, 2010.  If paid after March 12, 2009 dues will increase to $180.00 per team. Dues absolutely must be paid by March , 2010.  PLEASE SUBMIT DUES IN ONE CHECK OR BOTH MAILED TOGETHER.  NO EXCEPTIONS.
2.    League will begin Thursday, April 29 and end Thursday, August 26, 2009.
3.    The league banquet will be on September 2, 2010.  The banquet and the Kickoff Party will be paid for out of your dues.
4.    The league will be limited to 56 teams.  This breaks down to 14 teams per 4 division.
5.    All score cards must be turned in at the bar immediately after play.  If a score card is not turned in by 8:30 pm NO points will be awarded for that week.
6.    League handicap limit will be set at 25 (3 per hole on the par 4's and 5's and 2 on the par 3's).  If a handicap has not been established after the 3rd week, you will play at a zero until handicap is established.  (Handicaps will carry over from the previous year.)
7.    If your team does not show up for two consecutive weeks or have a sub, your team will be removed from the active team list.  If both teams agree to make up a week, the match must be made up within one week, between Thursday of the scheduled play date and the next Thursday.
8.    Prize monies (gift certificates) will be paid to the top 28 teams (7 in each division).
9.    Eight (8) points will be awarded per week - 4 per person (2 for strokes and 2 for medal play).
10.    Shotgun start at 5:30 p.m. each week with USGA and Local Rules in effect.
11.    The ball may be played up, moved up to 6" but no closer to the hole.
12.    In the case of a forfeit, both players on the team that shows up must shoot no higher than their handicap plus one (1) stroke to get all 8 points.  If both players fail to do so, they will only get 4 points.  If only one player shoots within their handicap plus one stroke, the team will get 6 points.  In other words, the team that does not show up will lose a minimum of 4 points and may lose 6 or 8 depending on what the other team shoots.
13.    If the course is closed on league night, that week WILL be skipped and go onto the next week's opponents.
14.    The League Secretary will receive $5.00 per person from the league.
