Important update for 2023 Conquerors
Couple of important updates for next Monday’s opening round…..
Scoring for the Associates’ Division
Due to a glitch in our scoring software, we’re going to change a couple of things for the associates’ division. First, we’re going to play a regular scramble instead of two-man alternate shot. Second, we are going to be forced to utilize physical scorecards instead of 100% electronic scoring on a smart device. Finally, we will be awarding the low net winners and runner-ups in the associate’s division. That all being said, you should still download the Golf Status app as it has hole by hole overviews along with one of the most accurate GPS apps in the golf industry. You can find more info, here.
All Adaptive Divisions
As previously stated, we are going to utilize physical scorecards instead of a 100% electronic scoring. We will grab your scores at the turn and, when you complete your round, manually enter your scores on the back nine into the software for live scoring on the website and automatic assignment of the next round’s tee times. The live scoreboard should be good as soon as you get off the course.
Updates, Announcements, and Tee-Times
All updates, announcements, and tee times (after the first round) will either be pushed to your email/mobile device or accessed through the GolfStatus application on your mobile device.
See links below:
Tournament Rules for the 2023 Conquerors Paragolf Championships
All scores should be entered into the Golf Status app by the playing partner.
Grand Champions: Should there be a tie for first place, an outright winner will be determined by a three hole aggregate (low net) score on holes 16, 17, and 18.. If still tied after those holes then further sudden death holes may also be played until a winner emerges.
Individual Classifications: A scorecard count back compares scores hole by hole starting with 17, then 16, etc. The first player with a lower net score is declared the winner.
USGA RULES GOVERN ALL PLAY EXCEPT WHERE MODIFIED BY THESE FOLLOWING LOCAL RULES:
• When a player’s ball has not been found or is known or virtually certain to be out of bounds, the player may proceed under local rule E-5 for a PENALTY OF TWO STROKES. The player may not use this option if the player has played a provisional ball or as an option to take relief for the original ball that is known or virtually certain to have come to rest in a penalty area.
Model Local Rule E-5 states: “This option allows the player to drop in a large area between the point where the ball is estimated to have come to rest or gone out of bounds and the edge of the fairway of the hole being played that is not nearer the hole.
“The player gets two penalty strokes when using this relief option. This means that the relief is comparable to what could have been achieved if the player had taken stroke-and-distance relief.”
• OB defined by white stakes
• Free relief from the driving range fence and netting behind 9 green.
• The course-side edge of the homeowner’s wall on the left of 3 defines the OB.
• Split rail fencing defines OB on the following holes: 1, 3, 4, 8, 16, 17, left and right of 1 fairway, left of 2 fairway, left of 6 tee, left of 7 fairway and left of 12 fairway.
• The Split rail fencing left of 10 green defines a red penalty area. Relief for this penalty area must be taken in the drop zone with a one stroke penalty.
• Drop Area for holes 10 & 18 are the Red Teeing grounds, unless otherwise marked.
• The wash crossing hole 3 is a penalty area. The edge of the penalty area is as marked or defined by its natural boundary. All other washes that cross holes on 6, 11, 13, 14 & 17 are part of the general area.
• All roads and paths are considered Obstructions.
• Shots hitting telephone wires must be replayed.
• Exposed tree roots that extend into the fairway will be marked and designated as “ground under repair”.
• Seated Golfers Only: Sand traps marked with a red flag will be regarded as “ground under repair” due to the lack of safe ingress or egress . You may drop within two clubs from the edge of the bunker from the point the ball entered the bunker and incur no penalty.
