The Happy Face Golf Tournament 2019

Rules for the Golf Tournament

 

1. Each Tee will have two teams of four people

   • Certain holes will have just 1 team of 4. The par 4's will have 2 teams of 4. 

   • 112 golfers = 28 teams of 4

   • Therefore, 8 holes have 2 teams and 10 holes will have 1 team  

2. Each team tries to score the lowest team score for 18 holes.

3. All players drive off every tee.

4. The team must use each team member’s tee shot at least twice during the round. This brings all four team members into play.

5. After all the team members have hit their tee shots, the team selects the ball in the best position and all second shots are placed and played within one club length of that selected ball

6. After the second shots, the best shot is selected and all third shots are played from that position.

7. This procedure is repeated until the hole is completed.

8. For every shot, you can lift, clean and replace the selected ball.

9. Even in the bunker, you may lift the selected ball, rake the bunker and replace the ball.

10. Wherever the selected ball lies, all shots must be taken from the same area condition. For example: Fairway on fairway. Rough in rough. Bunker in bunker. Hazard in hazard.

11. On the putting green:

    • All balls must be placed not further than 4 inches from the selected ball, (not nearer the hole).

    • All team members must putt before second putts are taken. If the first player to putt misses with his-her putt, then hits a second putt into the hole, that “two-putt” completes the hole and the team score. The other team members are not given the chance to finish the hole with a “one-putt”.

HANDICAP SYSTEM IF NEEDED:

If there is a tie between teams, the winning team/s is/are decided by comparing scores for the last nine holes on the score card.
