Three
ideas for common golf etiquette ... play FAST, play SAFE,
play COURTEOUSLY. Read John Gunby's handout about Fast,
Safe, and Courteous.
CELL
PHONES: To be courteous to golfers on the course, we request
cell phones be used for emergencies only and the phones be
in a silent mode while golfing.
GUESTS:
Guests cannot play more than 3 times without joining the Shalimar
9-Hers. Do not have more than 4 people in your golf group.
LEAVE
GREEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER PUTTING OUT. DO YOUR SCORING AFTER
REACHING THE NEXT TEE.
DO
NOT spend a lot of time fishing for balls!
ALL
STROKES COUNT: If you CAP at 10, you may pick up your
ball, or X out at anytime, BUT you are ineligible for POD
or Tournament play. Your adjusted score will count for handicap.
WHIFF:
When you intend to hit the ball but miss it completely, this
is called a "whiff" and it counts as a stroke.
ON
THE FIRST TEE: Identify your ball by name and number to
those playing with you. Do not move, talk or stand in line
of sight when player is teeing off or putting. TWO STROKE
PENALTY if you play another person's ball. (USGA has additional
rules)
ON
THE GREEN: Once all players are on the green, it is a
common courtesy to mark your ball. Once you start putting,
you can putt out to speed up play. If you hit someone else's
ball when putting, you must take a TWO STROKE penalty. The
person whose ball is hit is not assessed a penalty. (USGA
has additional rules)
TENDING
THE FLAGSTICK: Rule of thumb is person with ball closest
to pin takes out the flag. Then the first person to putt in
puts the flag back in. Do scoring on the next tee.
SAND
TRAPS: Do not ground the club in the sand trap. Rake traps
after using. A common courtesy is for a members of the group
to rake for the person in the sand.
FAIRWAY
AND DIVOTS: When in the wrong fairway, you must give right-of-way
to those playing in that fairway. Repair and replace divots
immediately -- press down firmly with your foot.
OUT
OF BOUNDS: (White stakes, driving range fence and course
boundaries) If your ball goes out of bounds, you must go back
to the original spot from which you last played it and play
another. Count both strokes and add a penalty stroke to your
score.
Hole 6 - Area with bushes, right of house is Out of Bounds.
LOST
BALL: Same rule and procedure applies as a ball hit Out
of Bounds. You have 5 minutes to look for a lost ball.
PROVISIONAL
BALL: If you think your ball goes Out of Bounds or is
Lost, you may play a Provisional ball provided you do so before
looking for your ball and you inform your fellow golfers that
you are taking a Provisional. If you find the Original Ball
(and it is not Out of Bounds), you pick up the Provisional
and play the Original without penalty. If you cannot find
your Original Ball or it is Out of Bounds, play the Provisional
and count all strokes taken along with any penalty strokes
incurred.
LATERAL
WATER HAZARDS: (defined by red lines or stakes) All
Water Hazards at Shalimar are considered Lateral Water Hazards.
These are 4 options:
- You
may play another ball from the place where you played the
original ball, count both strokes and take a penalty stroke.
- You
may drop a ball behind the hazard, keeping the spot where
it last crossed the margin of the hazard between the hole
and the spot on which the ball is dropped, with a one stroke
penalty.
- You
may drop a ball within 2 club lengths of the point where
the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard (or a point
on the opposite margin equidistant from the hole), no nearer
the hole, with a one stroke penalty.
- On
Holes 5, 6, or 9, you may drop a ball in the Drop Area
(brown tee markers). Drop Area for 5 and 6 are across the
water and 9 across the water to the right. There is a one
stroke penalty.
CART
PATH AND IMMOVABLE OBSTRUCTIONS: Immovable Obstructions
are artificial such as cart paths and bridges. Move to the
nearest point of relief where it does not interfere with your
swing or stance, no nearer to the hole. Take one club length
and drop the ball (again, no nearer to the hole). There is
no penalty. Note, if your ball is in a lateral water hazard,
there is no relief.
Holes
4, 7, & 8: Shrubs
and cactus, left of cart path, are considered part of the
cart path and above rules for cart path apply.
USGA
rules apply except as modified by Local Rules.
