Rules that only apply to Kokopelli

Bunkers
All bunkers are a free drop and you can drop beside the bunker but make sure you are not closer to the hole than where the ball finished in the bunker. Our bunkers are always wet with no sand because the sprinklers fill them up and this is a course rule and not just a ladies league rule.

Weed Piles
There are some piles of weeds located around the course that swallow up your ball and you cannot even see your ball and they do not cut or trim them at all. Take your ball out and drop your ball not closer to the hole with a free drop. (and you may find other balls in these weeds)

Rules that Kokopelli Ladies League has adopted and other clubs might have voted it in at the AWGA/AGA suggestion to speed up play.

Out of Bounds Ruling
For 2 penalty strokes, guess where the ball went out of bounds, drop the ball on the fairway not nearer the hole and you do not have to go back and hit from where you did before … make sure you watch the video link above to explain this rule.

Rule for Posting Scores

If you pick up for any reason, as for me, it is always my knee:

1. You are out of the 29 putt club

2. You might or might not be out of the play of the day.
Drop out on an odd hole and pod is even hole, you are still in pod
Drop any hole on back or front nine and pod is the opposite front or back and you are still in pod
Pod is overall putts, you are out of pod

But you must post your score as per rules below for posting scores

Always post your score

...

Here is how to figure out what score to write down for the hole/holes you did not play.

You take the score of the hole plus your handicap strokes.

If you are an 18 handicap then you add 1 stroke to any hole's par that you picked up your ball or did not play that hole. If you are a 36 handicap then you add 2 strokes to any hole's par. If you fall between the numbers then you look at the hole difficulty and if you were a 19 handicap and picked up on hole 8, that is the #1 hole difficulty at Kokopelli so you have to add 2 to that hole's par.

So you need to look at the scorecard and there is a column labeled "Yardage - Handicap" and this tells you the difficulty rating of all 18 holes. Our hardest hole is #8 followed by #15, then the third hardest is #1, and the fourth hardest is #18 but you can figure out how many strokes to add to the hole's par using this method. Just ask me if you have any questions.

ALWAYS POST your score on the hole by hole method on the blue USGA GHIN app as it automatically corrects your score if you go over what you are allowed (which is double bogey plus handicap)

ALWAYS HAVE the red USGA RULES OF GOLF app on your phone to look up rules quickly but play 2 balls and ask when you get in if no-one knows the ruling.

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE FUN while playing golf no matter what you shoot.
