Rules:

• Each medal is worth 1 mulligan or 1 foot-wedge.

  • Once a player declares a mulligan, that ball is in play and a medal is deducted. The original ball is out of play.

  • Foot wedges may not be when the ball is already on the green however you may advance the ball onto the green. As soon as the foot contacts the ball once, the medal is deducted. A second kick, is a 2nd medal or a 2 stroke penalty if the player is out of medals for each additional kick.

• OB and lost ball via gallery rule is played as a lateral hazard (1 stroke penalty and drop at nearest point of entry plus 2 club lengths.) This is a gentleman’s game so don’t lie and don’t harass your opponents please. Work together. Gallery rule is intended for leaves and deep rough in play— not the woods or native areas.

• Triple bogie max on front 9 and no max on back 9

• Gimmie putter length on front 9. Finish every putt on back 9.

• Max par on first hole in effect. You must make an actual par on 1 however to get a net birdie if you are stroking on the hole

• Barring muddy/rainy conditions, the ball will be played down everywhere except the sand. Rake and place within 3 feet inside the trap.

• In case of a tie, a 2-hole aggregate playoff on holes 1 and 4 will determine the winner. If there is still a tie then sudden death will start on the next available hole. Unused medals may be used in the playoff and handicap of hole determines shots given. In the event of a tie after the aggregate, players will continue at sudden death on the 1st hole.

• Breach of etiquette may result in a 2-stroke penalty. If a fellow competitor asks you to move out of their field of vision, line of play, or move your marker you must comply. If you refuse it will be deemed poor sportsmanship and a 2-stroke penalty will be assessed to the offending player per incident. Golfers have always held themselves to the highest standards on the golf course which includes respecting a reasonable time and comfortable space for a competitor to hit a shot and anticks to distract your fellow competitors will not be tolerated.

• Please prepare your next shot while other golfers are playing (for example get your yardage, begin to read the green, select a club, etc.)

• DROP ZONES

  • We will use drop zones as designated by signage on the course in addition to these LUV Golf Tour Rules:

    3rd Hole: behind green in rough next to signage

    11th Hole behind green in rough next to signage

    16th Hole: Start of fairway next to signage

• Tees

  <60years old Blue tees and >60 years old white tees with following changes:

  • Hole 1: Everyone plays Blue Tees

  • Hole 6: Up one tee

  • Hole 12: everyone plays back a tee
