Players and NCGA Zone Qual - February

AGC PLAYER'S TOURNAMENT & NCGA ZONE QUALIFIER

PACE OF PLAY:   The management of LTGC has mandated that all groups in AGC tournaments will not exceed a pace of 4hours and 45 minutes for 18 holes with carts off paths or 5 hours with carts restricted to cart path. Failure to maintain these standards will result in offending players being denied play in AGC tournaments, for the benefit of our entire Club. KEEP UP WITH THE GROUP IN FRONT OF YOU!

FORMAT:   The entire field will play low gross / low net, individual stroke play using 100% of AGC handicap for AGC points and no flights. The top 50 renewing amateurs over age 18 from the previous year's points list will also compete for a spot on the Zone Team, consisting of one low gross and three low net players that will compete in the Northeast Bay Zone Regional as described in the NCGA Blue Book. A maximum AGC index of 18.4, and 90% of AGC handicaps will be used for low net scoring.

SUMMER RULES: USGA Rules govern play.

WINTER RULES:   Lift, clean, and place within one LTGC scorecard length no nearer to the hole and in the same cut of grass.

TEES:   All players - white tees.

CLOSIES:   Closest to the hole competition will be held on two holes each day.

POSTING:   DO NOT post your scores in the computer. Your score will be posted for you.

EMBEDDED BALL:   The "embedded ball rule" Appendix I is in effect "through the green".

OBSTRUCTIONS:   Protective fence left of No.16 and behind No.17 green, protective fence behind No. 12 tee, cart paths, yardage markers, wooden bridges, and staked trees. Proceed under Rule 24.

LIFT AREAS: Drainage ditches filled with rocks are deemed ground under repair. Proceed under Rule 25-1.

TIES: No playoffs for AGC points. Score card playoff ties for spots on Zone Team, by matching score cards per Appendix I, "How to Decide Ties", paragraph 2. Winners will be determined on the basis of the best (net) score for the last nine holes played. If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, then winner will be determined on the basis of the last six holes, last three holes, and finally the last hole played.

SCORE CARDS: You must keep fellow competitor's scorecard. Please turn your signed and attested scorecard to the score table IMMEDIATELY following play.
