Two Person Better Ball - January

AGC TWO-PERSON BETTER BALL & NCGA FOUR-BALL NET QUALIFIER

PACE OF PLAY: The management of LTGC has mandated that all groups in AGC tournaments will not exceed a pace of 4 hours 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: This is a low net, two-person better ball tournament using 90% of AGC handicap for scoring (Four-ball stroke play), with no flights. A maximum index of 18.4 is used to calculate handicaps for the Qualifier (36.4 maximum used for AGC points). Partners handicaps can not differ by more than 8. Two teams will represent the AGC at the Sectional Qualifier, and two Senior teams (each must be 55 by the day before NCGA Sectional qualifier) will advance to their respective Sectional Qualifier as published in the NCGA Blue Book.

SCORING: Score each player's gross score and the better net score per hole (total of three scores per hole).

SUMMER RULES: USGA Rules govern play.

WINTER RULES: Lift, clean and place within one LTGC scorecard length no nearer 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 for spots on NCGA Qualifier, 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.
