Tournament Rules

This is not an official tournament, we will be avoiding delay of game as much as possible this year, but still offering all the FUN components that you LOVE!!

It will be considered bad form to take more strokes than a bogie on each hole. If you reach this point, as a team pick up your ball and move onto the next hole.
Golfers who normally break 100 or 95 should play out all holes
Practicing your stroke should happen at the driving range. Please allow better teams to play through.

No-one expects you to break 100, no-one expects you to finish if you don't want to, but we do expect you to HAVE FUN!!
