Event Guidelines for ALL MGA Play

·       All balls scored must be played out.  Hole out all putts.  If you can’t help the team you may pick up and move on using the USGA ESC system to mark your score.

·       Place only the gross score for each player on the card.  Keep the total net at the bottom of the card.  When cards are checked this makes it MUCH easier to verify the scores.  If a member picks up on a hole, the score recorded for the hole is to be the most likely score the player would have made if the ball had been holed out, not to exceed the Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) stroke limit.  The score should be marked with an ‘X’ to signify the player picked up without finishing the hole.

·       If a player's score for any hole is left blank, the team will be unable to use any of that player's scores for the whole round.  All cards must be signed, attested, and posted by the player whose name is on top of the score sheet.

·       All balls are to be played down unless you are playing cart paths only.  At that time we will use the cart path rule of lift, clean, and place through the green.
