The Rules
All USGA rules govern play in addition to the following SIGT Rules:
1. First and foremost, OBEY ALL POSTED RULES AND EXHIBIT EXCELLENT GOLF
ETIQUETTE TOWARD OUR HOST COURSE AND FELLOW GOLFERS. This includes the
potential for cart path only on Saturday.
2. WINTER RULES, minor improvements to ball lie are allowed excluding hazards.
3. ONE MULLIGAN PER ROUND, from the tee only. Use it or loose it. Once mulligan is hit, it is
considered used. However, you can choose to play your first ball if you want. MARK MULLIGAN
HOLES WITH AN 'M' ON THE CARD. You CAN NOT win a skin or a prize on a mulligan hole.
4. PLAY OUT OF BOUNDS AS A HAZARD PENALTY. This will keep play moving for the
whole tournament. One penalty stroke and next shot struck from where the ball crossed the Out of
Bounds markers, two club lengths no closer to the hole.
5. A penalty stroke must be taken for any unplayable lies. Two club lengths no closer to the hole.
6. Cart paths and 'manmade' obstructions do NOT count as unplayable lies. No penalty stroke and
one club length no closer to the hole.
7. All putts must be hit. NO GIMMIES.
8. MAX SCORE OF DOUBLE PAR. Once you reach double par, pick your ball up, you are done
for that hole. Mark double par on the scorecard.
9. The tees played will be as follows: Men from the WHITE TEES; WOMEN and JUNIORS
from the GREY Tees. No more than two club lengths behind the marked tees.
10. Side bets within the groups are encouraged.
