RULES OF PLAY
· Play extremely READY golf, but traditional course etiquette still applies.
· On average in take about 6-8 complete each hole. A horn will sound approximately every two hours to judge your pace of play (you should be completing 18 holes every two hours). If you are falling behind an event representative may ask you speed up play or pick up and move on to the next hole.
· Maximum of 8 strokes allowed per hole. No more than 2 putts per green. Do not pull the flag sticks. Any putt within a club length of the hole is considered “good”.
· No Lost Ball penalties. Don’t search for lost balls! If you don’t drive right up to it, simply drop a ball near where you expected it to be and play on without any penalty.
· No Out of Bounds penalties. If you hit a ball Out of Bounds, simply drop a ball within 2 club lengths of where the ball went out and play on without penalty.
· No Water Hazard penalties. If you hit a ball in the water hazard, simply drop a ball within 2 club lengths of where the ball went in the hazard and play on without penalty.
· Prizes will be awarded for all golfers and for all skill levels. Although score is not of primary importance for the marathon, prizes will be awarded according to score. Therefore scorecards will be provided for you to turn in. Your caddy will keep our score.
