Big Group    Saturday Game    The Cripps    Early Birdies    Tues-Thurs Grp    About the Groups    Sign In    Home    Photo Albums   Group Overviews All groups are modified stableford scoring system based. Stableford scoring systems are stroke-play formats in which the high total wins, not the low. That's because in Stableford, your final score is not your stroke total, but rather the total points you have earned for your scores on each individual hole. Stableford Competitions are addressed in the Rules of Golf under Rule 32. Stableford is a form of stroke play and, with few exceptions, the rules for stroke play apply. Each group has it's own set of rules and format so pay close attention to those. Keep in mind that you are playing under general stroke play rules and you'll be fine. How it works If you have not played in these groups before, here is a quick explanation of how it all works, what you can expect, and what is standard protocol. You can call in or use the online system to sign up for the event. You will want to sign up about an hour or so before play begins. Get to the range in time to loosen up and make sure to factor in that the range can be very busy before the start of the events. Around 5 minutes before the start of the event, the pro shop will come out with a list and bring that too the practice putting green. You will need to find your name on that list - which will tell you who is on your team and what "player rank" you are in the team (Captain, 2 man, 3 man, 4 man, 5 man) and how many points you are shooting at. At that point, identify your teammates (especially your captain if you are not one). Make sure to introduce yourself to your Captain if you don't know each other already. If you are riding, try to identify team members and see if they are riding as well and pair up if possible. If you are walking, you should then proceed to your teeing area. If you have any questions during the round especially where rules are concerned, check with your captain. If you are a captain, make sure you are familiar with typical rulings. If a team is unable to make a determination on a ruling, you will need to play 2 balls (the two different rulings ways in question). You will record both scores and the captain will determine the outcome and which score is used after the round. After the round is played, proceed to the Men's Grill where your competition is tallied. Your Captain will then pay you a visit to inform you of what you have won (or possibly what you have lost). Make sure you check with the Golf Shop and/or the Czar of each group before attempting to sign up.
