Proper golf etiquette should be maintained by all. Golf is such a nicer game when we respect the course and others and help maintain the beauty and playability of our course by replacing divots, raking sand traps and repairing ball marks on the greens. Observe all rules posted by the Town of Fairfield regarding cart paths, dress code, etc.
Most weekends, there will be designated events according with scoring summary sheets posted on the large scoreboard outside. Tournament formats will vary, with most tournaments establishing winners in gross and net divisions. The tournament chairman will be responsible for running weekend Tournaments. Any questions regarding these tournaments should be directed towards the Tournament Chairman.
Tournament scores must be posted on the scoreboard, and scorecards must be signed, attested and dated. Adjusted scores must also be posted in the computer. Failure to comply with scoring procedures will result in disqualification.
We have designated several major events as Major Tournaments. Scoring procedures remain the same as a weekend event. Any player who fails to show for an "Established Tee Time" or any player who begins a tournament and fails to complete the appropriate rounds (without an adequate reasons), can and will be subject to disqualification from future club events. Penalties for "No Shows" will be suggested by the tournament committee and presented to the Officers and Board of Governors at the next monthly meeting. Final decisions will be at the discretion of the board.
There are several events where we send players to participate in tournaments outside of our course. We expect all players to represent themselves, and our club in a dignified manner. Any player who knowingly and willingly abuses this policy may be subject to exclusion from participating in Outside tournament in the future. Furthermore, any player who fails to "Show Up" at a particular event (with adequate reason) will be excluded from future outside tournament for a period of one year. Final decisions will be at the discretion of the board.
Each Outside tournament will have a designated tournament coordinator who will be responsible for running the particular event. Any questions regarding these tournaments should be directed towards the tournament coordinator and/or the Outside tournament chairman.
All members will receive handicaps provided by the GHIN system. The system currently defaults all of our members to out "Gold Tee" rating. If you desire, the Handicap Chairman can default your GHIN number to the tee box you normally play.
All members are required to post their adjusted score in the computer. All scores (9 or 18 Holes) should be posted. Any member that doesn't post a tournament score will be disqualified from that tournament. Furthermore, you will receive a "Penalty score" from the handicap committee. Members that habitually fail to post scores are subject to receive steeper penalties. Penalties can include additional "penalty scores" and exclusion from tournaments.
USGA rules will govern all play unless otherwise established by our "Local Rules" and/or tournament committee. Rulebooks are readily available in the Pro Shop. Failure to comply with the Rules of Golf will result in penalties being assessed and/or disqualification from tournaments.
Slow play will not be tolerated. Players can and will receive warnings from the Rangers, Tournament committee and/or Pro Shop. Players habitually disregarding this policy can be excluded from future club tournaments. Starting this year players may be suspended from Men's club tournaments for being deemed a slow player.
