QCLGA LEAGUE PLAY-DAY SCORES ARE POSTED BY THE TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE

BLIND NINES, NET O.N.E.S., LOW GROSS, LOW NET, ETC AND QUARIFIERS

If you are participating in a QCLGA event that requires a holed score (Blind Nines, NET O.N.E.S., Low Gross, Low Net, etc.) and Qualifiers, all holes must be played and completed.

You must record your “Gross” score for each hole played and completed. Golf Genius will make the proper adjustments to your maximum score based on “Net Double Bogey” (par +2 + handicap strokes).

If for some reason you cannot finish your round, the holes not completed will be scored by the Tournament Committee as net par (par + any handicap strokes you would have received on that hole).

BEST BALL PYP

If you elect not to finish your hole because your partner has a better “holed” score, you can pick up and record your “Most Likely Score”. “Most Likely Score” can be what your current score is plus an additional one stroke if within 5 feet of the hole, and two strokes if you are within 5-20 feet of the hole depending on position and difficulty not to exceed your “Net Double Bogey” (par + 2 + handicap strokes) limit. You must record this score with a clearly marked “X”, as the Tournament Committee will need to make the proper adjustments when scoring the event in Golf Genius.

MATCH PLAY

Match Play (including Individual Match Play and Four-Ball Match Play) is a form of play where a player (or players) plays directly against an opponent (or opponents) in a head-to-head match. You win a hole by completing it in the fewest number of strokes, and you win a match when you are winning by more holes than remain to be played.

There are other forms of Match Play where holes won or tied are awarded points and you are required to play all 18 holes.

You (or your opponent) may concede a stroke, a hole, or even match to each other. If your next stroke has been conceded, you are permitted to putt out, unless this will help your partner (for example, by showing them the line for their putt).

If you are unsure how to proceed, you and your opponent can agree on a course of action even if it is against the Rules, but you are not allowed to mutually agree to ignore a Rule or penalty. If you and your opponent don’t agree on how to proceed, you should do what you think is correct. Your opponent can then make a request for a ruling, which will later be decided by the Committee.

STROKE PLAY

Stroke Play (including Individual Stroke Play and Four-Ball Stroke Play) is a form of play where a player (or players) competes against all others in the competition by comparing a total score for one or more rounds. In regular, individual stroke play, you need to hole out on every hole. Each hole score for every hole in the round is added to calculate your final score.

If you are unsure how to proceed in stroke play, you can get help from a referee or play two balls if a referee is not readily available. If you play two balls, you must tell the Committee before you return your scorecard.
