All   - I am sure most of you are aware of these, but here is a simple 
reminder on a couple of the rules.

Let's hope the weather holds tonight and Hit em well.

1.  Score Cards -  Each player is responsible for making sure his or 
hers score is correct on the score card turned into the league
scorer.    Players are asked to please check the score card before  
leaving the course and if multiple score cards are kept they should be
compared for agreement.   It is best to make sure the score on each 
hole  is known by all and agreed too after each hole.  Any disagreements
should be resolved prior to the next hole if possible.    If an 
incorrect score is posted players are first encouraged to settle the
difference with their opponent and let the league scorer know the agreed 
upon score.   If agreement cannot be reached between the players, it
then goes to the team captains, and then to the Rules Committee to 
resolve the difference (JLab rules).   Note that "signing" an incorrect
card can lead to additional penalty points being applied or even 
disqualification   (USGA Rule 6-6 Scoring in Stroke Play).

2.   The "Gimmie"   -    Jefferson Lab golf rules allow a player to 
concede his (or hers) opponent's next stroke at any time, provided the
ball is at rest.   This is part of Match play and covered in the rules 
of golf (USGA Rule 2- Match Play).   Not conceding a putt can be used as
strategy and can been seen as a way to get into an opponents head.   
Conceding a putt acknowledges your opponents skill and  is also a way of
speeding up play, which will improve the enjoyment of all.   A rule of 
thumb for this is "in the grip", though not all putters are created
equal.    So pay attention to where your opponents ball comes to rest 
and if it is your intent, please let them know that the next stroke is a
"gimmie" in a timely fashion.    Conversely, do not assume your putt is 
good until it is given by your opponent.  Your opponent may well require
you to make every one of them.
