<p>All - I am sure most of you are aware of these, but here is a
simple reminder on a couple of the rules.</p>
<p>Let's hope the weather holds tonight and Hit em well.</p>
<p>1. Score Cards - Each player is responsible for making sure his
or hers score is correct on the score card turned into the league
<br>
scorer. Players are asked to please check the score card
before leaving the course and if multiple score cards are kept
they should be <br>
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 <br>
should be resolved prior to the next hole if possible. If an
incorrect score is posted players are first encouraged to settle
the <br>
difference with their opponent and let the league scorer know the
agreed upon score. If agreement cannot be reached between the
players, it <br>
then goes to the team captains, and then to the Rules Committee to
resolve the difference (JLab rules). Note that "signing" an
incorrect <br>
card can lead to additional penalty points being applied or even
disqualification (USGA Rule 6-6 Scoring in Stroke Play).<br>
<br>
2. The "Gimmie" - Jefferson Lab golf rules allow a player
to concede his (or hers) opponent's next stroke at any time,
provided the <br>
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 <br>
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 <br>
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 <br>
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 <br>
"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 <br>
you to make every one of them.</p>
