Match Play - Rules for Singles & Team
All Northfork Members who signed up and paid before the May 15th deadline are entered into Singles and Doubles Match Play.
Play from the lowest handicap. Example:
Actual HDCP Adjusted HDCP
Player A: 4 HDCP Player A: 0 HDCP
Player B: 10 HDCP Player B: 6 HDCP
Player C: 12 HDCP Player C: 8 HDCP
Player D: 26 HDCP Player D: 22 HDCP
The same goes for singles, Player A would be a 0 HDCP and Player B would get strokes on the hardest 6 holes.
Handicaps are 100% of the 12-Month Low Index to be used for this event. Exchange scorecards cards before you hit your fist shot. If the matches aren’t played by the dates posted, the handicaps may extend longer than 12-Month Low Index range.
All players under 60 will play from the Gold Rocks, ages 60-69 Black Rocks, and 70 + Combo Rocks.
Post Scores in handicap computer for all matches played.
The deadlines for each match are posted on the brackets. Please make every effort to play your matches by the deadline date to ensure that all matches can be completed in a timely manner. A player or players will be subject to disqualification by the committee after the match deadline date.
When the match is complete turn your scorecard into the pro shop signed by all players. We will post the winners on the brackets boards.
All play is governed by U.S.G.A. rules except where modified by local rules.
If you are playing your match in conjunction with a Wednesday event, it is very important that everyone hole out their putts whether it has been “conceded” by your opponent or not.
If you don’t have a handicap established you will play to a 0-handicap.
The singles match play will be played as a “Single” format and the doubles match play will be “Four Ball”.
