HANDICAP REGULATIONS FOR POSTING SCORES UNDER THE WORLD HANDICAP SYSTEM

1. Post your 18-hole and 9-hole scores for all eligible rounds, whether at Grover or away. (Playing alone is not eligible for handicap consideration.) Do so immediately after completing play if possible. Use the Handicap Score Book in the clubhouse, GHIN Mobile, and/or GHIN.com. Do not withhold unusually high or low scores, unless a high score is occasioned by a temporary medical condition. If you post your score online with the GHIN Mobile app or on GHIN.com it is not necessary to write it in the book. If you do, put a check mark next to your score so the handicap chairman knows he does not need to enter your score for you.

2. Enter a “C” (Competition) with your score if the round was played as part of a major tournament (Qualifiers, Club Championship, etc.) or a public tournament. Do not enter a "C" for regular weekly tournaments. If the senior/red tees were used, enter an “R” with your score. Members playing only nine holes (league or otherwise) should enter an "N" with their scores.

3. In reporting Away scores on the sheets provided for this purpose, include your name, the name of the course, the tees used, and both the rating and the slope from these tees. For new and/or out of town courses it is helpful if you also place

5

HANDICAP REGULATIONS FOR POSTING SCORES UNDER THE WORLD HANDICAP SYSTEM

your scorecard in the pocket of the handicap book. If you post your score online with the GHIN Mobile app or on GHIN.com, it is not necessary to write it in the book. If you do, put a check mark next to your score so the handicap chairman knows he does not need to enter your score for you.

4. Incomplete rounds: record as 18-hole scores if you have played at least 14 holes, as 9-hole scores if you played 7 holes. Take your score for each missing hole to be par plus the number of strokes to which your handicap would entitle you to. A player with a handicap of 15, for instance, would take a bogey on un-played holes rated 1 through 15, a par on holes rated 16-18. Holes played alone must be treated as un-played holes for handicap scoring.

5. Incomplete holes: if you have “picked up” for any purpose, your score on the hole for handicap purposes is that which you are most likely to have made if you finished the hole. If you picked up on the green from one foot away, for example, assume that you would need one putt; from 12 feet away, assume two putts.

6

HANDICAP REGULATIONS FOR POSTING SCORES UNDER THE WORLD HANDICAP SYSTEM

6. Maximum score per hole: For handicap purposes the maximum score you can record on any hole is “Net Double Bogey”. Net Double Bogey is calculated as Double Bogey for the hole plus the number of handicap strokes you are allowed on the hole. For example, a player with a handicap of 10 can post a maximum score of Double Bogey Plus 1 on holes rated 1 through 10 and Double Bogey on holes rated 11 through 18. Likewise, a player with a handicap of 22 can post a maximum score of Double Bogey Plus 2 on holes rated 1 through 4 and Double Bogey Plus 1 on holes rated 5 through 18. If you enter hole-by-hole scores in GHIN, it will automatically apply the “Net Double Bogey” maximum for you!

In tournament rounds, you should not apply the Net Double Bogey maximum hole score to your tournament card. Apply it only to your handicap score.

BGC TOURNAMENT RULES

The following rules apply to all Buffalo Golf Club Competitions

unless noted otherwise in the tournament information. Also refer

to our Local Playing Rules for exceptions to the USGA Rules of

Golf.

1. The handicap classes for all Tournaments and Sweeps are as

follows:

Class A: 0-9 Class B: 10-16 Class C: 17 and over

2. Weekly Competitions, including Sweeps, shall start on

Wednesday and end at 4:00pm on Sunday (or Monday for

designated holiday weekends)

3. The senior (red) tees may be used by members age 70 and up

in handicap tournaments under the following conditions. (1)

Members must inform the Tournament & Rules chairman before

playing their first tournament of the season that they intend to use

the senior/red tees. (2) Members must use their red tee handicap

when playing from the red tees. (3) After a member begins using

the senior/red tees, they may not change back to the white tees

until the following season. (4) Scratch tournaments must be

played from the white tees. (5) Members may play from either

white or senior/red tees during non-tournament rounds, but must

accurately record the tees used for handicap purposes.

4. Sign the tournament registration book or send the

information to GroverTournaments@gmail.com before you play

in any EVENT. If a player decides not to play a tournament after

signing the book, he must cross out his registration entry

BEFORE making a stroke on the first hole. Attested score cards

must be turned in on the day of entry.

8

BGC TOURNAMENT RULES

5. Competitions and Sweeps cards must be attested by another

member. In the case of a two- or three-man team EVENT, their

card must be attested by a club member who is not on the team.

In the case of four-man team events, all members in the foursome

must attest the card.

6. When a player is entered in two EVENTs for the same

round, separate cards, both properly identified and attested, are

required.

7. Current handicaps apply in all competitive EVENTs, even

though the competitions may have started during a previous

handicap period. The handicap book in the clubhouse is the

official source for handicaps and it overrides other handicaps

(club website, GHIN website etc.) unless otherwise posted.

8. A member may compete several times in the week’s sweeps,

but is eligible for only one of the prizes awarded.

9. In Certain Match Play Tournaments such as the President’s

Cup, Harvest Cup, and any others, matches must be contested

within the prescribed time or one or both players (teams) shall

forfeit the contest or be disqualified. Golfer (or team) with lower

qualifying score is responsible for arranging the match, although

their opponent(s) may arrange the match upon mutual agreement.

Circumstances preventing such match must be reported to the

Tournament Chairman, whose decision on default or

disqualification shall be final.

9

BGC TOURNAMENT RULES

10. In cases of ties in weekly competitions and Sweeps, the

winner shall be determined by matching cards beginning at the

number one handicap hole, then the number 2 handicap hole, and

proceeding until a winner is determined.

11. In Tournaments where members play directly against each

other, such as in the Club Championships, President’s Cup,

Harvest Cup, and others, and end up tied on the last hole, the

players will continue in a “sudden death” playoff, with handicap

strokes, if applicable, applied as in match play, hole by hole

unless noted otherwise in the tournament information.

12. Disqualification will result if: you sign up for the same

tournament more than once on different dates, dates that don’t

match (tournament book vs. scorecard), signing tournament book

after starting the round, failure to have the card attested by

another member, failure to record your tournament score in the

score book (or entered into GHIN), or playing from the wrong

tees (white vs. senior/red tees).

13. All matters of dispute shall be referred to the Tournament

and Rules Committee for final resolution.

14. The scores for all Competitions and Sweeps must be

submitted on BGC tournament cards (white/blue/gold-

tournaments; green-sweeps) in the correct box. Cards that are

deposited in the wrong box will be discarded. The “Net Double

Bogey” adjusted scores must be entered into the BGC handicap

book (or GHIN).

10

BGC TOURNAMENT RULES

15. Any member who qualifies for one of the Club’s major

tournaments or a public tournament where the fee is paid by the

Club, and withdraws less than 48 hours before the scheduled start

of the tournament or after the tournament is in progress, shall be

ineligible to compete in the same tournament the following year.

However, the tournament committee is authorized to waive this

penalty after reviewing the circumstances.

16. During the Club Championship competition, if a group

finishes the round more than two holes behind the group in front

and over 3 hours 45 minutes from their time of starting, all

players in the group are subject to a penalty of two strokes.

However, the tournament committee is authorized to waive this

penalty for individual players or the entire group after reviewing

the circumstances.

11

BGC LOCAL PLAYING RULES

The USGA Rules of Golf and the Grover Cleveland Course

Rules (as printed on the scorecard) are to be applied in

membership play, except as modified by the following rules.

Also refer to our Tournament Rules for additional rules in

tournament play.

1. When adverse conditions are declared and posted by the

Tournament and Rules Committee, you may lift, clean, and

replace your ball without penalty if it lies in your own fairway.

You must mark the spot before lifting the ball (see USGA Rule

14.1) and the ball must be replaced on its original spot (see

USGA Rule 14.2). If your ball lies in the general area, but not in

your own fairway, you may lift, clean, and drop your ball without

penalty. You must mark the spot before lifting the ball (see

USGA Rule 14.1) and the ball must be dropped as close to its

original spot as possible (See USGA Rule 14.3). Penalty for

playing ball from a wrong place in breach of Local Rule: Two

Strokes Under USGA Rule 14.7a. It is not permissible to take

relief under this rule when playing BGC major tournaments or

qualifiers for major tournaments.

2. Anywhere in the general area of the course, a player may

take relief if his ball is embedded in its own pitch-mark. Your

ball is embedded when it is in its own pitch-mark made as a

result of your previous stroke and where part of the ball is below

the level of the ground. Your ball does not necessarily have to

touch soil to be embedded (for example, grass and loose

impediments may be between your ball and the soil). (See USGA

Rule 16.3 for additional details and the procedure for taking

relief.)

3. Cracks in the ground in parts of the general area cut to

fairway height or less are ground under repair. The player may

12

take relief under Rule 16.1b, but interference does not exist if the

crack only interferes with the player’s stance.

4. At the player’s option, dung from geese may be treated

either as a loose impediment that may be removed under Rule

15.1, or ground under repair from which relief is allowed under

Rule 16.1.

5. There is no penalty if the ball or ball-marker is accidentally

moved on the putting green. See USGA Rule 13.1d for details.

6. After consultation with your playing partners, old hole

locations on the putting greens may be treated as Ground Under

Repair if they are above or below the surrounding area by the

thickness of an American quarter, and the problem cannot be

easily remediated. Please proceed under USGA Rule 16.1d.

7. Tractor or other equipment tracks, piles of grass or topsoil,

and other spots obviously damaged and to be repaired except in

penalty areas, may, after consultation and agreement with playing

members, be treated as “ground under repair.” Apply USGA

Rule 16.1.

8. If it is known or virtually certain that a player’s ball hit a

power line, telecommunications line, or pole supporting the lines

during the play of hole number 9, the stroke does not count. The

player must play a ball without penalty from where the previous

stroke was made (see Rule 14.6 for what to do). Penalty for

Playing Ball from a Wrong Place in Breach of Local Rule: Two

Strokes Under Rule 14.7a.

9. Relief may be granted on paved or gravel cart paths that

interfere with the stance, area of intended swing, or lie of the

ball. Apply USGA Rule 16.1 without penalty

13

10. If abnormal ground conditions in a sand bunker (including

temporary water) interfere with a player’s stance, intended swing

area, or lie of the ball, the player is entitled to relief as specified

in USGA Rule 16.1c. If rakes are unavailable for use in the

bunkers, abnormal ground conditions shall also include areas that

you deem to be unplayable because they haven’t been raked (e.g.,

a footprint or a disturbed area from previous play). Proceed under

USGA Rule 16.1c. Areas of the bunker overgrown with weeds

are not considered ground under repair. These areas are played

the same as playing your ball out of the rough. The definition of a

bunker states that “any growing or attached natural object inside

the edge of a prepared area (such as grass, bushes or trees)” are

not part of a bunker.

11. Stones and other loose impediments in a sand bunker may be

moved as specified in USGA Rule 12.2a. However, if moving the

loose impediment causes the ball to move, the player must take a

one stroke penalty and replace the ball as specified in USGA

Rule 15.1b.

12. Staked trees are to be considered no play zones: If a player’s

ball lies anywhere on the course other than in a penalty area and

it lies on or touches such a tree or its stakes, or such a tree or its

stakes interferes with the player’s stance or area of intended

swing, the player must take relief under Rule 16.1f. If the ball

lies in a penalty area, and interference to the player’s stance or

area of intended swing exists from such a tree or its stakes, the

player must take relief either with penalty under Rule 17.1e or

with free relief under Rule 17.1e(2). Penalty for Playing Ball

from a Wrong Place in Breach of Local Rule: Two Strokes Under

Rule 14.7a.

13. The areas of the course defined by red stakes are to be

played by the USGA Rules pertaining to red penalty areas. There

shall be no free drop for balls that come to rest in temporary

14

water or abnormal ground conditions within these penalty areas.

See USGA Rule 17 for details.

14. After consultation and agreement with playing members,

areas of the course where the grass has been allowed to grow to

six inches in length or more are to be played as red penalty areas,

whether or not they have been marked by red stakes. This

includes, but is not limited to the mound areas on holes 4, 9, and

10. It also includes areas outside the red stakes in marked

penalty areas where the grass has been allowed to grow. You

may take relief as defined in USGA Rule 17 “Penalty Areas”.

None of the unmarked areas shall be played as red penalty areas

if the grass has been mowed to less than six inches in length. In

order to take relief, it must be known or virtually certain that

your ball came to rest in the penalty area, otherwise it must be

played as a lost ball with stroke and distance relief as specified in

USGA Rule 17.1c. This is especially important to keep in mind

on the right side of hole 10 where the trees block your view of

the long grass on and around the mounds.

15. Any fences and road curbs surrounding the course, as well as

the entry road (Holes 10 and 11) and any area of the parking lot

are out-of-bounds. Any fences bordering the parking lot and

interior roads are to be treated as immovable obstructions, not

boundary markers.

16. Distance measuring devices, such as range finders and GPS

devices, are permitted. See USGA Rule 4.3 for details.

15

2019 USGA RULE CHANGES

1. There is no longer a penalty under the following

circumstances:

Accidentally moving your ball while looking for it

Accidentally moving your ball or ball marker on

the putting green

Your ball accidentally hits you, your equipment,

your caddie, the flagstick or a person attending

the flagstick

Accidental double-hit (or even triple-hit)

Hitting a flagstick that was left in the hole while

putting. (It is now allowable to putt with the

flagstick in the hole)

Touching your line of putt as long as you don’t

improve the conditions for your stroke

Moving loose impediments or grounding your club

in a penalty area (previously called a “hazard”)

unless it causes your ball to move

Moving a loose impediment (such as a stone or

twig) in a sand bunker unless it causes your ball

to move

2. You may repair damage on the putting green

before putting, including spike marks

3. You are only allowed three minutes to search for a

ball instead of five minutes

4. Ball is now dropped from knee height (instead of

shoulder height) when taking relief.

16

2019 USGA RULE CHANGES CONTINUED

5. You can take relief outside a bunker for an

unplayable ball (without going back to the original

spot) under penalty of TWO strokes

6. Playing “Ready golf” is encouraged

7. No need to announce that you will be marking

your ball and lifting it to identify it, check it for

damage or check to see if it is embedded

8. Measuring a relief area (1 or 2 club lengths) must

be done with the longest club in your bag

excluding the putter

9. After the ball is put in play, if it lies anywhere in

the teeing area (including on the tee), the player

may take any action that would be allowed in

preparing to put the ball in play for the hole. This

includes reteeing the ball, moving it to another

spot in the teeing area, or improving the teeing

area. See USGA Rule 6.2b for more details.

scroll down to a box entitled “The Rules Have

Changed.” There you will find 4 links that should help

WNYPLGA Tournament Information

The Buffalo Golf Club is a member of the

WNYPLGA. You are eligible to enter any/all of the

above tournaments you qualify for by age. SENIOR

tournaments are AGE 50+.

The WNYPLGA classifies golfers into

handicap flights using their USGA handicap index, not

their home course handicap. Each tournament has

different cut-offs for handicap flights. Be sure to

check the handicap information on the tournament

application and literature carefully when entering a

tournament.

The BGC will pay tournament entry fees for

members for WNYPLGA tournaments held at Grover

Cleveland and Elma Meadows. Members are

responsible for their own greens fees and cart fees

even if the application says that these fees are include

in the entry fee.

All tournaments are scratch. There are flights

within tournaments so even though you play scratch

you are not competing against all golfers, only those

within your flight. As an example, the Senior

Individual, depending on entries, may have flights for

ages 50-59, 60-69, 70 and older. Each flight has

prizes. Full entry forms can be found next to our

clubhouse bulletin board. If you have any questions

contact Mike Bass or John Barrett.
