(IN PLACE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE):

Updated: 08/01/22

Temporary Local Rules override Standard Local Rules if there is a conflict.

RULE T1: SCORING, MISCORE AND SCORECARDS

• Select the player you will mark, enter your score as marker
  • Marker (phone owner) is to sign at end of round. Verbal confirmation of scores must still occur before being submitted.
  • DO NOT PASS YOUR PHONE TO ANOTHER PLAYER TO SIGN.
  • Once scores are submitted via app, they are considered final.
  • If there is a player/s in your group without the app, please mark their score. (Any additional scores of another player in the group can also be submitted after submitting first scores.) The markers score can be retrieved and entered into MiClub as a valid score.
    • If you have 3-4 players in your group, only 2 players have the app. The 2 app users score the 1-2 non-app users. Every markers score is retrievable for competition and handicapping.
  • If you are a marker or player being scored with the app, you do not need to email a physical scorecard. Once submitted via app, your scores are recorded in system for retrieval and manual entry. Exception: Putting Scores, see scorecards

Scorecards – Only when MiScore is not available in your group:

Use of Scorecards is highly discouraged. This option is being implemented for members who genuinely cannot be scored by the app. See above.

• If a player removes a flagstick, a 1 shot penalty will apply to that player for each individual offense.

• Preferred lies are now available in all bunkers.
  If the preferred lie option is taken in bunkers:
  • Lift your ball, smooth bunker with your foot or club and place your ball as closely as possible to its original position.
