Guidelines to be followed
Gentlemen:
As we are about to start, a reminder of what each of us needs to
do, in order to make this year’s league successful & safe:
·
League Information:
o
All league
information is posted on the Tan Tara Men’s Club website www.tantaramensclub.com.
o
The season long match
schedule, flight assignments, flight tee time schedule, & standings, are
all posted on this site.
o
Because of the
Covid-19 restrictions, no league information will be posted in the Tan Tara
club house.
o
We will all receive
weekly emails from our league administrator, that will report standings, &
any other league news & updates.
·
Tee Times:
o
Refer to the weekly
schedule, posted on the Men’s Club website, for opponents.
o
Refer to the weekly
flight tee time schedule, also posted on the Men’s Club website, to find out
whether you play on the front or back 9. Also, flights C, D, E, & F, will
have tee time changes, week to week.
o
You are required to
touch base with your scheduled match opponents, & between you, decide on a
tee time that works for both teams. Once you’ve decided on a time, someone from
the 4some is required to book the tee time, during your flight’s time frame, on
the online Tan Tara tee sheet.
o
Tee times can be booked
on the Tuesday before the scheduled Thursday matches, starting at 7:30 AM. Tee
times can be booked on the Tan Tara website, or thru the Tan Tara app.
o
If you and your opponents
cannot agree to a tee time for a given Thursday night match, you have the
ability to schedule your match anytime the two teams can get
together, starting on the Friday after the scheduled Thursday match, until the
following Tuesday. Each week you will have this opportunity to get your match
in.
·
Scoring:
o
All players must have
an established handicap.
o
Match scoring is
calculated by comparing the handicaps of all 4 players. All match handicaps
will be calculated off the difference between player with the lowest handicap
& the individual player handicaps & divided by 2, because we’re only
playing 9 holes.
o
Odd number
differences in handicaps are rounded up, if playing the front 9 (EX: 2.5 would
be 3), & rounded down (EX: 2.5 would be 2) if playing the back.
o
The scoring method is
2 man best ball, with a max. of 10 points to be had
per match. Each team cards only one set
of strokes per hole, with handicap. Low
number of strokes per team wins the hole & gets 1 point for the hole. Ties each get ½ point per hole. After all 9 holes are
played, whichever team won the majority of the 9 holes outright, they get 1 extra
point. If after 9 holes everything is
tied up, the score is 5 to 5. All match points need to add up to 10 (EX: 5-5,
6-4. 7.5-2.5, etc.).
·
Posting:
o
After your match,
send the results to either Jeff Ott, or Ray Soto.

·
Social Distancing:
o
Per the Covid-19
restrictions, we are not allowed to congregate around the teeing areas, the
putting green, the driving range, or the parking lot.
o
Please don’t show up
too early. 20 min. max. before your
match.
o
Please leave the
premises shortly after your match.
o
Maintain social
distancing during match play.
·
Carts:
o
One person per cart.
o
Walking is preferred;
if you can do so, to allow those that cannot walk, ride.
Unfortunately, this is the state we’re all in right this minute. We appreciate your cooperation and look
forward to getting the Thursday Night Men’s Leauge
finally started. Have fun and be patient.
If/when things change, we’ll get back to “normal”. Any questions, please direct them to either
Jeff Ott or Ray Soto.
