Travel Day

Day 1: Monday, March 23 (Stonebridge)

Team Game — Split Format (No Pops)

No handicaps; all play is gross. One result for the full 18 holes: 1 Point for the winning team, ½ Point if tied (combined gross score for 18 holes).

Two Man Teams = TEAMS 1 vs 2, AND Teams 3 vs 4. Shotgun start at 10:00 AM.

HOLES 1–9: SCRAMBLE

  • Each player drives, hitting from the same spot through the hole.
  • Write down your best score.
  • Remember to change formats from the front side to the back side because we are a shotgun start starting at 10am.

HOLES 10–18: TRUE ALTERNATE SHOT

  • On hole 10 choose a player to drive on 10, alternating shots all the way to 18.
  • If you putt out on a hole, then the other player MUST DRIVE on the next hole.
  • Remember, when getting to hole 18, and you are going to the front side to play a scramble — WRITE DOWN somewhere who putted out on 18 so you will remember who drives on 10.
  • The first hole you play on alternate shot — is when you begin alternate shot format.
  • Example: Your match begins on hole 17, that is where your teams begin alternate shot choosing one person to drive, ALTERNATING that ball between the two players all the way through hole 18. After finishing hole 18, make a note on who putted out. When you return to hole 10 pick up where you left off remembering who putted out on 18, the opposite team member now must drive on HOLE 10.

Matchups: Team 1 vs Team 2 / Team 3 vs Team 4. Lodging: Bally's Resort & Casino

📜 Rules & Regulations 📜

General Play: Preferred Lies

BUMPING IS IN EFFECT.

Players are permitted to bump the ball within one foot (12 inches) of where it originally lay, not nearer the hole, using the clubhead.

USGA Model Local Rule E-3 (Preferred Lies). The Committee may adopt other relief distances.

RESTRICTIONS:
  • ❌ You cannot improve your lie (e.g., you cannot bump the ball from the rough into the fairway).
  • ❌ You cannot bump the ball if it is in a hazard or penalty area.
CLARIFICATIONS (Line of Play & Lie):
  • Maintain the "Line of Play": You may move the ball within one foot (12 inches) of where it lay, not nearer the hole, but not in any direction that creates a clear line of sight to the hole if one didn't exist previously.
  • Like-to-Like Condition (same area of the course): If the ball is in the rough, it stays in the rough. If it's behind a bush, it stays behind the bush (or at least keeps the bush between the ball and the target).
Bumping Rule

Day 1: Team — Split Format (Scramble / Alt Shot)

No handicaps (gross). Front 9: 2-Man Scramble. Back 9: 2-Man Alternate Shot. One result for all 18 holes: 1 Point for winning team, ½ Point if tied. Gimmies are allowed and encouraged for pace of play.

Team Day 1

Day 2: 2-Man Best Ball NET (Medal Play — Not Match Play)

Format: Medal play (low team net score wins). Not match play.

Handicaps are the regular course handicap as designated on the course handicap sheet.

Gimmies are allowed and encouraged for pace. Full 18-hole net scores must be recorded for each player; low net per hole counts for the team.

Day 2 Best Ball

Day 3: Singles Matches (Hybrid Format)

Format: Singles Match Play AND Individual Low Net Stroke Play.

⚠️ CRITICAL: You MUST putt everything out on Day 3. No concessions allowed. We need a valid 18-hole score for the Net Tournament.

🏆 AWARD ALERT: "Missed Putt from the Shortest Distance Award"
No Gimmies

Robson Ranch OB Rule

Out of Bounds (OB)

Goal: Avoid "The Walk of Shame" and speed up play.

Penalty: 2 Strokes.

Procedure: If you hit your ball Out of Bounds, you do NOT need to return to the tee. Instead, place your ball in the fairway adjacent to where it went out of bounds.

(This simulates hitting a 3rd shot from the tee and landing it in the fairway. You are now lying 3, hitting your 4th shot).

OB Rule

Local Rule: The "Lost but Found" Option

To be used when a ball is lost but agreed by the group NOT to be Out of Bounds.

Purpose: To speed up play when a ball is clearly in play but cannot be located (e.g., buried in deep rough or leaves).

"If a player’s ball is lost and the group agrees it is not Out of Bounds, the player may opt to treat the lost ball as an Unplayable Lie rather than taking Stroke and Distance."

  • Agreement: The group must agree on the estimated vicinity where the ball was lost.
  • Penalty: One (1) Stroke.
  • Procedure: Drop within two club-lengths of the estimated spot (no closer to the hole).
  • Result: You lie 2 (shot + penalty) and are hitting your 3rd shot.

Note: If the group believes the ball may be Out of Bounds, this rule does NOT apply. You must proceed under standard OB rules (2 stroke penalty, drop in fairway).
