EXCEPTIONS

      1. THE COMMITTEE will grant the use of “Artificial Devices” for the purpose of measuring distance. No calculations as to wind or elevation will be allowed.
      2. THE COMMITTEE will allow Model E-5 USGA Alternative to Stroke and Distance for Lost Ball or Ball Out of Bounds 2 Stroke Penalty.
      3.  The USGA recommends settling ties with a playoff of at least three holes for stroke play. If the competition is still tied, a hole-by-hole (sudden death) playoff may be used. If a play-off of any type is not feasible, matching score cards is recommended. The method of matching cards should be announced in advance and should also provide what will happen if this procedure does not produce a winner. An acceptable method of matching cards is to determine the winner on the basis of the best score for the last nine holes. If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, determine the winner on the basis of the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 18th hole.

Gross score for last 9 holes minus one-half handicap; if still tied continue

Gross score for last 6 holes minus one-third handicap;

Gross score for last 3 holes minus one-sixth handicap;

Gross score for 18th hole minus one-eighteenth handicap

Example:

Assume Dan has a 10 handicap and Joe a 14 handicap.

Last 9 holes
Dan 39 – (10 / 2) = 39 – 5 = 34
Joe 41 – (14 / 2) = 41 – 7 = 34
Still tied…

Last 6 holes
Dan 27 – (10 / 3) = 27- 3.3 = 27 – 3 = 24
Joe 29 – (14/3) = 29 – 4.7 = 29 – 5 = 24
Still tied…

Last 3 holes
Dan 12 – (10/6) = 12 – 1.7 = 12 – 2 = 10
Joe 14- (14/6) = 14 – 2.3 = 14 – 2 = 12
Dan WINS!
