1. In order for any nine-hole or eighteen-hole
round to be official, you must play with at least one other member of the
RMLGA. You will be given a roster (usually available end of May) of league
members. Please do not list guests on scorecards turned in for tournament
play.
2. All weekly nine-hole and eighteen-hole tournaments must be played between
course opening on Thursdays and course closing on Sundays. All eighteen-hole
tourneys must be completed on the same day.
3. Tournaments that are run weekly (see enclosed
listing of the 2007tournament schedule), have an additional $5 tournament
fee in addition to greens fee.
This additional $5 tournament fee is used for weekly prizes and winners
will receive Pro Shop prize credits (CHITS). These CHITS are honored thru
the end
of November for each season in which they are won. You must sign up and
pay in the Pro Shop prior to playing your tournament round. (The
sign-up books/sheets are located by the computer. There are separate
books for the nine- and eighteen-hole
rounds.)
4. You may choose which weekly tournaments you
want to participate in—it
is not mandatory to play in a tournament. However, if you sign up for a
weekend tee time (between hours of approximately 9:30am-11:00am) that is
reserved for
the ladies league, you are expected to participate in league tournament
for that week by paying the $5 tournament fee. These tee times are reserved
for
our league weekend play and are reserved for the benefit of the ladies
league tournament play. Note: It is a course requirement that
players who reserve these league weekend tee times are required to participate
in tournament
play
by paying the $5 tourney fee that goes towards that week’s prizes.
5. Any time you play a USGA format round, enter your individual score into
the Pro Shop computer to establish your handicap. If you don’t
know how to input your scores into the computer, ask one of the Pro Shop
staff
for assistance. Note: playing a scramble format is not a USGA
format round and you cannot post a score into the computer for that scramble
round.
6. For nine-hole tournaments, you have the option
of playing either the front- or the back-nine holes. For weekend play, tee
times are taken for the front-nine
holes only. No tee times are taken for the back-nine holes. The back nine
is open to play based on availability. Always check the back-nine availability
with Pro Shop prior to play.
7. Weekly scorecards that are turned in must include
full names of all members playing in the tournament and must be signed
and attested with date. Upon completion
of play, please put scorecards in the envelope inside the respective sign-up
book located by the computer.
8. In order to participate in the Club Championship,
you must play a minimum of five (5) tournaments. Both 9- and 18- hole tournaments
count towards this
requirement.
9. In order to participate in the Pro’s
Trophy tournament, you must play a minimum of five (5) tournaments. Both
9- and 18-hole tournaments count towards this requirement.
10. Our league is a handicap league. Please use
the USGA Handicap System Chart (shown below) to determine your adjusted
score (if applicable) when entering
a 9- or 18-hole score into the computer for handicap.
If you don’t have an established handicap,
this chart would not apply until your handicap is established.
• For weekly tournament scorecards (turned
in for tournament):
DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SCORES ON YOUR SCORECARDS. The handicap committee for
tournaments will use actual scores (not adjusted scores) for
awarding weekly prizes.
• When entering a 9- or 18-hole score into
the computer, use the USGA Handicap System Chart (shown below):
Before entering any scores into the computer, all scores should be adjusted
according to USGA Handicap System Chart below.
NOTE: This chart will also be posted on the bulletin board and by the computer.
Examples (Section 10-5
of the USGA Handicap System manual):
• A player with a nine-hole course handicap of twelve (12), must adjust
to a maximum number of eight (8) the score that can be posted in the
computer for
any hole regardless of par.
• A player with an eighteen-hole course handicap of thirty (30), must adjust
to a maximum number of nine (9) the score that can be posted in the
computer for any hole regardless of par.
11. If you choose to play 18 consecutive holes
and are only playing in the 9-hole tournament, you must choose which nine
you are playing for the tournament prior to beginning play. Before play,
please state your decision in the sign-up book next to where you sign your
name. Note: If you do not state what nine prior to
play, default will be the front nine.
12. Our league has a maximum stroke policy for
pace of play. The maximum number of strokes you may take per hole are 10.
If you reach 10 prior to putting the ball into the cup and you are slowing
up play, you must pick up your ball and mark a 10 for the hole. Note:
The only exceptions are for the Club Championship and Pro’s
Trophy tournaments. In each of these tournaments, you must play your ball
all the way into the hole regardless of the stroke count.
13. No fivesomes allowed.
14. If after signing up for a league weekend tee
time, a member is unable to fulfill the commitment to play, the Pro Shop MUST
BE NOTIFIED by 6pm on Thursday. If you
do not notify the Pro Shop by 6pm Thursday, you will be charged a no-show
fee of $5 (money goes to the league). Those who become habitual
offenders (on
third offense), will be assessed the cost of the greens fee (money
goes to the course).
Member will be able to participate in future tournaments only upon payment
of any assessed penalty(s).
15. No duplicate winners allowed for the weekly
9- and 18-hole tournaments. You may choose to participate in both the 9-
and 18-hole weekly tournament, but cannot collect prizes from both.
16. Weekly tournament scores must
be posted, either in person on the pro shop computer or via the internet
at ghin.com, no later than noon on the Tuesday following the respective
weekly tournament. If a member fails to post her weekly tourney score before
the deadline, she will be disqualified from that week’s competition.

2007 Tournament Format Explanations
Scramble: Everyone tees off each tee. All players then proceed to the best drive. From
the best drive, everyone hits again and proceeds to the next best
lie so forth and so on until the ball is in the cup. The
gross score of the group is put on the score card.
**please
note: scramble scores are not to be entered into the computer.
Individual Gross/Net: Best gross
scores and best net scores are awarded. Gross
scores are your scores just as they are…..if you get an 8 on hole number one, then an 8 is used for your gross scoring. Net
scores are your gross scores minus your handicap.
Handicaps
make the playing field fair for all ability levels of
golfers.
**the
Callaway scoring system will be used for gross/net tourneys for players
who do not yet have established handicaps.
2 Woman Best Ball Gross: Each lady plays their
own ball from tee to green. Mark
both scores for each hole on the card so that each lady may enter their
individual total scores into the computer for their handicap, but for
this tournament the best gross score will be used for awarding
prizes.
Blind Partner-Gross: The handicap committee will randomly place
two scores together for awarding prizes.
**Gross & Net
Tourney uses your handicap
Best Five Holes: (for 9-hole tourneys) Your 5 best gross
scores are used for scoring.
Best 14 Holes: (for 18 hole tourneys) Your 14 best gross
scores are used for scoring.
Pick Your Partner Gross/Net: Pick your partner and mark both scores for each hole. The best gross scores and the best net scores will be used for awarding prizes.
Points
Tourney: Points are awarded gross and net for eagles,
birdies, par and bogie.
Odd
Holes Plus Total Putts: Mark down scores for each hole so you can enter
your score into the computer. Odd hole gross scores will be used for scoring then total putts
from all holes will be added. Please
mark each hole on card as such: total
score from tee to cup over total putts, i.e. hole #1
= 8 / 3
**In 9-hole tourney, if playing
back 9, hole number 14 is included in total score to equal par on front
odd holes.

hole. Holes that start with

front 9, hole number 8 is included in total score to equal par on
back T&S holes.
Even
Holes Plus Total Putts: Mark down scores for each hole so you can
enter your score into the computer. Even hole gross scores will be used for scoring then total putts
from all holes will be added. Please
mark each hole on card as such: total

Rolling Meadows Ladies Golf Association is proud to be a member
of The Southern New England Women’s Golf Association. Our
Ladies Association members have the opportunity to participate
in the SNEWGA tournaments for
a $10 yearly membership fee.
The Southern New England Women's Golf Association, organized in 1956, exists
for the promotion of golf for women within the state of Connecticut and
neighboring states. Its membership is open to women's associations from
public, semi-private and private golf clubs.
At the present time there are 34 clubs in SNEWGA divided into four regions.
The following clubs are members: Blackledge, East Hartford, Lyman Orchards,
Portland, Shennecossett, Skungamaug, Tallwood, Cedar Knob, Blue Fox Run,
, Farmingbury Hills, Indian Hill, Keney Links, Rockledge, Simsbury Farms,
Stanley, Torrington, Timberlin, 3: Candlewood Valley, East Mountain, Grassy
Hill, Hunter, Laurel View, Orange Hills, Pequabuck, Richter Park, Fairchild

Membership dues for a club are $30 per year and $10 per individual. Each
club must host an invitational or major tournament every other year. We
offer six major tournaments (Seniors, Super Seniors/Legends, Memorial,
Pro-Lady, SNEWGA Championships, and Team Day) and at least 10 invitational
tournaments. Also held are Round Robin and Fall Cup Matches at clubs throughout
the state. The SNEWGA Cup, a two-day event modeled after the Ryder Cup/Solheim
Cup, is held in the fall.
The tournament schedule is posted on our website along with results and
