 Match Play Team Interclub

 2-1 General

Rules for Team Match Play:  In match play the game is played by holes.  The hole is won by the side that holes  its ball in the fewer strokes. In a handicap match, the lower net score wins the hole. The state of the match is expressed by the terms: so many “holes up” or “all square,” and so many “to play.” A side is “dormie” when it is as many holes up as there are holes remaining to be played.

2-2. Halved Hole
A hole is halved if each side holes out in the same number of strokes.

2-3. Winner of Match
A match is won when one side leads by a number of holes greater than the number remaining to be played. If there is a tie, the Committee may extend the stipulated round by as many holes as are required for a match to be won.

2-4. Concession of Match, Hole or Next Stroke
A player may concede a match at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that match. A player may concede a hole at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that hole. A player may concede his opponent’s next stroke at any time, provided the opponent’s ball is at rest. The opponent is considered to have holed out with his next stroke, and the ball may be removed by either side. A concession may not be declined or withdrawn.

Play the ball one club length in fairway; one putter head length on greens.

Holes 10 thru 18:

BEST BALL – Each player will play their own ball through the green. On completion of hole, place the gross scores on the score card.  Subtract the handicap (full handicap) strokes and place one best net score at the bottom of card. If you are out of the hole you may pick-up.
