The Association plays according to the rules of the USGA and the Kingwood Country

Club local rules. The Membership Chair will call each new member and explain the

HANDICAP PROCEDURES

Handicap Information: Second Vice-President

Handicaps are computed according to the uniform system as recommended by the

USGA.

18-Hole Handicap Limit 40

9-Hole Handicap Limit 25

Interclub Handicap Limit (18-hole) 36

HANDICAP INDEX

In order to be eligible for tournaments, Members must have an Established

Handicap Index. All major tournaments are flighted in equal numbers by handicap

index.

New members of the KWGA without an established handicap will establish a

Handicap Index as follows:

KWGA Temporary Handicap Index: five 18-Hole or five 9-Hole scores may be

turned in to the Pro Shop for computation of a Temporary Handicap Index. Your

scorecard should include the following: your name, your membership number, date,

your signature as attester, and the signature of an adult as scorer. After establishing

a temporary handicap, you are eligible for playday awards.

KWGA Established Index: based on ten 18-hole or ten 9-hole scores and computed

on the 5 lowest rounds of the 10 scores. Only those playday scores recorded after

an Established Index has been created will count toward year-end awards.

If you are new to KWGA and have a handicap Index from another club, please

provide the Pro Shop with the GHIN Number. If not, provide your last 20 scores and

the course and slope ratings for each score.

Dual Handicap Index: If you maintain a handicap at more than one course, you are

responsible for seeing that your scores are input into GHIN at all courses.

TEE TIME ON PLAYDAYS

Shotgun starts will be on all Tuesdays except for KWGA Member Guest, 2nd day of

Eclectic Tournament and Championship Tournament and any other unusual

circumstances. Shotgun starts are at 9:30 a.m. January and February, 9:00 a.m.

March through May, 8:30 a.m. June through August and 9:00 a.m. September

through December. All players must check in at the Check-In table at least 20

minutes before tee time and be at the tee box before tee time.

PLAYDAY CHECK-IN PROCEDURE:

The Check-in table will be open at least by 8 a.m. before tee time. Cart assignments

will be designated with player’s names on the carts. Scorecards, if made up, and

special rule sheets, if needed, will be given out at the check-in (registration) table. A

player may enter the Closest-to-the-pin and/or Chip-in (18 holers) contest at the

Check-in Table. THE CHECK-IN TABLE WILL BE CLOSED 20 MINUTES BEFORE

SHOTGUN TIME. The Playday Chair will assess a two-stroke penalty on the first

hole if you have not checked in before the Check-in Table closes.

SCORECARD PROCEDURES:

In the event that printed score cards are not provided, KWGA requests that the

competitor indicate only: Legible Name, Member Number, each hole score, each

hole putts, total gross score, handicap (for the course), and total net score, total

putts, flight number and the event score. Circle (or otherwise clearly identify) birdies

and indicate if breaking 80, 90 or 100 (50 for 9-Holers) for the first time. The

Competitor must sign (attest) and date scorecard after the scorer, a fellow

competitor has signed your card. After play, turn in completed scorecard for the

stipulated round as well as x’d out or withdrawn scorecards to Playday Chair or

designated spot after play. All playday scorecards must be turned in. Note: Chip-ins

(18 holers) are noted and attested on a list at the Check-In Table in the locker room

immediately following play.

DISCONTINUANCE OF PLAY, RESUMPTION OF PLAY, AND CANCELLATION

OF PLAY PROCEDURES AS IT APPLIES TO KWGA PLAYDAYS:

Decisions about Suspension, Resumption and Cancellation of Play will be made by

and communicated by the KWGA Committee.

The Committee will be the First Vice President & Playday Chairman, Fourth Vice

President & 9 Hole Chairman and the Head Pro(s) in charge.

An uncancelled Playday and/or Tournament will be deemed a valid playday if 8 or

more players for 18 Holers play a stipulated round that day on the same designated

course.

Players must turn in completed scorecards to the Playday Chairman or 9 Hole

Chairman or designated spot.

When play is suspended, usually due to weather, competitors are to return to the

clubhouse when it is safe to do so, report to the committee and await a decision by

the Committee as to resume play or if play is cancelled. Players choosing not to

continue play must turn in their scorecards.

A stipulated round (18 holes or 9 holes) must be played for a player to receive

KWGA course credit, ringer scores, and event winnings. Only USGA handicap

credit can be tabulated if only 13 or more holes (18 Holers) or only 7 or more holes

(9 Holers) are completed. In this circumstance, scorecards are to be turned in to the

Playday Chairman or 9 Hole Chairman or designated spot and the Playday

Chairman will see that the cards are input for handicap credit.

There is no hard-and-fast rule as to when to cancel a round. The proper action

depends on the circumstances in each case and must be left to the judgment of the

Committee.

The KWGA Committee will determine when play is cancelled.

If it is likely a playday is cancelled prior to play members may call the Pro Shop, or

the 1st or 4th Vice President to validate. They may also check their email for a

message before coming to the Check-in table.

However, if they find no other notice that play is cancelled they should follow normal

Check- in procedures. If play is suspended and then cancelled before everyone has

completed a stipulated round, then the playday is cancelled and no KWGA course

credit, ringers or event winnings will be awarded.

9 Hole Playday requirements are as follows:

Must have a minimum of 4 players for money prize

Must have a minimum of 2 players for ringers

If there are 5 or more players can pay out winner for low putts. If there are 8 or more

players can pay 2 places and low putts

SATURDAY PLAYDAY

To qualify for a pay-off of a gift certificate, there must be a minimum of four (4)

eligible players. To qualify for year-end awards, there must be two (2) eligible

players.

RINGERS

The Ringer Chair will post scores in the ringer file. The Ringer Chair keeps a record

of the best score you have on each hole you play for the year. She also tracks all

birdies. Birdies should be circled or otherwise clearly marked on your scorecard.

RULES

The USGA rules govern all play. In addition, local committee rules may apply. A

current rules book should be obtained at your own expense unless it is provided at

the annual rules clinic. Rules sheets will be distributed for all major tournaments. If

a question arises while playing, play a second ball and discuss it with the Head Pro

and the Rules Committee after play. The Head Pro and Rules Committee will make

a decision based upon this request.

SPECIAL RULES

18th HOLE OF ISLAND COURSE (18 and 9 Holers) - On a playday, but NOT in

major or minor tournaments, you may pick up at any time BEFORE YOUR BALL IS

ON THE GREEN and mark your score with a 12 and 4 putts. You may use the

special “DROP ZONE” to the right of the bridge, if in attempting to land on the 18th

green, YOUR BALL HAS HIT LAND AND DROPPED BACK INTO THE WATER OR

IF YOU HAVE FLOWN THE GREEN AND LANDED IN THE WATER ON THE

OTHER SIDE. This does not include shots hitting the bulkhead and dropping in the

water, as the bulkhead is part of the hazard. A one-stroke penalty must be taken if

you use the drop zone.

10th HOLE OF THE MARSH COURSE (18 and 9 Holers) - On playday, but not in

tournaments, you may hit a provisional ball if you cannot tell if your ball is in the

hazard.

10th HOLE OF THE MARSH COURSE (9 Holers Only) On a playday, but NOT in

tournaments, you must hit TWO balls in the marsh before it can be walked over, plus

take an additional penalty stroke. Example: if you were in the marsh on 2, out on 3,

in on 4, out on 5, walking over on 6, you would be hitting 7 (dropping within 2 club

lengths from the marsh). The player would be eligible to be a winner for that

playday.

9 Holers only - On playdays, but NOT in tournaments, a 9 Hole player has the

OPTION to pick up her ball at anytime on any hole and mark her score with a 12,

taking 4 putts for that hole. The round will count for year-end course requirements,

putts and ringers. If done on Island 18 or Marsh 10 the player is eligible to be a

winner for that playday. On any hole other than Island 18 or Marsh 10 the player is

not eligible to be a winner for that playday.

KWGA playday procedures will apply unless otherwise specified.

PRIZES

Weekly winners are posted on the KWGA Website. Event and Low Putts winners

receive $4 Pro Shop credit. One award is given for every 4 players on playdays .

Prizes for Major Tournaments are awarded at the end of the tournament.

PLAYDAY NOTE (18 Holers): You may pick up your ball at any time on a

PLAYDAY, marking your scorecard for that hole with an “X”. At that time, you are

disqualified from the event and your score will not count toward Ringers or Year End

Awards. Please turn your card in for handicap posting

CLOSEST TO THE PIN

CHIP-IN POT (18 hole only)

one attesting signature from her group. The sheet will be posted on the bulletin

board in the ladies locker room. It will be removed by the following day and the

winnings distributed at the next playday. Each person entered will get an equal

share of the pot for each CHIP-IN. For example, if a person chips in twice, she will

get two equal shares of the pot with the other winners.

The pot will carry over from week to week until a CHIP-IN occurs. When a carryover

pot is broken by a CHIP-IN, the person(s) chipping in will share as above, whether

she entered on the carryover weeks or just that day. Guests are not allowed to

participate.
