Senior A-Team

Event Guidelines

Matches may begin as early as 11:00 a.m. or as late as 12:00 noon, provided that the
visiting team is notified at least 72 hours in advance. Team captains are responsible for
coordinating starting times for the matches. The captain of the team unable to start at
11:30 a.m. is responsible for contacting the captain of the opposing team and mutually
agreeing to the time change.

Rules: USGA Four Ball Match Play rules apply (Rule 23). Host professionals will
provide local rules. The host professional will make any necessary rulings and will have
the final word. Team captains are responsible for making their professionals aware of this
task.

Play is recommended to be from no longer than 6,500 yards.

Format: An eight member team plays two two-man matches at home and two two-man
matches away. Each team competes in a better ball format (four-ball competition) at
each club. One point is awarded (each) for winning the front nine, back nine and
eighteen holes. One-half point is awarded (each) for a tie. The total number of points
possible from a two-man team is three. The total number of points possible for the entire
eight man team is 12.

Measuring Devices
The use of distance measuring devices, including GPS-based systems and laser rangefinders is allowed. This applies to devices that measure distance only, not any other conditions that might affect a player’s play (e.g. wind or gradient). If, during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g. gradient, wind speed, temperature, etc.), the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional functions are actually used.

Dress Code
Participants must adhere to the host club dress code.

Additional guidelines may be designated on the entry form(s). For any discrepancies between the guidelines listed there and those designated on the entry form, the entry form shall take precedence.
