Club Necessities
* Familiarize yourself with WGC Rules and Guidelines.
* Pace of play is a priority - keep up with the group
ahead of you.
* Take a maximum of 10 shots gross on any given hole (mark the number of putts as 3).
* Never go back to the tee or original position; hit a provisional if original ball may be lost or out of bounds.
* One provisional ball allowed per hole.
* If you cannot find your original ball, drop another ball at the nearest point of the infraction, or incorporate lateral
hazard relief procedures, and add TWO shots to your score.
* Drop your cart partner off at their ball, go to your own ball and be prepared to hit.
* Use continuous putting; putt out all balls (no “gimmees”).
* Hit up on par 3’s to keep play moving.
* Park your carts BEHIND the green, regardless of where the pin is placed.
* Check your entry status for the event; make sure that your check has been received. All entries are based on RECEIPT of check, not postmark.
* Preliminary pairings are available 3-5 days before the tournament. However, always check the pairings just before the tournament for any last minute changes. If you miss your tee time, you may not be able to play (depending on the course) and you may not be eligible for any of the competitions.
* Check your handicap/index/flight prior to the tournament.
* Exchange scorecards with your playing partners and keep
your own score on another card.
* Check the website FAQ. Your questions may be answered there.
