B&B Membership Booklet

• On a lost ball or a ball hit out of bounds, declare and play a provisional ball. If your original ball is then found, you must play the original ball and pick up the provisional ball (no penalty). If your original ball is not found, you must take a 1 stroke penalty. You will then be lying two strokes before hitting your provisional ball with your third stroke. Search time for a lost ball is 3 minutes. If a ball is accidentally moved during a search, you may move it back to its original position with no penalty.
• Free relief (no penalty) is given for an embedded ball anywhere on the course.
• If your ball unintentionally hits a player or equipment, there is no penalty.
• If your ball moves on the green after being marked, you may replace it with no penalty. There is also no penalty for a double hit ball.
• Loose impediments can be removed from anywhere on the course, including hazards.
• You may choose to drop a ball out of a bunker by placing it behind the bunker and incurring a two-stroke penalty.
• Putting with the flagstick in the hole is permitted. A ball that is wedged against the flagstick and the side of the hole is deemed holed. A ball that strikes the flagstick and bounces off onto the green is NOT deemed holed. Putt this ball from where it lies.
• Hitting the wrong ball incurs a 2 stroke penalty. Changing balls mid-hole (unless this ball is lost or unfit for play) incurs a two-stroke penalty

Whiffs and misses are considered strokes and are to be counted.

Maximum strokes allowed per hole is 11 and is recorded as an 11/3.

Strokes are counted as putts ONLY if struck while ON the green. If an errant putt leaves  the green and you use your putter to return it to the green, it is not considered a putt. Only strokes made when the ball is on the green are considered putts.

Keep track of shots which go into sand traps. Put $ .25 into the Piggy for each sand trap your ball lands in. The Piggy is located on the B&B scoring table.

One dated, signed, and attested scorecard must be turned in to the B&B table for each foursome. The scorecard must include the complete last name and first name or initial of each golfer. It must include each golfer's total score on the hole as well as the number of putts.

Record your scores on the Google Sheets score sheet prior to Sunday evening. Be certain to include all putts, pars, chip-ins, and birdies (found at the far right of the spreadsheet). Failure to do so may result in lack of credit (attendance, events, pars-and-better points) for that day's round of golf.

• Move in a direct line to your ball. As you are moving, plan your club selection.
• Take your cart with you for selection changes (but be decisive!).
• Limit practice swings to one.
• Use golf as an aerobic exercise, not a leisurely walk.
• Chatting is a part of golf, but not the reason you are here.
• Help each other spot balls.
• Play ready golf on all parts of the course.
• Leave the putting green as soon as all players in your group have putted out. If your group is falling behind, send the first two in the hole on to the next tee to get started there while the last two finish putting.
• Mark your scorecards at the next tee box.
