It's up to each individual Pinseeker to find a sub if they're unable to attend that week. No penalty if you're unable to find a sub. For Match Play, here's how it'll work:

Stephen and Dan are matched up. Travis and niko are matched up. Travis no shows, Niko flips a tee, if it lands on Dan, he plays vs Dan to earn his weekly matchup points. If Dan beats Niko and Stephen, he only gets points against Stephen since that was his original matchup. If there’s a sub with a handicap, Niko plays that sub and if Niko beats that sub he earns his points for match play. If 2 people in the 4some doesn’t show up, then the 2 guys that show up play match play vs each other.

The City charges us 2 lump sum amounts.

NO. The ball needs to go into the hole.

OB is marked with white stakes, but it is also the boundary of the course. So it could also be marked by
a fence, wall or other structure. You measure the OB line by making a straight line from one white
stake to the next.

• When you hit a ball out of bounds, you must re-hit from where the pervious shot was played. You then
add a penalty shot and re-hit.

Example: 1st shot goes OB, you then retee and are now hitting your 3rd shot
from that same point.

o If you think your ball is OB, you can elect to hit a provisional ball. This helps speed up play. A provisional is essentially a backup in case you did in fact hit your ball OB. If you find your original ball in play then the provisional does not count towards your score.

• Another option for OB, which is local to Colorado, is to take your distance from where you believe your ball went OB, and take a drop just inside the fairway. You then add 2 penalty strokes.

Example: 1st shot goes OB, instead of reteeing you decide to take your distance. You drop in the fairway at about the same distance where the ball went OB and you are now hitting your 4th shot from there.

• When you simply cannot find your ball, or cannot confirm that your ball went into a hazard, then your
ball is considered lost and the penalty is the same as going OB. So you either need to re-hit from the
original spot with a one stroke penalty or take your distance and take a two stroke penalty.

Lateral Hazard (Red Stakes) – If you end up in a hazard marked with red stakes your options are:

• Play the ball as it lies without penalty
• Drop in a relief area (if there is one)
• Laterally from where the ball crossed into the hazard within two club lengths of where the ball
  entered.
• Go back on the line that it crossed the water and in line with the flag and drop anywhere on
  that line.

• Water Hazard (Yellow Stakes) – Same options as above except you cannot take the lateral drop option.

OB White markers on hole 7 can be ignored.

TBD on any other course specific rulings.

If your ball ends up in an area that is unplayable but you can find it, you are allowed to take a drop. You
will receive a one stroke penalty for the drop and there are several ways to drop the ball.

• The first option is to take a drop within two clubs of the spot as long as you aren’t closer to the
  hole. You can go in any direction as long as you don’t end up closer to the hole.
• The second option is to go find the line between where your ball ended up and where the flag is
  on the hole. You can then go back as far as you would like and take a drop. Again the drop
  cannot be closer to the hole.
• If the first two options won’t work then you can replay your previous shot.

You get free relief from any manmade objects that interfere with your stance, not necessarily your
swing. Manmade objects include cart paths, electrical boxes, sprinkler heads and any sort of
construction on the course.

• When taking relief, you find your nearest point of relief so that the object does not interfere
  with your stance and can take two club lengths from there but no closer to the hole.
• Note about sprinkler heads. If you are off the green and decide to putt and a sprinkler head is in
  your line that does not grant you relief. You only get relief if it interferes with your stance.

• With match play you are trying to beat your opponent on each hole based on your net score for that hole. If you win a hole than you are 1 up on your opponent.

How are strokes determined for match play?

• Only the golfer with the higher handicap will get strokes throughout the match.
• The player with the higher handicap gets whatever the handicap differential is between the two
  players. Example: Russel Wilson has a handicap of 1 and Aaron Rodgers has a handicap of 12.
  This means that Rodgers gets 11 shots over Wilson for 18 holes.
• The holes that a player gets shots on is dependent on what each hole’s handicap is. This can be
  checked on the scorecard, where you will see a row labeled as “men’s handicap.” The hole that
  has the #1 handicap is considered the hardest hole, and #18 would be the easiest hole. In the
  example listed above, Rodgers would get one shot over Wilson on the holes that have 1 – 11 handicap.
  o Every course will always have odd number handicap holes on the front 9 and even number
  handicap holes on the back.
• At the start of each round you will have to figure out which golfer gets shots and on which
  holes.
• Note that the holes you get strokes on does not matter for out tournament play, they only
  matter for match play.
