2025 Season
League rules have been submitted and voted on
With that being said, as we prepare for next season, this is the place to express your “appreciation” for the new rules.

Time to let the league hear your thoughts on the new 2025 rules changes, new season and anything else.

Let the fun begin

I would like to start a discussion on creating an extra set of tees for individuals 80 and over, or have a physical handicap, or have a temporary injury but still want to play.
The use of the next set of tees forward of the current senior’s set of tees will be verified by the execute committee.

I agree with Bob

Proposed Rule Change:
If a group or individual chooses to quit or leave during an outing, and more than one group continues to play, the quitting individual/group(s) will still be held responsible for any bets they were signed up for at the start of the outing. Quitting does not exempt an individual/group from their betting obligations.

Whoever added a proposed Rule change put your name to it, so we know who has their panties in an uproar. First there isn’t a rule for betting obligations. If a player or group can’t finish due to weather, they should not have to pay for something they can’t win. If a player quits because he has a bad day is a whole other story. Stableford is a prime example. If you finish the front nine you are obligated for that. If you can’t finish the back nine you don’t have to pay for the back nine, overall and low net, so we are talking about $1. If you are playing cuts break it down into 6 holes for $1. Whenever you complete 6 holes you owe $1. For CTP you owe $1 for every par 3 you play. That is the only fair way to handle sick or bad weather. If you quit because of a bad day you are obligated for everything.

Would like to introduce for consideration regarding sand traps. If trap is not in “expected” condition (rut, footprint, or “crusty” from recent rain), golfers lift, rake, and replace his ball.

Would like to eliminate the “root rule”. If you have problem with the location of the ball, you may take an unplayable lie with appropriate penalties.

I would like to revise my Blog for super seniors set of tees, with will be one set forward of the senior’s tees. To qualify the age should be 75 years instead of the stated 80, or a medical condition. We need to talk about this quite a bit. I would like to see some responses.

I can’t support eliminating the sand footprint and tree root rules. The reality is that our league does not play on PGA‑conditioned courses. We constantly encounter bunkers that aren’t raked, as well as roughs and even portions of fairways where tree roots directly impact swings and risk damaging clubs.
The argument of “don’t hit there” doesn’t really apply here — there are plenty of situations where ending up in a sand trap can be the smarter play, or where a slightly fluffier lie in the rough is a good outcome. In those cases, players shouldn’t be unfairly penalized because of maintenance issues or hazards unlike what professionals face in competition.

I would like implement the relaxed rules of golf which is backed by the PGA while removing duplicate rules already in place.
Overview of Relaxed Rules
The Golf Channel has promoted a series of relaxed rules designed to make golf more enjoyable and less stressful for casual players. Here are the key rules that golfers can follow to enhance their experience on the course:
1. Maximum Score: Players should pick up their ball and stop keeping score once they reach double par (e.g., 6 on a par 3, 8 on a par 4, and 10 on a par 5). This helps speed up play and reduces frustration for beginners.
2. Penalties: All penalties are simplified to one stroke, regardless of the situation (e.g., out of bounds, water hazards, lost balls). Players can drop a ball near where the original was lost and continue playing.
3. Search Time: Players are allowed two minutes to search for a lost ball. If it is not found within that time, they should proceed under the one-stroke penalty rule.
4. Unfortunate Lies: With the consent of playing partners, players can drop their balls out of divots, footprints, or other unfavorable lies to a safer position, as long as it is not closer to the hole.
5. Conceded Putts: Players can agree to concede putts, allowing for a more relaxed pace of play.
6. Equipment: There are no restrictions on the number of clubs a player can carry, allowing for more flexibility.
7. Common Sense: When in doubt, players should use common sense and fairness to guide their decisions on the course.
However each one can be voted on separate instead of a hole but if there are duplicate entries then this will override the duplicate entry.
