Starting Times & Registration
You will be scheduling your own tee times anytime after 3:00 on Wednesday’s. Registration for the event will occur at the same time you check in to pay your greens fees.  If you don’t have a foursome, please request to be paired with other league members when you call to schedule your tee time. If for some reason you are not able to play as a foursome, we will match your scorecard up with other singles, twosomes, or threesomes for that event.

Greens Fees
All players must have register receipt.  The rangers will be checking to be certain that everyone has paid.  Please keep your register receipt handy, as you will be checked.

Prizes
Each night there will be a mandatory $5.00 entry fee.  Each night prizes will be awarded in the form of credit that may be used to purchase merchandise out of the Pro Shop.  We will keep track of the credits earned and each week we will post a sheet with your balances in the “Links” Pro Shop.  When you would like to use your credit for a purchase in the Pro Shop you may bring your purchase to the counter and the staff will fill out a credit voucher.  This credit voucher will be used as a gift certificate in the register.  You may not have a negative balance on your credit account, so you will have to wait until you earn more money or simply pay the balance at the time of purchase.  Credit may be redeemed in either the “Links” pro shop or the “Old Course” pro shop. All credit must be used by November 7th, 2006.  If you do not use the credit you will lose the credit.

Score Posting
New Richmond Golf Club staff will post scores after each event using the ESC guidelines.  Many of you may not be aware of the ESC guidelines so we will have a copy of them posted next to the handicap computer for your reference.  The handicap computer is located in “Old Course” Pro Shop.  When playing golf outside of “League Play” please drop your scorecard in the box at the “Links” clubhouse and we will get those scores posted for you.

Results
The results will be posted to the bulletin board on Thursday’s.

Club Championship
The Club Championship will be contested over the last to 2 nights of league play and will be the total of your 2 rounds.  The Club Championship will be our biggest tournament of the year and boasts the best payout.  We will be breaking the golfers up into flights and prizes will be awarded to at least the top 3 gross and net in each flight.  Also, the best gross and net scores regardless of flights will be crowned the 2006 club champions.  Don’t miss out on this event.

Establishing a Handicap
To establish a handicap you will need to post 5 - 18 Hole scores or 10 – 9 Hole scores.  If you have some scorecards from a trip out of state this past winter you may use those scores to establish a handicap.  For those of you that don’t have an official handicap, we will be assigning handicaps based on your 1 best score of your last 5 rounds played.  When you have posted enough scores to have an official handicap we will then use that handicap.  Please try your best to get an official handicap established as it will be a more accurate handicap.
