BRADSHAW RANCH TRAVEL CLUB

TOURNAMENT RULES

 

1.  The purpose of this club is three-fold:  to establish a handicap with the Northern California Golf Association; to meet people with similar interests; and, this is the most important of all - HAVE FUN!!!

 

2.  Membership fees are due each year by November 30.  Fees are based on the NCGA membership charges plus the operating costs needed by our club to pay for mailings, trophies, BBQ=s, etc..  RENEWING MEMBERS WHO DO NOT HAVE THEIR DUES PAID BY THE NOVEMBER 30 DATE WILL BE CHARGED THE =NEW MEMBER= RATE.  ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

 

 3.  Play ready golf!  Stay up with the group in front of you.  Everyone must do his/her part to keep play at a regulation pace.  NCGA regulations approximate 15 minutes per hole.

 

4.  Ladies (and male members with maximum handicaps) will pick up after 10 strokes in order to keep the tournament on schedule.  All other male members must play out the hole and record all strokes.

 

5.  If you lose a ball, spend no more than three minutes looking for it.  If the ball cannot be found in 3 minutes, drop another ball, take a penalty stroke and continue with play.  This is necessary to keep up the flow of the tournament and to keep the officials happy.

 

6.  Use winter rules during all tournaments.  You can pick up and clean the ball and move it six inches but no closer to the hole.  The exception to this rule applies to those who are trying to qualify for NCGA sanctioned tournaments. 

 

7.  Respect individual course rules.  Repair divots and ball marks.  Keep the marshals happy and off your backs which, in turn, makes for a much nicer round of golf for everyone. 

 

8.  Travel Club scores will be posted by our handicapper for members only.  Scores accrued by guests playing with the club or by members playing unscheduled courses on their own must be individually posted.

 

9.  You must be a member of the Bradshaw Ranch Travel Club and must have participated in four regular tournaments in the year beginning in January of each year to qualify for the club championship held in August and September. 

 

10.  If you have questions concerning your handicap, a particular course or the policy of the club, please contact one of the officers.  DO NOT CONTACT THE NCGA DIRECTLY.  They are much too busy and will tell you to contact your officers, anyway.  We promise to listen and will do what we can to answer your question or fix your problem.

 

11.  PAY TOURNAMENT FEES BY THE DEADLINE DATES!  As we have deposits that must be paid and head counts that must be given in advance of a tournament, green fees must be paid by the deadline dates listed on your schedules.  We also have tournaments with limited players allowed.  Failure to get green fees in by the listed date could cost you a place in the tournament.

 

12. Elections for officers will be held following the final round of the club championship in September of each year.  This is an open election and anyone may apply for an office.
