Event Details:
For this event there is one net division with no flights, 100% handicap is applied.
Lone Ranger format is a fun game that is played with foursomes. Every hole, one player in the foursome is assigned to be the Lone Ranger. On the 1st hole, player in position 1 in the pairings will act as the Lone Ranger. On the 2nd hole, player in position 2 in the pairings will act as the Lone Ranger. On the 3rd, player in position 3. On the 4th, player in position 4. The cycle then repeats throughout the rest of the round.
When playing this format, you will count the Lone Ranger’s ball as well as the best ball of the other 3 players. So, two balls will be counted on each hole.
Highlighted scorecards will be available in the pro shop, please enter gross scores only.

Penalty for breach of this condition is disqualification.
Distance Measuring Devices:
For all play in GHMA events a player may obtain distance information using a device that measures distance only.
Local Rules:
All stone walls on the golf course have been determined to be integral parts of the course and are not immovable obstructions. Play the ball as it lies or take an un-playable lie with penalty. These stone walls are located but not limited to, along the left side of Hole 2, the stone wall that separates 12, 15, & 16, and the right of hole 16.
For hole 10, if a ball comes to rest between the greenside curbing (blue line) and white stakes, a free lift is permitted but the ball must be dropped in a designated drop area. If a ball comes to rest between the white stakes and the Clark Lane (includes property across the street) the ball must be dropped in a designated drop area with a one stroke penalty. This rule is for GHMA events and may defer from what is written on the Grassy Hill scorecard. This rule will be posted on bulletin board outside the pro-shop.
Relief may be obtained from concrete, blacktop, gravel, and mulch cart paths under the following conditions: areas adjacent to cart paths if the lie, stance, or swing is affected by loose gravel, areas worn by cart traffic, areas not healed by construction or washed out by weather. Also includes flower beds and landscaped areas enclosed by cart paths.
