Other notes:
• although it doesn't make sense to me, athletes are supposed to tee off on odd-numbered holes and partners on even-numbered holes. I'm requesting clarification from the state on this so stay tuned.
• 9-stroke maximum per hole; if one member of a team swings and misses, the other member should then hit the next ball; 3-hole teams may want to relax this if the other teams in your division agrees -- the idea is to have fun and let the athletes compete so I generally suggest 3-hole teams use the "3-swings & you're out" but all teams have to agree and the pace of play has to be adequate
• 90-second maximum to search for a lost ball;
• Coaching is not allowed by spectators or coaches during the round (again, I'd relax this a bit for the 3-hole teams); and,
• There are a very limited number of pull carts available at Oak Marsh Golf Club and should only be used by those playing in the 3-hole and 9-hole competition who do not have their own pull carts.
