2023 GUAM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AMATEUR GOLF TOURNAMENT: GENERAL INFORMATION AND RULES.
1. GAME FORMAT - Two-man “select shot” FROM TEE THROUGH GREEN. Both players hit from the tee box and select one of the balls to play their next shot. Both players hit their ball from that spot and repeat this process until one of the players hole out. Scoring is based on the Double Peoria System.
2. HIGHEST SCORE PER HOLE– The highest a team can score per hole is THREE (3) OVER PAR. If your team has reached 3 over par, please pick up and move to the next hole.
3. LIFT, CLEAN & PLACE – From the fairways, rough or sand traps, you are allowed to lift, clean and place your ball no more than six (6) inches from where it came to rest no closer to the hole.
4. OUT OF BOUNDS or LOST BALL – If BOTH players hit their balls OB or lose their balls, proceed under Rule 5 - HAZARDS. There is a three (3) minute LIMIT to search for lost balls.
5. HAZARDS (excluding sand traps) - If BOTH players hit into a penalty area (water hazard, jungle, bush, etc.), players may play the ball as it lies without penalty or they can drop the ball from the knee level within two (2) club lengths from the point of entry, no closer to the hole and add one (1) penalty stroke to their score. You are allowed to ground your club and remove loose impediments in the hazard.
6. CASUAL WATER – If your ball is in, or touches, a puddle or area heavily saturated with water, you are allowed to take relief no closer to the hole without penalty. This does not apply if your ball is in a hazard. In a sand trap, relief should be in the trap and, if possible, no closer to the hole. If there is no place in the trap to play from, then you are allowed to take relief BEHIND the trap without penalty.
7. RULINGS - If in doubt about any rule, play two balls and keep score of both balls. The Rules Committee will decide, which score to use. USGA & Local Rules apply.
8. HOLE-IN-ONE (Individual male OR female player) - Women and men must tee off from the SAME distance. Only the FIRST player to shoot a Hole-in-One on each par-three hole will be awarded the Hole-inOne prize.
9. CLOSEST TO THE PIN (Individual male OR female player) – The “Closest to the Pin” competition will be on hole #14 (par-three). Spotters will assist in measuring the distance from the hole to the ball.
10. LONGEST DRIVE (Individual male AND female player) – The “Longest Drive” competition will be on hole #18 on the fairway. In a tie, the longer drive will win. Spotters will assist.
11. THE TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE: The Tournament Committee reserves the right to make ALL decisions governing the tournament, including scores, ties, rulings, etc. All decisions will be FINAL.
