League

Women’s League play is on Tuesdays and the course is closed to all other play until 11:30 am. When the Club is open on Monday holidays, the Club will be closed on the Tuesday following, and Women’s golf will be on Thursday of those weeks, with Tuesday open play restrictions applying.

Monday Golf Outings

The golf course and all practice areas are closed on Mondays, except when a member sponsored/ Board

Approved golf outing is taking place.

Pace of Play

Please play without undue delay at all times. All players are asked to keep pace with the group in front of them and / or play their round of golf in four hours or less.

• Events

The Head Golf Professional and his staff shall be in charge of monitoring pace of play for all Ruth Lake events. Any group that is approached for a second time and asked to improve their position will be given a warning for slow play. The group will have two holes to improve their position. If the position of the group has not improved in two holes, all players are subject to a two stroke penalty. Determination of penalties will be based on an individual’s time it takes to play once it is their turn, with 40 seconds being the maximum allowed for players in groups that have been warned. This information will be reported to the Golf Committee who will decide immediately on the appropriate penalty.

• Open Play

Same guidelines as above with one exception: if any group has been warned after not improving their position, the Golf Professional may require them to pick up their golf balls and move to the next tee and/ or skip another hole, if necessary.

Continuous Putting

It is recommended that players use continuous putting whether in events or open play. Continuous putting is proven to have a positive influence on pace of play. The definition of continuous putting is to finish the hole once a player has their putter in their hand and their turn has begun.

Handicaps

The Handicap Committee’s responsibility is to make certain that all members comply with the World Handicap System and to monitor all aspects of the World Handicap System, including the computation of the WHS indexes. The Handicap Committee shall verify that all acceptable scores are reported for handicap purposes and that all recorded scores are available for peer review.

The Handicap Committee has the right to determine penalty score for not posting, designate which rounds will be tournament scores, and make adjustments to handicaps for disabilities, or for exceptional tournament play. The Handicap Committee also reserves the right to decide on any other matters relative to the World Handicap System.

All handicap matters will be dealt with using the 2023 World Handicap Manual as a guideline.

Ruth Lake Cup Points will be awarded for these events.

Ruth Lake Country Club was the brainchild of nine golf-loving businessmen from Hinsdale. Their intention was simple; “We went into this to save the property primarily for ourselves, so that we may enjoy golf, and other summer and winter sports here, in perpetuity at a small expense.”

It is with that we honor these nine great men who first leased the 160 acres, known as the Dixon Farm that surrounded Ruth Lake. The name of our Men’s League is named after them as a group, and our ten teams will be their individual names.

We hope you enjoy the League.
