For general Rules of Play please refer to the SCGA's rules
http://www.scga.org/rules/index.htm
.
- "Special" Moorpark Golf Club Club Rules of Play are as follows:
- POSTING PROMPTLY - Moorpark Golf Club members are expected to promptly post scores from club tournaments using either the computer at the course or using SCGA's Net Post
http://www.scga.org/dec_scoreposting.html
.
- POSTING "TOURNAMENT ROUNDS" - Unless the Tournament Director specifically designates one of the monthly tournaments as an official SCGA "Tournament", when posting their scores, members should answer "No" when prompted "Was This a Tournament Round?".
- WINTER RULES - Only when the Tournament Director specifies that "Winter Rules" are applicable for a specific tournament, a ball lying in the fairway may, without penalty, be moved or lifted, cleaned and placed within six inches of where it originally lay, but not nearer the hole and not in a hazard or on a putting green. A player may move or place their ball once and, after the ball has been so moved or placed, it is in play. A ball off the fairway must be played as it lies according to USGA or local course rules that normally apply.
-
RANGE FINDERS & GPS Unless specifically forbidden during selected tournaments (i.e. Club Championship), the use of range finders, GPS, and locating devices provided by the course or individual players are permitted.
- CONTESTS
- Approach Usually played on a Par 5 hole, the third stroke, even if is a putt, is the approach stroke. If played on a Par 4 hole, the second stroke would be the approach stroke. No course handicaps are used.
-
Closest-To-Pin Only on selected Par 3 holes using the first stroke. If the marker has a measuring tape, the measurement is from the closest side of the pin to the closest side of the ball and the recorded measurement & name are placed on the marker off the green. If there is no measuring tape, the name is placed on the marker and the marker placed where the ball came to rest. Marker is to be placed on the backside of the ball away from the pin. No course handicaps are used.
-
Longest Drive Longest first drive off the tee that rests in the fairway. No course handicaps are used.
-
Putts (Fewest) The player has made his first putt once he has made a stroke from the putting green and all subsequent strokes are counted as putts. Even if the ball should go off the green or into a trap and the player uses a club other than a putter, it counts as a putt stroke. The winner is the player with the fewest number of putts. No course handicaps are used.
-
Skins A skin is awarded to a player who earned the lowest actual net score on a hole, with no ties. In the event that no skins are awarded in a tournament, the prize is carried over to the next tournament and added to the new skins jackpot. The fewer skins won, the more each one is worth. As the skins are based on net scores, players must have an established index to participate in skins and the course handicap is used to calculate net scores.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
- Golfers with an index <24.4 will be eligible for the Club Championship and the 1st Place trophy. We'll award three trophies (1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place). Our Club Champion will get the 1st Place Trophy and be eligible to play in the SCGA Tournament of Club Champions later in the year.
-
The Club Champion will be awarded to the player with the combined lowest four (4) net scores obtained throughout the tournament year (January through September).
The Club will also award 1st Place Low Gross to the player with the combined lowest four (4) gross scores obtained throughout the tournament year (January through September).
- A player needs only to play in four of the nine tournaments to be eligible for Club Champion or Low Gross.
- Only net scores with an established GHIN Index are eligible (no Callaway net scores).
- All players, regardless of index, are eligible for 2nd & 3rd place trophies.
- A player is not required to play in the September event to win the Championship (1st, 2nd or 3rd).
- Ties upon the completion of the final round in September will be broken by the following criteria:
- Player with the lowest Index for the month of September wins.
- If still tied, the player who plays the September tournament with the lowest net score wins.
- If still tied, the player that played in the most tournaments for the year prevails.
