Key rules for play within the Annapolis Valley Senior Men' Golf Association

1. Players are at last 50 years old.
2. Players are divided into 5 handicap groups assuming that all members play each event.  Ladies are divided into 2 or more divisions depending on numbers.
3. Players begin with their normal handicap slope rating, but this is adjusted to a handicap based on Association event scores only, after playing in 1 or more association tournaments.  All members handicaps are adjusted after each tournament they play and prior to each tournament as each courses slope is different.
4. If a ball is in an unplayable lie, or lost, the player may drop his ball in the closely mown portion of the fairway at a point closest to where the ball lies in its unplayable lie, or where you and your group think it lies in the case of a lost ball.  Count one (1) stroke penalty.  Only look for a lost ball for up to 2 minutes.  If you choose to, you may take relief according as to the RCGA Rules Handbook, but our rule is to speed up play, and any handicap is kept internally.
5. Putt out each hole and do not play by "Winter Rules" unless such rules are in effect at the course being played.
6. Try to show up at least 1/2 hour before tee-off time so you will have time to register and get out to your hole.
7. All tournaments use a shotgun start format.
8. Players will be placed in foursomes as either walkers or as riders.  You may play in prearranged groups if you wish.
