THE THREE SESSIONS

Same course. Three different ways to blame your partner.

017:00 AM · 50% HANDICAPS

Net Total Shamble

Both players tee off and the team selects its preferred drive. Each player finishes the hole with their own ball. Add both net scores; the lower team total wins the hole.

029:45 AM · 90% HANDICAPS

Net Best Ball

Everyone plays their own ball. Each side uses its lowest net score. The lower best ball wins the hole.

0312:30 PM · 100% HANDICAPS

Net Singles

Two individual matches are played in every group. The lower net score wins each hole in each match.

STROKES WITHOUT THE MATH

Trust the dots.

Playing handicaps are calculated relative to the lowest handicap in the match and rounded to the nearest whole stroke. The website and printed card do the work.
●
Receive one stroke

Subtract one from that player's gross score on the hole.

●2
Receive two strokes

Subtract two from that player's gross score on the hole.

G
Give one stroke

Add one to that player's gross score on the hole.

MATCH PLAY IN 60 SECONDS

What every player needs to know.

01

Lowest net wins

Win a hole and go 1 UP. Tie it and the match stays where it is. The match ends when the lead is greater than the holes remaining.

02

Play in order

The side farther from the hole plays first. If someone plays out of turn, the opponent may require the stroke to be replayed.

03

Concessions are final

An opponent may concede the next stroke, a hole or the match. A concession cannot be declined or withdrawn.

04

No practice during a hole

Do not play a practice stroke while the hole is being contested. Save the swing rebuild for later.

RIDGEMAWR LOCAL RULE

Red means red.
White means re-hit.

Play hazards as marked. For a ball beyond white stakes, take a one-stroke penalty and replay from the previous spot. Red-staked penalty areas remain governed by normal red-stake relief.
INJURY

Tell both captains immediately.

The captains handle substitutions or any resulting match adjustment under the signed agreement.

OVERALL TIE

Sudden death on Meadows.

If the Cup finishes tied, one Ridgefield player and one Bryn Mawr player are drawn at random for a handicapped sudden-death match.
