Note 4: Participants may only win awards for either gross or net places – not both.

As part of the 500 Club Men’s Association program, it is of the utmost importance that all participants understand and abide by the Pace of Play Guidelines set forth below. Regardless of playing ability, all players will be held to the same Pace of Play standard in all events.
First Offense:
Second Offense:
If after two holes of the first offense the group is still Out of Position, then the group will receive a second warning. At this time, all players will be required to play “ready golf” and use the continuous putting rule when on the greens. Failure to do so will result in a two stroke penalty assessed on the hole of the infraction.
Third Offense:
A group that continues to be out of position after the first and second offense will receive a third notification two holes after the second warning. This group will lose tee-time privileges for the next event.
“Ready Golf” – Disregard the etiquette of honors. Hit the ball when you are ready.
“Continuous Putting” – Once you start putting, you must continue until the ball is holed.
