PAC GOLF IMPORTANT RULES of THE GAME (As of 8/1/2025)

1) Search Time: You have three minutes to find your ball before it is lost.

2) Relaxed Restrictions in Bunkers: You can touch or move loose impediments in a bunker, but be careful you don't move your ball when doing so or you'll get one penalty stroke. You cannot touch the sand with your club next to your ball, or during the backswing for your stroke. You also cannot touch the sand anywhere to test its condition or when making a practice swing.

3) Actions Allowed in Penalty Areas - You are allowed to: ● Ground your club ● Take practice swings ● Take penalty area relief ● Touch water ● Remove loose impediments

4) Penalty Area Relief For one penalty stroke, you have two relief options from a yellow penalty area and three relief options from a red penalty area. ● Stroke-and-Distance (red or yellow) - Play from the relief area based on where your previous stroke was made. ● Lateral Relief (red only) - Drop a ball within a two club-length relief area measured from where your ball last crossed the edge of the penalty area, and no closer to the hole than that point. ● Back-On-the-Line (red or yellow) - Drop a ball within one club-length to either side of a straight line from the hole through the point where your ball last crossed the edge of the penalty area, going back as far as you’d like.

5) Dropping and Measuring Relief Area ● Drop your ball from knee height so that it lands in and comes to rest in the relief area. ● Your relief area is either one or two club-lengths, measured from the reference point (based on the Rule you are taking relief under). If relief is free its one club length is no nearer to the hole. If there is a penalty it is two club lengths. ● Measure club-lengths using the longest club in your bag other than your putter.

6) Provisional Ball: If a ball might be lost outside a penalty area or out of bounds, to save time a player may play another ball provisionally. Players must say the provisional before making a stroke. If the original ball is found in play, the player must abandon the provisional ball. There is no penalty for having hit a provisional ball if original ball is found in play.

7) Use Your Own Ball: If you lose a ball during a hole, then you can play with a new ball, but otherwise you must finish the hole with the ball you started with. Changing balls in between holes is fine. So how can you recognize your ball? Remembering the number printed on it is one easy way of doing this. You could also draw a distinctive marking on your ball or use different colored balls than other players.

8) Carry up to 14 Clubs: You can carry 14 clubs in your bag during a competitive round. It does not matter which 14 you choose. However, if you have more than 14 in your bag, it could cost you penalty strokes on each hole that you play.

9) Cart Path: A player must determine within reason that the cartpath impedes with their stance. Once determined, the play must find the nearest point of relief and will get one club length no closer to the hole to drop.

10) Pace of Play: The recommended pace of play for a nine hole round is 2 hours 10 minutes. If a group is determined to be out of position, the committee may warn the group to get back in position and start timing each player. Players have 40 seconds to execute a shot once they determine yardage or on the putting green mark and clean the ball.

11) Code of Conduct: Competitors will be in violation of this Code of Conduct if they engage in abusive language, club throwing, disrespect of volunteers or officials, abuse of the golf course, smoking or chewing tobacco products, use of drugs or alcohol, not adhering to the dress code during any practice or tournament round, leaving the course during a competitive round without permission of an official, vandalism, abusive behavior to employees of host facilities, and otherwise failing to conduct themselves in keeping with the game’s traditions, which include respect for fellow competitors. Actions 1. Consequences for student athletes who violate the code of conduct will be based on individual schools team rules.

12) Scoring: Home team will designate a scoring area. Players must sit and review scores hole by hole. Once scores are confirmed, players will sign and submit the official scorecard.

Team Sportsmanship - 2nd Place

My team rules/philosophy:

1) Everyone supports each other and have fun. The goal is to create a life-long love with this sport while trying to win!

2) Everyone needs an individual score goal and a team goal. These goals can change as the season progresses. The top eight from practice will play each match based on their score cards and overall average since tryouts, however head coach has right to alter for violation in team rules/philosophy.

3) Once practice or a match begins, no cell phones. If it becomes an issue, we will just all turn in all phones before we begin. If you are using your phone for a range finder, please talk to be about that.

4) We travel together (school van) for away matches - music on your own.

5) Keep your grades up or you can't practice or play.

6) Come to every practice (Unless sick from school or approved trip). For practice, we will work on the range, putting/chipping area, and play some holes on the course. We may only do range work one day or putting/chipping. We may go out in large groups of five to six and only play three to four holes to work on course management or send out foursomes to check overall scoring.

7) Come prepared for golf: team shirt (any collared shirt for practice is fine) , clubs, balls, shoes, tees, towel, ball mark repair, water, hat, glove, sun block, umbrella etc. Also, make sure to check green area and traps for left over clubs and items from your group or previous group.

8) Be honest - Do not embellish your score or your position on the course - cutting strokes does not help anyone! Honesty and credibility comes from doing the right thing when no one is watching.

9) There are no gimmies - put out everything. Last putter should not have to put pin in.

10) Etiquette: Respect the course - leave it better than you found it. This means raking out traps, fixing a ball mark and one other, fill in divots when possible, saying "Fore" on wayward shots, not going ahead of your group, no yelling or swearing(there will be s swear/quit/negativity jar), and furthest out always plays first.

11) On Greens: mark ball behind not in front, do not step on line of playing partners, offer to hold pin etc., watch your shadow, watch line of sight during putts and stay immobile, and again fix ball marks and one other.

12) Pace of play - it is ok to be bad at golf, but it is not ok to play slow! Limit practice swings - move out of the way to let other groups pass during practice if you are struggling. It is ok to think on the course - just don't over do it while stopping play behind you. FYI your first practice swing is probably your best!

13) For matches, you need to work it out! What happens on the hole is what happens on that hole. You and your group must agree on each score, or a rule interpretation, or any other items that may arise. Coaches can help with rules and possible scoring issues, but it is best to work it out amongst whomever is playing. I will get everyone a rules sheet plus provisional play as well. Also, make sure you agree on what ball you are playing before the round and have "like" backups with either your marking or same number ball etc.

13) This is one of two sports in high school (tennis) that you can play forever. You are all 14-18 and you can play until you are 90 or older! Try to get 1% better each day.

14) I will be everywhere that I can be - I always have my cell phone on me if you need to get ahold of me. I will be on the range, at the putting green or traps, and on the course to support all of you and help in any way that I can. If you do not see me, I am on the course so just contact me if there is an issue. Just again be mindful unless this is in an emergency, since I do not want you on your phones ever while we are at the course.

15 Basic Rules:

1) 14 clubs max in your bag.

2) Play behind tee markers and within two clubs of them and back.

3) Play the ball as it lies unless allowed to clean and place, or roll the ball based on course and coaches agreement, or move per rules below.

4) Pay attention to out of bounds markers. Hit a provisional if any question to whether or not your ball is OB.

5) Understand hazards and markers - found below. Take drops from knee level after marking where you should drop at.

6) Lost ball - play provisional like OB #4. You have three minutes to look for ball.

7) Unplayable lies - see rules below.

8) You get cart path relief - see rules below.

9) Whiffing or missing ball on swing counts. However, hitting on address does not count.

10) No real practice between holes.

11) Don't really ask for or give advice - and spectators (parents/friends/family) must stay away from you and no communication. (About 30 yards)

12) Bunker rules - no ground of club!

13) Mark golf ball once on green - you should also fix spike marks and divots. Flagstick may now stay in while putting if you wish.

14) Finish hole with same ball you started hole with. Also, never touch another player's ball.

15) Sign scorecard correctly after agreement - and agreement should be made after each hole.

TP:

1 - This opening Par 5, at 490 yards from the blue, offers a challenging tee shot over the "twin ponds" with bunkers on both sides of the fairway. A good tee shot and you can try to get home in 2.

2 - A medium distance par 3, this hole is protected by bunkers on both sides of the green. Trouble to right with trees and you don't want to be long on this one. The nice flat green is birdie friendly

3 - A good drive on this short par 4 and you could have a short chip to this green. Once on the huge sloping green your work has just begun. Hit it to the right off the tee and you will have some trees to contend with.

4 - This straight ahead par 4 has a rolling fairway and an elevated green. Beware the water down the left side of the fairway.

5 - This uphill par 3 features a two tiered green that slopes back to front. If you find yourself on the wrong tier you will have your work cut out for you. This is a hole where too much club will send you out to Gilbertsville Road.

6 - From the white tees, this par 5 is very reachable in 2. Out of bounds on the left and trees to the right make an accurate tee shot a must. Approach shots that hit the front of this sloped green often roll back to the fairway.

7 - With OB to the left and trees to the right, an accurate tee shot is a must for this short par 4. The rolling fairway leads to an elevated green well protected with bunkers.

8 - A large pond is lurking to the right of the fairway (out of sight from the tee) on this dog leg left and will gobble up any errant shots. Trying to cut the corner may leave you in the pine trees.

9 - This small flat green can yield some birdies if you are fortunate enough to stick your tee shot on the green. A bunker guards the left front of the green and any long shots off the tee could end up in the clubhouse.

COURSE RULES: (These may change over time or have been slightly modified since 2019)

RED Staked Lateral Water Hazard

A water hazard may be designated as a lateral water hazard when the hazard’s shape or position on the course makes it difficult or impossible to drop the ball in accordance with the rules while maintaining a fair playing position. For example, if a water hazard runs parallel to the line of play and the ground on the far side of the hazard has many trees or bushes and very few playable lies, it may be designated as a lateral hazard. If your ball is in this hazard you may not ground your club or remove loose impediments.

You have one of the following options when playing the ball:

▪ Play ball as it lies…NO PENALTY.

▪ Play another ball from the spot where your previous stroke was played…STROKE AND DISTANCE.

▪ Player may drop a ball behind the hazard anywhere along the line extending from the hole through the point where the ball entered the hazard… ADD 1 STROKE PENALTY.

▪ A player may drop a ball outside the water hazard within two club-lengths of and not nearer the hole than (i) the point where the original ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard or (ii) a point on the opposite margin of the water hazard equidistant from the hole.… ADD 1 STROKE PENALTY.

=====================================================================================================

YELLOW Staked Water Hazard

If your ball is in this hazard you may not ground your club or remove loose impediments. You have one of the following options when playing the ball:

▪ Play ball as it lies…NO PENALTY.

▪ Play another ball from the spot where your previous stroke was played…STROKE AND DISTANCE.

▪ Player may drop a ball behind the hazard anywhere along the line extending from the hole through the point where the ball entered the hazard… ADD 1 STROKE PENALTY.

=====================================================================================================

Out of Bounds (Stroke and distance penalty)

If your ball is out of bounds (outside white stake/line), You have must follow this procedure:

▪ Play another ball from the spot where the previous stroke was played…ADD 1 STROKE AND DISTANCE.

▪ Example: Tee shot goes out of bounds, go back to Tee and re-hit. You are now hitting 3 from the Tee.

====================================================================================================

Lost Ball (Stroke and distance penalty)

If you are not able to find your ball, you have must follow this procedure:

▪ Play another ball from the spot where the previous stroke was played… ADD 1 STROKE AND DISTANCE.

▪ Example: You are not able to find your Tee shot, go back to Tee and re-hit. You are now hitting 3 from the Tee.

===================================================================================================

FREE Relief Situations

A golfer is allowed a free drop, no closer to the hole when:

▪ The ball comes to rest on the cart path or the player is standing on the cart path or the cart path interferes with the player’s area of intended swing.

▪ The ball lies in casual water on the course or the player is standing in casual water or casual water interferes with the player’s area of intended swing.

▪ The ball comes to rest in an area marked as “Ground Under Repair” or the player is standing in the GUR or the GUR interferes with the player’s area of intended swing.

▪ A staked tree interferes with the lie of the ball, player’s stance, or area of intended swing.

▪ The ball becomes embedded in its own pitch-mark in any closely mown area. Note: As provided in Appendix I a player gets relief through the green. A ball must be dropped as near as possible to the embedded ball pitchmark.

▪ The ball comes to rest on the wrong putting green.

▪ An artificial yardage marker or sprinkler head interferes with the lie of the ball, player’s stance, or area of intended swing.

▪ A golfer is in any kind of life-threatening situation (i.e. snakes, alligators, wild dogs.) ▪ If the ball lands on an opposite tee box, a player MUST play the ball as it lies…NO PENALTY.

=====================================================================================================

NO Relief Situations

The golfer must play the ball as it lies …or take a penalty stroke for an unplayable lie when:

▪ The ball lies next to a fence, wall or stake that defines the out-of-bound area.

▪ The ball lies next to trees or bushes that inhibit golfer’s swing.

▪ The ball is embedded in a hazard.

▪ If a ball lands on a divot or in a divot hole, the player must play the ball as it lies.

===================================================================================================

Other Situations

▪ A golfer knocks ball off tee at address…NO PENALTY (ball not in play).

▪ A golfer can remove a RED or YELLOW stake that impairs the swing or stance, provided the golfer does not move the ball.

▪ When the ball is overhanging the hole, a player is allowed reasonable time to reach the hole and then up to 10 seconds to determine if the ball is at rest before marking the ball or tapping in.

▪ If a player hits the ball of another golfer (the wrong ball), that player must correct his mistake by going back and playing his ball from the correct location…….2 STROKE PENALTY.

Beginner Golf Terms

Birdie: Completing the hole in one less stroke than the par.
Bogey: Completing the hole in one more stroke than the par.
Double Bogey: Completing the hole in two more strokes than the par (catch the trend?).
Eagle: Completing the hole in two fewer strokes than the par.
Fairway: The stretch of shorter grass that directs you to the hole (it’s where you want to be)
Fore: What golfers yell (hopefully loudly) when they hit a bad shot to alert the golfers in the area where their ball is headed. Generally translated as “duck and cover.”
Green: The area of finely trimmed grass at the end of each hole (it’s where you want to end up).
Hazards: The crap golf course architects put in your way like water, sand traps, and tall grass.
Hole-in-One: Hitting it in the hole on your first shot.
Hook: A golf shot that moves severely right to left for right-handed hitters and the opposite way for lefties.

PAC GOLF TOP TEN RULES of THE GAME

1) Search Time - You have three minutes to find your ball before it is lost.

2) Relaxed Restrictions in Bunkers - You can touch or move loose impediments in a bunker, but be careful you don't move your ball when doing so

or you'll get one penalty stroke. You cannot touch the sand with your club next to your ball, or during the backswing for your stroke. You also cannot touch

the sand anywhere to test its condition or when making a practice swing.

3) Actions Allowed in Penalty Areas - You are allowed to:

● Ground your club

● Take practice swings

● Take penalty area relief

● Touch water

● Remove loose impediments

4) Penalty Area Relief For one penalty stroke, you have two relief options from a yellow penalty area and three relief options from a

red penalty area.

● Stroke-and-Distance (red or yellow) - Play from the relief area based on where your previous stroke was made.

● Lateral Relief (red only) - Drop a ball within a two club-length relief area measured from where your ball last crossed the edge of the penalty area, and no

closer to the hole than that point.

● Back-On-the-Line (red or yellow) - Drop a ball within one club-length to either side of a straight line from the hole through the point where your ball last

crossed the edge of the penalty area, going back as far as you’d like.

5) Dropping and Measuring Relief Area

● Drop your ball from knee height so that it lands in and comes to rest in the relief area.

● Your relief area is either one or two club-lengths, measured from the reference point (based on the Rule you are taking relief under). If relief is free its one

club length is no nearer to the hole. If there is a penalty it is two club lengths.

● Measure club-lengths using the longest club in your bag other than your putter.

6) Provisional Ball - If a ball might be lost outside a penalty area or out of bounds, to save time a player may play another ball provisionally. Players must say

the provisional before making a stroke. If the original ball is found in play, the player must abandon the provisional ball. There is no penalty for having hit a

provisional ball if original ball is found in play.

7) Use Your Own Ball - If you lose a ball during a hole, then you can play with a new ball, but otherwise you must finish the hole with the ball you started

with. Changing balls in between holes is fine. So how can you recognize your ball? Remembering the number printed on it is one easy way of doing this. You

could also draw a distinctive marking on your ball or use different colored balls than other players.

8) Carry up to 14 Clubs - You can carry 14 clubs in your bag during a competitive round. It does not matter which 14 you choose. However, if you have more

than 14 in your bag, it could cost you penalty strokes on each hole that you play.

9) Cart Path - A player must determine within reason that the cartpath impedes with their stance. Once determined, the play

must find the nearest point of relief and will get one club length no closer to the hole to drop.

10) Pace of Play - The recommended pace of play for a nine hole round is 2 hours 10 minutes. If a group is determined to be out

of position, the committee may warn the group to get back in position and start timing each player. Players have 40 seconds to execute a shot once they

determine yardage or on the putting green mark and clean the ball.

BASH/MSE/MSW Athletes and Parents/Guardians,

We are now requiring that ALL athletes in ALL grades complete an ImPACT test for concussion management prior to the start of the season they are participating in. This should be completed along with your other paperwork needed in order to participate.

For anyone who is not familiar with this test, we need you/your child to complete an online baseline test. In the event you/they sustain a concussion during your season, we will utilize this test for return to sport. The test should not take more than 45 minutes. It is best to take it in a quiet room with no distractions on a desktop computer. If you do not have a desktop, a laptop is fine, but please use a detached mouse if able, as the touchpad slows down your reaction time, which is one of the main focuses of this test. YOU CAN NOT TAKE THIS ON A PHONE!!!

When you log in you will need to select Boyertown School District as the organization first. Please make sure you select the proper school! If you accidentally select a different school we cannot access your test and you will need to take it over. Also, please ensure you fill out the ENTIRE demographic section (first section). If you have any questions about what you need to do, or are having trouble getting access to the baseline test, please reach out to either myself, JohnAnthony or Rachel at the email addresses listed below.

When you complete the test it will prompt you to print/email a confirmation page. Please save this as a PDF file and send it to the email of the Athletic Trainer for your school. Once we receive this, we will look up your test and mark you as complete if you pass, or reach out for you to re-take it if your score is invalid. Once you begin this test, DO NOT stop for any reason. The test will time-out if there’s too long a pause in activity and you’ll have to take it over. If, for some reason, you are unable to take this test at home, please reach out to us via one of the emails listed below, and we will make arrangements with you to take it at the high school with us. You may also call the Athletic Training room directly at 610-369-7603 and we will return your call as soon as we can.

In order to be eligible to participate in your first day of practice this test MUST be completed by: August 3rd - V/JV Football only August 10th-All Other BASH Athletes August 18-MS 7/8th Football August 25th All MS Athletes Website- https://impacttestonline.com/schools Cust.
