Presidents Cup Rules
1) Matches should be completed by the date noted at the top of the chart. If a match is not completed by the due date, the Men's Club President will make a determination of who will be disqualified.
2) It is not mandatory that matches be played during Men's Club tee times on Sunday.
3) The player whose name appears on the upper line in each bracket is responsible to contact his opponent and set up a time to play.
4) If both players have signed up to play on a given Sunday they must play their match as scheduled. However if both players agree to reschedule due to the possibility of inclement weather they can do it as long as the match is played by the scheduled date.
5) The higher handicapped player will be allowed the full difference between the handicaps of the two players. Strokes will be taken as they fall on the scorecard. Course handicaps are determined by consulting the index chart on the bulletin board. Seniors ( 62 and older may use the Gold tees, 80 and older may use Red tees).
6) Ties - For all matches: in case of a tie, the winner is the player who last won a hole.
7) Please enter the results on the board - denoting the winner as such - Fred Fringe 2 & 1.
8) Remember this is a match play tournament. If there is a net 4 and a net 7 the net 4 is 1 up not 3 up. It's whoever wins the hole that matters, not the margin.
