- Players 60+ and ladies are eligible to play gold tees (if your handicap is 10 or
above), all other players will play the white tees
Rules of Play
- White Stake (plus fence lines and roadways) = OB which incurs a one stroke penalty as long as a provisional ball was played. If the player chooses not to play a provisional ball, a 2 stroke penalty is incurred and the ball may be brought to the fairway at the agreed point where the ball went out of bounds. This is a time-saving measure to keep
up the pace of play. The same penalty applies to a lost ball. - Yellow Stake = play it as it lies- no penalty, or take a drop as far back as you wish as long as the point is where the ball crossed-1 stroke penalty
- Red Stake = same as above except you have an extra option of taking lateral relief within two club lengths of where the ball last crossed but no closer to the hole- 1
stroke penalty - Red/Yellow Stake w/ Green Tip= environmental area, you may retrieve your ball from this area but are not permitted to hit out of this area. Retrieved
ball = one stroke penalty with a drop within two club lengths of where the ball crossed but not closer to the hole. Lost ball = 2 stroke penalty and play
as Out of Bounds above. - Local Rule -if your ball is outside the environmental area but your stance requires you to stand in the area to play the ball, take free drop at nearest
point of relief no closer to the hole – No Penalty
Handicapping Players
- Golfers without a GHIN will establish a handicap once 54 holes of scores
are recorded- try to play 54 holes before the start of the league- or post 54 holes from 2024 (any combination of 9’s or 18’s) - Handicap season for 2025 begins April 1st in PA & DE, March 15 in MD
- If no scores are given then a (0) scratch handicap will apply until a
handicap is established - Players must post scores for rounds played outside of Wyncote
- Wyncote has the right to change a player’s handicap if it is thought to be incorrect. Any player falsifying a handicap is up for dismissal from the league with no refund
- Handicap is adjusted according to tees played
- Men 60+ with a handicap of 10 or higher and ladies are eligible to play
the gold tees - Golfers may only change their tee preference once during the league year
- Your handicap will be based off 90% of your total
Scoring
- Wyncote has invested in Golf Genius Premium
- All teams are required to have at least 1 golfer with the Golf Genius App and will be
responsible for inputting their scores during the round in the app - Enter your gross score (Golf Genius will adjust your score according to your handicap, ie. You score a 5 put in a 5 and Golf Genius will adjust to a 4 if you get a stroke)
- There will be NO paper scorecards. Golf Genius will handicap matches (lowest handicapper of the match becomes a o and all other golfers are adjusted accordingly)
- Points will be earned on a hole by hole basis
- Winning a hole will give you 2 points, a tie will give you 1, a loss will be o and 2 for winning the overall match- for all formats except A vs. A/B vs. B/A vs. B, stableford, and stroke play
- A vs. A/B vs. B/A vs. B- 10 points per individual match – 1 point win, 0.5 tie, o for a loss, 1 point for winning overall match
- Stroke play and Stableford will award 10 points to individual golfers who finish in the top half and 4 points to each individual in the bottom half
- All players will be required to post accurate scores. If a putt is given to you, you must count that as 1 stroke given to you- not more or less
- All birdie and par putts must be holed out

Format Rules
Better Ball: All players play their own ball throughout the round. The best score amongst the two person team counts as the score for that team. Two person teams will earn points based on the 9-hole better ball match. How points are scored can be found in the scoring section.
Aggregate: All players play their own ball throughout the round. The two person team adds their score together on each hole and the team with the lowest combined score wins the hole. How points are scored can be found in the scoring section.
A vs A/B vs B: All players play their own ball throughout the round. The lowest handicap player plays a 9 hole match versus the lowest handicap player on the other team. The highest handicap player plays a 9 hole match versus the highest handicap player on the other team
A vs B: All players play their own ball throughout the round. The lowest handicap player plays a 9 hole match versus the highest handicap player on the other team.
Shamble: All players tee off and each team chooses the best drive of the two players. The two player team then plays their own ball from the chosen drive until the ball is holed. Points will be determined using the better ball format
Stableford: All players play their own ball throughout the round. The individual scores will be calculated as follows: Hole in one = 6 points, Double Eagle = 5 points, Eagle = 4 points, Birdie = 3 points, Par = 2 points, Bogey = 1 point, Double Bogey = 0. Individuals scoring in the top half of the league will earn 10 points for their team and those in the bottom half will earn 4 points.
Stroke Play: All players play their own ball throughout the round. Individual golfers in the top half will earn 10 points for their team and those in the bottom half will earn 4 points. Handicap will be based off low
