    Rules & Spirit of the Game

    Keep it loose, play it straight

    We play by standard NCGA rules of golf. Winning isn't everything, and losing can be pretty entertaining too. Cheaters never prosper.

    Sandbagger Rule

    If you score 4+ strokes better than your handicap in two club tournaments in a row, the committee may adjust your handicap for future club events. We follow all NCGA rules, and the league can sanction any player under this rule.
