Tee box: everyone will play one up from the "tips" unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties. Players who have a handicap of 2 & under must play from tips unless they are playing an opponent with a handicap of 5& under in which case they will play from the same box. Any player may choose to move up but in so doing will give up two strokes off his handicap per box. (Ex: 10 handicap chooses to move up one box will play as a 8 handicap). 60 years and older  who have a handicap over 5 may move up one box with no penalty.  A player may also choose to play back a box, in so doing they will add two strokes to their handicap. (Example a 3 handicap will play as a 5 handicap.)

Players may bump in fairway but play down in rough unless otherwise agreed upon by both players before match. 

White stakes- out of bounds. Lose stroke n distance

***** each bracket has 2 official captains that will make decisions on behalf of parity in bracket 

Normal rules of golf made by USGA

Match play rules: 

In match play the game is played by holes.

Except as otherwise provided in the Rules, a hole is won by the side that holesits ball in the fewer strokes. In a handicap match, the lower net score wins the hole.

The state of the match is expressed by the terms: so many "holes up" or "all square," and so many "to play."

A side is "dormie" when it is as many holes up as there are holes remaining to be played.

2-2. Halved Hole

A hole is halved if each side holes out in the same number of strokes.

When a player has holed out and his opponent has been left with a stroke for the half, if the player subsequently incurs a penalty, the hole is halved.

2-3. Winner Of Match

A match is won when one side leads by a number of holes greater than the number remaining to be played.

If there is a tie, the Committee may extend the stipulated round by as many holes as are required for a match to be won.

2-4. Concession Of Match, Hole Or Next Stroke

A player may concede a match at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that match.

A player may concede a hole at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that hole.
