This week we are playing a game that I made up, similar to Redman played in previous years. In this week's game, every male golfer is allowed to play as many red tees as they wish. The catch is that for every red tee they play from, they must play from an equal number of tees from the blues. Any female golfer can play 2 mulligans from the tee, per side.
Note: Any tee box that is under repair and has all the tees together, must be counted as a RED teebox.
You don't need to keep track of tees on your scorecard or anything, but don't cheat.
Scores will be added up in one way or another to determine a champion, or something.
Also, if you smuggle beer in to the course, be a little more secretive of it, and also supplement a few beers from the clubhouse or cart girl. I don't want them cracking down on us, and they have mentioned it to me.
$10 prize for closest to pin on hole #3.
$10 prize for closest to pin on hole #5.

Team 1: Brandon Lemoine, Lamar Bailey, David Zobel
Team 2: Richard Kelly, Chuck Herndon, Clay Deveny, Craig Young
Team 3: Bob Budnek, Dwight Thomas, Paul Grey

Babb may or may not join us, depending on work. If he does he'll be on team 1.
We will shotgun start again this week so let me know if you will not be here by 4:30pm.
Some rules clarifications. The USGA allows for 5 minutes in searching for lost balls. While this is fine in some cases, we need to try to speed up our rounds. I've instituted a local rule which lowers this time to 2 minutes. This will speed up our play. If you hit a ball and cannot see it on the tee shot, do not hesitate to hit a provisional ball.
27.2. Provisional Ball
. a. Procedure
If a ball may be lost outside a water hazard or may be out of bounds, to save time the player may play another ball provisionally in accordance with Rule 27-1. The player must inform his opponent in match play or his marker or a fellow-competitor in stroke play that he intends to play a provisional ball, and he must play it before he or his partner goes forward to search for the original ball.
If he fails to do so and plays another ball, that ball is not a provisional ball and becomes the ball in play under penalty of stroke and distance (Rule 27-1) ; the original ball is lost.
