RULES AND SUCH

Signing Up - Survey Monkey is where you sign up or say you won't play.  This is easiest way for HACK to corral all the doggies.

Dropping Out - Lots of things come up at the last minute.  Give HACK a call at 602-909-0731 if you can't make it so we can balance all the pairings.  The only excuse we accept is that you have been abducted by aliens.

Be On Time - Get to the course 30 minutes before teeing off to check-in and warm up before heading out.

Scorecards - Mark the gross scores of each hacker for every hole.  Each cart must turn in a scorecard for all players immediately after round.  If there is a discrepancy between the cards, the higher individual hole score will be used.  Guess what...if only one scorecard is turned in, all 3 or 4 players in that group get a double par on every hole.  No need to sign cards.

Rules - We follow USGA rules with a couple of simple exceptions to speed play.

1. OB/Lost Ball - If you hit a ball OB or lose a ball, you optionally don't have to hit a provisional.  Go to the approximate location where it went errant and drop a ball IN THE FAIRWAY.  Add one stroke to the total number of times you swing the club at the ball.

2. Hazard - If your ball doesn't make it across a hazard in one shot (doesn't include sand traps), you can optionally go to the other side and drop a ball IN THE FAIRWAY.  Add one stroke to the total number of times you swing the club at the ball.

3. Unplayable Lie - If your ball is unplayable, you can optionally drop a ball IN THE FAIRWAY.  Add one stroke to the total number of times you swing the club at the ball.

4. Double Par - When you reach double par on any hole, pick your ball up and record a 6, 8 or 10 on the scorecard.

    

   • USGA rules infractions have severe penalties depending on the infraction.  For instance, it is 2 strokes for hitting a moving ball or disqualification for not putting out.  I think rolling the ball over in the fairway results in excommunication...Play the ball as it lays.  With U-HACK, just give yourself a double par on that hole and continue playing if you are not sure what the USGA rule is.  Always ask your playing partners about a matter in question before you proceed.

Closest To Pin - CP's MUST rest on the FIRST CUT of the green in the indicated number of shots.  The first cut is the same length of grass that is around the hole.  Balls resting on the second cut don't count for CP's.  You must be in the $15 betting to put your name on a marker.

Long Putt - Long Putt MUST begin from the FIRST CUT of the green.  The first cut is the same length of grass that is around the hole.  You only get one try for long putt.  Putts beginning from the second cut don't count for long putt.  You must be in the $15 betting to put your name on a marker.
