WGA Rules of Competition
Ladies have the option to play TEE of choice. (Exception: Stableford, Club Championship, TOC and any tournament mentioned below)
Fourteenclubsare the maximum allowed in one player'sgolfbag during a round played under therulesofgolf. Any number below14is fine, but more than14is not. Also, those14 clubscannot be changed during the course of one round. You must finish with the14you started with.Equipment may not be modified once the WGA event begins. Loft and lie of all equipment must be kept in tack for the entire round.
One Ball Condition is in effect for Club Championship –When this condition is in effect, players are required to use the same brand and type of golf ball throughout the stipulated round. In all other competitions, the type of ball that you use to start the hole, must be used until the hole is complete. For instance – if you start with a Pinnacle, you must finish with the same type of Pinnacle.
Tournament Scores - Examples of club competition scores that may be posted as tournament scores when they meet the above conditions are low gross or low net competitions, four-ball match or stroke-play competitions, Stableford competitions, and club championships which are stroke or match play, scratch, or with handicap. The WGA will classify the following events as tournament scores: Club Championship, Stableford, 2 Day Medal, Chairmans Cup, Grand Finale & Tournament of Champions.
Rule 3-5 – This rule clarifies handicap adjustments if there are players competing within the same tournament from a different set of tees. The below information will be used, based on the calculations set forth by the USGA, to adjust handicaps in this situation.
Combo Tee - 70.0 (2 stroke addition) White Tee –72.6 (5 stroke addition)
Match Play & Score Posting – All match play rounds are to posted for handicap purposes. The information below is from the USGA and discusses how to score the hole when you or your partner have been conceded or elected to pick up on any hole.
Conceded Strokes/Unfinished HolesQ.How does a player post a score if conceded a stroke or does not finish a hole?
A.If a player does not finish a hole or is conceded a stroke, record the most likely score for handicap purposes.
A most likely score is the number of strokes already taken, plus in the player's best judgment, the number of strokes
needed to complete the hole from that point more than half the time.
The most likely score should have an "X" preceding the number. For example, player A is just off the green in two strokes, and
player A’s partner just holed out for a two; therefore, player A decides to pick up. Player A determines the most likely score would
have been to chip on and two putt; therefore, player A will record an X-5 on the scorecard (two strokes already taken plus three more
strokes to complete the hole). Player A does not automatically put down the Equitable Stroke Control (ESC)™ maximum. First,
player A determines the most likely score and then after the round checks to see if the most likely score is above the ESC limit.
In this case, player A has a Course Handicap™ of 24 and an ESC maximum of eight. Recording X-5 is not above ESC limit and
therefore, X-5 is the score that must be posting for handicap purposes.
Please visit Section 4-1 of theUSGA Handicap Systemmanual for further reference.
Players must choose prior to all match play events beginning what tee they will be competing from for the duration of the event. Players must play from that tee for the entire event.
Tie Breakers
Player of the Year Tie Breaker – playoff for ties for the Women’s Golf Association Player of the Year will be as follows: Total # of Points earned in Grand Finale, Chairman’s Cup and Tournament of Champions. If tied after the aforementioned procedure, Club Championship points will be used to break the tie.
Stableford Tie Breaker – 1st Tie Breaker is the highest single round point total.
2nd – Highest combined 2 rounds
3rd – Lowest differential of the 3 rounds from your highest to lowest.
If you decide to pick on a hole you must take your maximum and put an X by it (9x), this denotes that you have picked up and are not eligible to win anything in the competition.
If during Stableford you choose to pick up it must be done so once you have reached the stroke limit that equals to the Point Value of 0. When the score is posted we will use the ESC Chart to determine what score will be posted on that hole.
