FSGA Golf Guidelines

Etiquette

Proper golf etiquette should be maintained by all. Golf is such a nicer game when we respect the course and others and help maintain the beauty and playability of our course by replacing divots, raking sand traps and repairing ball marks on the greens. Observe all rules posted by the Town of Fairfield regarding cart paths, dress code, etc.

Handicaps

FSGA member handicaps will be their GHIN handicap. Following their league day round, players will place their scorecards in the FSGA mailbox located inside the door of the HSR Men's Locker Room.  The scorecards should be signed and attested by another FSGA member and indicated whether the player played from the White or Green tees.  The Handicap Committee will then enter the hole by hole score into the Golf Genius Handicap Software program, '   Player's handicaps will be posted weekly on the FSGA website.

The player's league-day round will be uploaded by the Handicap Committee to the GHIN system.  Players should NOT directly enter their league-day round into the GHIN system as that will result in duplicate round entry in GHIN.

Score Posting

All members are required to place their scorecards in the FSGA mailbox located inside the door of the Men's Locker Room   All scores (9 or 18 Holes) will be posted by the handicap committee. Any member who fails to deliver a completed scorecard for league play on the day of play will lose eligibility for inclusion in the Flight Competition (both weekly and including in the annual cumulative Flight Competition.

Tournaments

Tournament formats will vary, with most tournaments establishing winners in net divisions and others in both gross and net divisions. The tournament committee will be responsible for running all tournaments. Any questions regarding these tournaments should be directed towards the Tournament Committee.

Outside Outings

Each Outside Outing will have a designated coordinator who will be responsible for running the particular event. Any questions regarding these outings should be directed towards the designated coordinator.

There are several events where we send players to participate in outings outside of our course. We expect all players to represent themselves, and our club in a dignified manner. Any player who knowingly and willingly abuses this policy may be subject to exclusion from participating in Outside Outings in the future. Furthermore, any player who signs up and fails to "Show Up" at a particular event (without adequate reason) may be excluded from future outside outings at the discretion of the Board of Governors.
