2008 ~ THURSDAY DAY LEAGUE ~ 2008
Welcome to the 2008 edition of the Thursday Day League. We would like to again thank New Hampshire Distributors, Inc. for their continued support of our league. Thanks to Rich Thibeault and his entire staff for everything they do which makes our golf that much more enjoyable. Lastly, we appreciate the work Peter Tasillo did in preparing the schedule.
REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE ~ TEE TIMES
Official start to the regular season is May 8th with one practice week leading up to the 16 week regular season schedule which ends on August 21st. We will tee from the first hole only during the entire season. The first of your two times should always be the A player.
TIMELY PLAY
We all want to enjoy the weather and camaraderie on the course, however we urge each of you to be ready to play your own shot as soon as it’s your turn. We maintain that all players should move ahead, alert and off to the side and preparing to play your own ball as your partner or opponent gets ready for his shot. Please keep pace with the group in front of you. Let’s aim for all groups to play in less than 4:15 minutes. BE AWARE! If you find your group behind by more than a hole, we urge your group to discuss your pace and make every effort to pick up the pace to decrease the gap.
RAIN
Call the shop if you have any question. If carts are not allowed on the course, the matches will be cancelled.
TEMPORARY SUSPENSIONS OF PLAY
This guideline was developed in cooperation with the Pro Shop. From the time the horn sounds, we will allow for a maximum of a 90 minute delay (depending on the actual time) before calling or resuming play. If there is a second delay, it will be a maximum of 60 minutes. Teams are required to finish the matches if play resumes. See rules in section titled “Playing Shorthanded ~ Substitutes” apply. When play has been cancelled, if 75% of the teams have completed play, those results will stand, while the remaining 25% of the field will split the remaining points of their match.
PLAYING SHORTHANDED ~ SUBSTITUTES
Occasionally, teams will be forced to play short one team member. We urge each of you to do your best to fill that opening with a substitute. Please notify the Pro Shop prior to them writing up the cards Thursday morning. If you are forced to play short two players, the remaining two players must split up and play as singles. Any team who is short three team members for their Thursday match will automatically drop two positions in the standings at the end of the regular season. Should it ever happen a second time further penalties may occur. The opponents two-man team will receive the maximum number of points any two-man team posted that day. One option may be to ask a Thursday night player to play as many holes as possible before his regular league match begins.
We have included a substitute list below, however, all regular and senior members are eligible, (no juniors) and there are no handicap requirements.
