New This Year · Tee Times, Not Shotgun
The field is too big for a shotgun. We are playing tee times both days, starting at 7:00 am. Know your tee time and be on the tee. Saturday's last group goes off around 2:00 pm. |

One-Day Division
Members who could only play one day are scored in a separate division. Not eligible for the flight prize pool, but still eligible for skins and deuces. |
Side Games & Optional Pools
|
Hole-in-One
There is no hole-in-one insurance this year — the cost has climbed past what makes sense for us. Here is what is on the table instead.
|
What's Still on the Line
JMC Hole-in-One Club — $4,800 for members who have joined the pool. JMC is directly sponsoring an additional $1,000 per hole-in-one for the entire men's and women's fields, all weekend. Let's get one (or more) this weekend. |
Rules & Local Rules
Current USGA Rules of Golf govern all play except as modified by the local rules in the Notice to Competitors. When in doubt, play a second ball under Rule 20.1c(3) and report to a rules official before signing your card.
Rules officials: Blake Isakson (602-321-4391) and Joe Jenson (307-760-9117).

Read Before You Play
The full local rules for the weekend — tees, out of bounds, penalty areas, animal holes, lift-clean-and-place, provisionals, and cart return — are in the Notice to Competitors.
|
The few that come up most often:
- Tees — men play the white tees unless they have established gold-tee eligibility; ladies play the red tees unless they have established blue-tee eligibility. Confirm your tee on your scorecard.
- Lift, clean, and place is in effect in the general area cut to fairway height or less — within one scorecard length, no nearer the hole.
- All putts must finish in the hole. No gimmies.
- Return your cart immediately after your round so it can be turned around for later tee times.
Pace of Play
With tee times both days, pace matters more than usual. A player or group out of position will be warned and put on the clock, and penalties may be issued after one warning.
- Ready golf is allowed in stroke play.
- 40 seconds maximum per shot.
- Figure out your club and yardage while others are playing, not when it's your turn.
- 3 minutes maximum to search for a lost ball, starting when you reach the area. Groups self-police — don't take offense when someone calls time.
- If a slow player is holding up your group, you may ask to have the group monitored.
|
Suspension of Play
One long horn — stop play immediately. Three long horns — play resumes. |
Scoring
Each group must designate one player to enter scores in the GolfGenius app. Your group's GGID is provided before the round. Keep your group's scores on a paper scorecard in tee-sheet order and enter them in the app every hole or two.
|
Check Your Card Before You Walk Away!
Go directly to the scoring area after your round with a signed card and drop it in the receptacle. Once your card is in and you leave the scoring area, the score is final. |
