Just a reminder, as of January 1, 2024, the Tournament Committee has adopted a rule expanding the USGA's definition of Abnormal Course Conditions to include bunkers not raked, footprints, ruts created by water runoff or similar conditions. A ball that comes to rest against a lip, is plugged or buried is not an Abnormal Course Condition. In these situations, confirmation must be obtained from all Members in the group that one of the expanded Abnormal Course Conditions (bunkers not raked, footprints, ruts created by water runoff or similar conditions) exist. Once the Abnormal Course Condition is confirmed, the Member can pick up their ball, rake the bunker, and place the ball in the same spot it came to rest.
Tournament Chairman, Doug Owens, usually emails a tee sheet on Saturday mornings with pairings and hole assignments for Sunday's tournament. If a registered Member can't make it, needs to drop out or make a change after the tee sheet is sent, please call or text Doug instead of sending him an email. If an email is sent to Doug after the tee sheet is sent out, there's a chance Doug may not see the email. Please call or text Doug at 909-649-1963 to confirm any changes.
