Tournaments of Champions (TOC)

Our season-ending tournament is the Tournament of Champions, better known as the “TOC” and is held usually in September.

How can you play in the TOC?

1) You can qualify by either:

Winning your flight during a season tournament
Be one of the top 5 spots on the Gilliam Points at the end of the season who have not won a tournament. A non-winner can qualify for the TOC up until the tournament just before the TOC. An indicator of a non-winner is to look at the Gilliam Points for the top 5 players who don’t have “TOC” next to their names.

Either qualification allows you to play the TOC at a reduced rate. Note that you are not automatically entered into the TOC – you still have to sign up to play.

2) If you have not otherwise qualified…

You may be able to play in the tournament if there are spots available.
The entry fee will be at the full course rate.
You will not be crowned the TOC Champion even if you come in with low net.
You are eligible to win and/or cash in your flight.

	Tournament Winner During Season	Top 5 non-winner on Gilliam Points	Not Qualified
Can Play?	yes	yes	yes
Entry Fee	reduced rate	reduced rate	full course rate
Eligible to win/cash in flight?	yes	yes	yes
Eligible as TOC Champion?	yes	yes	no

Misc notes…

The low net score for all flights combined during the TOC will be crowned the TOC Champion and will have their name engraved on the perpetual plaque displayed at Poplar Creek (near the posting computer). The champ will also get free entry into the following year’s TOC.
Prize money earned during the TOC is not reflected in the Gilliam Points in either the current or next season.

Rules: Match Play – Putt out of Order

In Match Play, Player A’s ball is on Player B’s line of putt. Player B requests Player A to lift his ball under Rule 22-2. Instead of complying with the request, Player A putts out of turn.

Does Player A lose the hole for a breach of Rule 22-2 or does Rule 10-1c apply, in which case there would be no penalty but Player B would have the right to require Player A to replay the stroke in correct order?

[toggle title_open=”Hide Answer” title_closed=”Show Answer” hide=”yes” border=”yes” style=”default”]

If Player A wants to be unsportmanlike and putt out of turn, he can do so without penalty. However, in Match Play, Player B can ask Player A to mark and replay the putt.

Rule 22-2 – Except when a ball is in motion, if a player considers that the ball of another player might interfere with his play, he may have it lifted. Except on the putting green, a player may not lift his ball solely because he considers that it might interfere with the play of another player. If a player lifts his ball without being asked to do so, he loses the hole in Match Play (two stroke penalty in stroke play).

Rule 10-1c – Playing Out of Turn – If a player plays when his opponent should have played, there is no penalty, but the opponent may immediately require the player to cancel the stroke so made and, in correct order, play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played.

Rules: One club or two, what to do?

How do you know when to take one or two club lengths as part of your relief?

Careful, you will be penalized two strokes if you drop incorrectly.

[toggle title_open=”Hide Answer” title_closed=”Show Answer” hide=”yes” border=”yes” style=”default”]One club for non-penalty situations where you are given free relief such as relief from a staked tree.

Two clubs for penalty situations such as dropping from a water hazard.

So…

1 club = relief (no-penalty) situation
2 clubs = penalty situation[/toggle]
