Details & Rules

Men's League Handicaps will be added to this page as participants register for league. They will be updated weekly along with the standings. If you are new and do not have a handicap you will be required to turn in 3 scorecards with 9 holes minimum. Failure to provide these scores prior to May 3rd, 2024 will result in starting with a 0 handicap. Max Handicap will be +30.

If you feel there are any errors please email leagues@atchisongolfclub.com, text or speak to a committee member so that it can be reviewed.

Each team will have a scorecard. It will be each team's responsibility to check the accuracy of both scorecards and make sure they match. If only one card is turned in, that's what results will be entered.

Matches will start at 5:30 every Thursday that we are scheduled to play. In the event of a time change or a rainout, we will send out a notification via email or phone you have provided.

We will have two divisions and all teams will either play the front 9 or back 9 each week and rotate. Each team will consist of 2 golfers. If one or both of your players can’t make it on the normal match day, you can have 1 member from your team play both opponents, find a sub with a handicap, forfeit, or play ahead. If you are aware ahead of time please communicate that to commissioner and in most cases the scorecard can be updated prior to 2:00 pm on match day.

Regular Season will Pay top 7 positions of each division and Playoffs will Pay top 5 positions. In the event of a tie, we will add weeks 1,3,6,9 total team score points to determine the ties. Should those 4 weeks still be a tie, then we'll go to 2,4,6,8, and after go to weeks 5 and 10. IF it's still a tie, we'll flip a coin.

Each match will be worth 3 points. 1 point for each individual match and then 1 point for the winning team.

We will follow USGA match play rules with adjustments for our course at Bellevue.

RED TEES: 75 & Older

GOLD TEES: 65 - 74

(These are Optional, but must stay the same through out the year.)

New Rules for 2024 and will be enforced by committee - all other rules apply

ALL Matches will be determined by the Tuesday after that week's Play (ex, wk 1 - May 9th, you will have until May 14th at dark to get the score card in. Pace of Play will be enforced - Ready Golf welcomed, 3 Minutes is the time allowed to look for your ball once you arrive to the area (your drive to the ball area is not included).

Pace of Play #2: This is men's league, not practice night. If you are out of a hole, meaning you have no chance of winning, pick up the ball and concede. You have 8 others to do better.

These are the two things that create a huge backup for us:

***Starting early or late is not acceptable.

If you are going to be late, your partner will have to start without you and you can join them when you arrive. You'll concede any holes you've missed.

If your entire group decides to start early, don't. No points will be awarded to either team. (This does not count early matches that will be completed before 5:30 pm on the day of the match.

Here are the rules adjustments for Bellevue:

Ball will be played up and can be moved 1 club length no closer to the hole, in the same cut of grass (you may improve your lie only, not your position).

Ball cannot be played up in a hazard, although current USGA rules no longer forbid grounding your club in a hazard.

On Hole 5, a drive to the right where there is a reasonable belief the ball is lost in the long grass, you may drop with a 1 stroke penalty in the drop area.

Hole 6 - Behind the green and over the cart path is out of bounds.

Hole 7 – out of bounds is the left side of the cart-path (i.e. a ball ending on the path is in-bounds. Relief is granted to nearest place in-bounds not closer to the hole).

In fairways on 9, 14 & 16, two-club length is allowed to improve lie, not position.

Any “bad spots” on the green or fringe, if in the line of your putt or chip, you may take relief as long as you notify your opponent, and they agree.

Hole 8 in the left rough, the long wet area is now marked as a hazard.

HOLE 4 AND HOLE 9 MENS LEAGUE DECIDED TO SWAP HANDICAPS.
