Rules & Procedures

 

The Board of Directors of the Simi Hills Men’s Golf Club, after much discussion and consideration, hereby adopts the following resolutions:

 

TOURNAMENTS:

 

  • Once a Member has committed to play in a tournament, home or away, and the cut-off date for that tournament has passed, that Member shall be responsible for the entry fee for that tournament unless a Member from the waiting list, if any, takes his spot in the tournament.
  • A Member who commits to play in a tournament, home or away, and fails to pay his entry fee for that tournament (the Unpaid Entry Fee) shall be precluded from entering another tournament until the Unpaid Entry Fee is paid in full.
  • COURSE DROP ZONES: Unless specifically noted in the rules for a club tournament. During all HOME tournament play, drop zones will not be used, even if the course has established an area marked as a drop zone.

 

 

BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES:

 

The intent is to avoid any action(s) that could reflect negatively on our club while we are on a golf course for a club event.  This behavior would include but not be limited to the below;

  • Racial or homophobic slurs
  • Throwing of golf clubs or golf equipment
  • Damaging the golf course, golf carts or the golf course equipment
  • Physical intimidation or actions towards anyone
  • Repeated offenses could result in suspension from club events and even expulsion from the club.

 

 

SUNDAY SKINS GAME RULES:

 

  • Sunday Skins registration is now completed on-line
    • Registration opens the at 12:00PT Sunday one week prior to the actual skins day.  Only members can sign up themselves and other members and a phone call needs to be made to the golf course the Friday before should you want to register a guest to play with you.
  • The primary tee for the Skins game remains the gold tees
  • The maximum handicap is 27 for everyone

SPECIAL EVENTS:

 

  • We have enabled the ability to purchase the side games as Add-ons during the registration process on-line
    • This is not mandatory as we will continue to have envelopes at the tournament
    • You can sign up on-line for just the tournament and then edit your registration and add the additional side games at any time up to the Sunday prior to the tournament
    • Purchasing these Add-ons on-line significantly reduces the liability to the club, tournament director, and helps greatly speed up payment to the members
  • Filling Out the Special Events Envelopes: A Member wishing to enter the optional tournament special events (Skins & Closest-To-The-Pin and or Honey Pot) must (i) fill out the special events envelope legibly and correctly (i.e., contain the Member’s name(s) and have the appropriate boxes checked), (ii) include the correct amount in the envelope and (iii) deposit the envelope in the tournament box prior to teeing off. All Skins and Closest-To-The-Pin special events envelopes deposited into the tournament box that are illegible or do not include a name or do not have boxes checked correctly or contains the incorrect amount, will (a) be returned to the Member or (b) in the event the envelope does not contain a Member’s name, added to the Skins and Closest-To-The-Pin prize fund as determined by the Tournament Director.

Any Member that (a) fails to legibly record his name and the distance in feet and inches or (b) records a distance in the pin book but has not filed out a special events envelope prior to teeing off, or (c) records a distance under the wrong flight, will be disqualified from the Closest-To-The Pin special event. In addition, a Member that records a distance in the pin book but has not filed out a special events envelope prior to teeing off or records a distance under the wrong flight, will be issued a warning that subsequent violations may result in the suspension of privileges to participate in future special events.
