Substitutes
and No-Shows
Substitutes
are allowed during regular season play.
Team points earned go to the team; individual points earned go to the
substitute. (If both team members are
not present for a team tournament, it will be an automatic forfeit for the
tournament, but scores will still count for regular season play.) When only one team member shows for play, or
if neither team member is present, a ghost substitute will be used. “Ghost” substitutes have a handicap of zero
and score bogeys on every hole. (Suggest you find a sub. Sub list will be posted on the bulletin
board.)
