Always confirm scores with the person you are scoring as well as the person being scored by you after each hole. If there's a dispute in scoring, mark down both scores and bring up the issue to a member of the TGN committee at the end of the round.

without penalty, one club length no closer to the hole.
- If your golf ball is in play but you cannot get a swing on it (ex. You are stuck by a tree) you have
three options:
1. Move the ball one club length, no closer to the hole and take a one
stroke penalty.
2. Move the ball as far back, in line with the flag, and take a one
stroke penalty.
3. Take the ball back to where you hit your last shot and take a one
stroke penalty.
- If a man made object is in the way of your swing, you may take the closest relief, no closer to the
hole without penalty.
Stakes:
Provisional ball / No Satkes: At any point on the golf course, if you have hit your ball into an
area where you are not sure you will find your ball and there are no stakes, please hit another
shot from the same spot. Please indicate to your group that you are playing a provisional ball
and the type of ball along with an identifier on the ball. (Ex. I am playing provisional,
Taylormade 3) or (provisional Taylormade with a blue dot). If you find your first shot, you may
play it and pick up your provisional ball. If you have not found your first ball you must play your
provisional ball with a one stroke penalty.
White stake: If you have hit your ball into a white staked hazard, your next
shot must be hit from the same place you hit your last with a
1 stroke penalty. Even if you find your ball in the hazard, it is
deemed out of bounds and unplayable.
- Red stake: If you have hit your ball into a red staked hazard, you may
drop your ball at the point of entry, two club lengths, no closer
to the hole with a 1 stroke penalty. If you find your ball in the
hazard, you may play it but you cannot ground the golf club.
- Yellow stake: If you have hit your ball into a yellow staked hazard, you
have three options:
1. If you find the ball in the hazard you may play it without grounding your club.
2. If your ball is lost, you can take the point of entry and drop your ball in line with the flag going as far
back as you’d like with a one stroke penalty.
3. If your ball is lost you may hit your next shot from the same place you hit your last shot with a one
stroke penalty.
Relief:
- If you have hit your ball into a puddle, divot or repair area, you may clean the ball and take relief without penalty, one club length no closer to the hole.
Best Ball rules:
You and your partner must play your own golf balls throughout the round - Even if your partner is on track to make a better score than you on any given hole, you must still play your ball out and finish the hole
