Free drop from all cart paths, flower beds, sheds, wildflowers & bridges. Nearest relief and drop the ball into play.

Scoring:
We will be playing in 5-somes, and each individual will be keeping their own scorecard. In addition, we are also going to be using the new Kodiak Golf App, for live scoring & results. This will be my first time using the new scoring app, but we are going to give it a shot. Not all kids will be required to have the app to enter the groups score but if want to see live results they will need to download it. Below is a link to Kodiak’s website to download the app.

Scoring Format:
Team: 18 holes – This year we are allowing each team to bring 7 kids to play, and we will count the low 4 scores on each 9 to determine the team’s score.

Individual placement will still be determined by the player’s 18-hole score.

Medals: Top 2 teams
Top 10 Individuals

Course Updates:
• This winter/spring Lake MacBride took out over 50 ash trees. While the trees are gone, none of the stumps have been removed yet. We will play no relief from the stumps.
• As part of the tree removal project, the course did plant several trees. All the mature trees have been staked and will we play those trees as free relief for stance and swing. The course also planted several sapling trees, which have a ribbon tied on them, those trees we will play free relief for stance, swing & ball flight.
