2023 Swing Fore Charity Golf Tournament Rules

  • IN ORDER TO SPEED UP PLAY, THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE SCORE ON A HOLE IS ONE OVER PAR.
  • IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE OVER PAR, PICK UP YOUR BALL. WE’D LIKE TO FINISH IN 4 HRS.
  • All Par 3 Holes Have Hole-In-One Prizes. (Players must tee off at the indicated tee boxes to be eligible)
  • Closest to Pin (no mulligans) & Straightest Drive contests require a pre-purchased $20 SUPER TICKET
  • Straightest Drive (winner $50): Golfer with the straightest drive in the fairway. Drive must be at least 180 yards from the white tees.
  • Closest To Pin (winner $50): Golfer closest to the pin, ball must be on the green.
  • Maximum of 2 Mulligans/player and cannot be used for putts.
  • Tournament format is a Captain’s Choice Scramble. This means that all team members tee off on each hole and then decide which tee shot they like best and mark the spot. Men tee off from the white tees and ladies from the red tees. Anyone 70 and over may use the yellow tees.
  • The other team members pick up their balls and place them within one club length (no closer to the hole) of the marked spot. Each team member must hit their next shot from there.
  • If the ball you choose to play is in a hazard (sand, water, etc.), the rough, or out of bounds, you cannot drop the ball outside of the hazard or rough, even if relief is within one club length away.
  • This procedure is followed on every shot for the remainder of the hole, including putts.
  • Putts need to be placed within 3 inches of the marked spot (no closer to the hole). The first ball to go in the hole is counted for the team score. You can pick up putts inside the leather.
