THE ROUNDUP

LADIES’ LEAGUE The Ladies’ League, the largest coordinated league on the Mountain, meets Tuesday mornings throughout the year for 18 holes of fellowship and competitive golf. During the fall and spring, the league has a Shotgun start each Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. During December and January the league Shotguns at 10:00 a.m. weekly. League participants play a different game format (Stableford scoring) each week. Rotating between all seven golf courses each week helps keeps competition fresh and engaging. League participants pay a $110 one-time league fee which covers weekly payouts, hole-in-one pot, and opening and closing luncheons. The Ladies’ League season kicks off with an opening luncheon on Wednesday, November 6 and closes with a luncheon on Tuesday, April 14, 2020. For more information or to sign up for Ladies’ League, visit the member website or contact the league coordinator at [email protected].

MEN’S LEAGUE The Men’s League, the largest and most inclusive weekly men’s group on the Mountain, meets Monday mornings throughout the year. Weekly league play kicks off with tee times beginning at 8:30 a.m. fall–spring, and times beginning at 8:00 a.m. during the summer months. Similar to the Ladies’ League, the Men compete in different game formats on different golf courses each week. League participants range in skill level from 0-35 handicaps and play from the Red-Blue tees. In general, players are grouped on a weekly basis with similarly skilled players competing from the same tees. The weekly league fee is $10 (cash) with all money paid out to individual and team winners. Whether you are looking to compete, socialize, or meet new friends, the Men’s League is for you! For more information or to sign up for Men’s League, visit the member website or contact the league coordinator at [email protected].

LADY 9-HOLERS & PAR SEEKERS The Lady 9-Holers & Par Seekers meet Tuesday mornings throughout the year. During the fall and spring the league has a Shotgun start each Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. During December and January the league Shotguns at 10:00 a.m. weekly. The Lady 9-Holers play 9-holes each week whereas the Par Seekers play 18-holes. Compared to the Ladies’ League, the Lady 9-Holers & Par Seekers emphasize the social aspects of golf, and thus, prefer a low-pressure, non-competitive playing environment. Although the league coordinator may provide a game for the group, there is no official scoring or weekly payouts distributed for either league. There is no annual league fee or weekly buy-in for the Lady 9-Holers or Par Seekers.

CLOSURES

SUSPENSION/CANCELLATION OF PLAY POLICY The Desert Mountain professional staff will act in accordance with the spirit of Rule 1 and Section 6E by understanding that the constraint of not being able to control the scheduling for golf courses on which we play puts us in “exceptional circumstances.” Therefore, we will establish the following policy, so that when these exceptional circum-stances occur, our decisions will be made in accordance with equity.

When a cancellation occurs for tournaments other than the Men’s and Ladies’ Member/ Member, the Rattler, Mountain Magic and Mountain Mania, scores will be judged against the lowest number of holes completed by all players in a division. The process allows completion of the maximum number of holes by all players in one division.

While all players will play the same number of holes, they will most likely not all play the same holes. When that happens, their net scores against par for the holes they played will determine the division winners and runners-up. The net scores will be determined by applying their handicap strokes according to the stroke-play handicap allocations.

Tie-breakers for less than a “stipulated round” of 18 holes will follow the USGA guidelines for a stipulated round of golf:

• If a competition is more than 9 holes but less than 15, ties will be broken by using the last 6 holes first; then the last 3; then the last hole played back to the first hole played.

• If a competition is more than 15 holes but less than 18, ties will be broken by using the last 9 holes first; then the last 6; the last 3, etc.

Suspension of play because of dangerous situations:

Each situation will be evaluated individually and will be resolved by discussions between the Director of Golf and the Desert Mountain professional staff. Member safety is never to be jeopardized by returning to the course prematurely. For example, if the course has been cleared because of lightning, the decision whether to return to the course depends upon the weather that day and the time of day of the interruption.
