HANDICAP REGULATIONS: POSTING SCORES
1. Post your 18-hole and 9-hole scores for all eligible rounds, whether at Grover or away. (Playing alone is not eligible for handicap
consideration.) Do so immediately after completing play if possible. Use
the Handicap Score Book in the clubhouse. Do not withhold either unusually high or unusually low scores, unless the high score is occasioned
by exceptionally poor course conditions or by a medical condition.
2. Enter a “T” with your score if the round was played as part of a major
tournament i.e. Qualifiers, Club Championship. Members playing only
nine holes (league or otherwise) should enter an "N" with their scores. Do not enter a "T" for regular weekly tournaments.
3. In reporting Away scores on the sheets provided for this purpose, include your name, the name of the course, the tees used, and both the rating and
the slope from these tees. For new and/or out of town courses it is helpful if
you also place your scorecard in the pocket of the handicap book.
4. Incomplete rounds: record as 18-hole scores if you have played at least 13
holes, as 9-hole scores if you played 7-8 holes. Take your score for each missing hole to be par plus the number of strokes to which your handicap
would entitle you to. A 15 handicap player, for instance, would take a
bogey on un-played holes rated 1 through 15, a par on holes rated 16-18.
Holes played alone must be treated as un-played holes for handicap
scoring.
5. Incomplete holes: if you have “picked up” for any purpose, your score on
the hole for handicap purposes is that which you are most likely to have
made if you finished the hole. If you picked up on the green from one foot away, for example, assume that you would need one putt; from 12 feet
assume two putts.
6. Equitable Stroke Control (ESC). For handicap purposes there is a maximum score you can record on any hole. This maximum depends on
your handicap as follows:
Handicap Maximum Score 9 or less Double bogey 10 – 19 7 20 – 29 8 30 – 39 9 40 – 49 10 50 or above 11 No handicap available 11
In tournament rounds you should not apply ESC on your tournament card. Apply it only to your handicap score.
5
TOURNAMENT RULES The following rules apply to all Buffalo Golf Club Competitions
unless noted otherwise in the tournament information. Also refer
to our Local Playing Rules for exceptions to the USGA Rules of
Golf. 1. The handicap classes for all Tournaments and Sweeps are as
follows: Class A: 0-10 Class B: 11-17 Class C: 18 and up
2. Weekly Competitions, including Sweeps, shall start on
Wednesday and end at 4:00pm on Sunday (or Monday for
designated holiday weekends)
3. Sign the appropriate registration book before you play in any
EVENT. Cards must be turned in on the day of entry. Exception:
The card may be turned in the next day if the clubhouse closes
before the member finished the round.
4. Competitions and Sweeps cards must be attested by another
member. In the case of a team EVENT, their card must be attested
by a club member who is not on the team.
5. When a player is entered in two EVENTs for the same round,
separate cards, both properly identified and attested, are required.
6. Current handicaps apply in all competitive EVENTs, even though
the competitions may have started during a previous handicap
period. The handicap book in the clubhouse is the official source
for handicaps and it overrides other handicaps (club website, etc.).
7. A member may compete several times in the week’s sweeps, but
is Eligible for only one of the prizes awarded.
8. In Certain Match Play Tournaments such as the President’s Cup,
Harvest Cup, and any others, matches must be contested within the
prescribed time or one or both players (teams) shall forfeit the
contest or be disqualified. Top man (team) in pairing is
responsible for arranging the time of the match. Circumstances
preventing such match must be reported to the Tournament
Chairman, whose decision on default or disqualification shall be
final.
6
TOURNAMENT RULES Cont.
9. In cases of ties in weekly competitions and Sweeps, the winner
shall be determined by matching cards beginning at the number
one handicap hole, then the number 2 handicap hole, and
proceeding until a winner is determined.
10. In Tournaments where members play directly against each other,
such as in the Club Championships, President’s Cup, Harvest Cup,
and others, and end up tied on the last hole, the players will
continue in a “sudden death” playoff, with handicap strokes, if
applicable, applied as in match play, hole by hole.
11. Disqualification will result if: you sign up for the same tournament
more than once on different dates, dates that don’t match
(tournament book & scorecard), signing tournament book after
starting the round, failure to have the card attested by another
member and failure to record your tournament score in the score
book.
12. All matters of dispute shall be referred to the Tournament and
Rules Committee for final resolution.
13. The scores for all Competitions and Sweeps must be submitted on
BGC tournament cards (white/blue/gold-tournaments/ green-
sweeps) in the correct box. Cards that are deposited in the wrong
box will be discarded. The “ESC” adjusted scores must be entered
into the BGC handicap book.
14. Any member who qualifies for one of the Club’s major
tournaments or a public tournament where the fee is paid
by the Club, and withdraws less than 48 hours before the
scheduled start of the tournament or after the tournament
is in progress, shall be ineligible to compete in the same
tournament the following year. However, the tournament
committee is authorized to waive this penalty after
reviewing the circumstances.
7
LOCAL PLAYING RULES
The USGA Rules of Golf and the Grover Cleveland Course Rules (as printed on the scorecard) are to be applied in membership play, except as modified by the following
rules. Also refer to our Tournament Rules for additional rules in tournament play.
1. When “winter rules” are declared or announced in effect: A ball lying in your own fairway may be lifted and cleaned, without penalty, and placed within one club length of where it originally lay, not nearer the hole, and so as to preserve as nearly as possible the stance required to play the original lie.
2. Tractor or other equipment tracks, piles of grass or topsoil, and other spots obviously damaged and to be repaired, may, after consultation and agreement with playing members, be treated as “ground under repair.” Apply USGA Rule 25.1.
3. Relief may be granted on paved or gravel cart paths that interfere with the stance or lie of the ball. Apply USGA Rule 25.1 without penalty
4. The hazards defined by red stakes are to be played by the USGA Rules pertaining to lateral water hazards. There shall be no free drop for balls that come to rest in casual water or poor ground conditions within these hazards.
8
LOCAL PLAYING RULES CONTINUED 5. If a staked tree or the stakes interferes with a
player’s stance or the area of his intended swing, the ball may be lifted without penalty
and dropped in accordance with USGA Rule 24-2b(i), Immovable Obstruction. The point on the
course nearest to where the ball lies shall be determined, which (a) is not nearer the hole, (b) avoids the interference prescribed, and (c) is not a hazard or a putting green. The player will lift, clean if desired, and drop his ball within one club length of the point on the ground that fulfills (a), (b), and (c), above.
6. Anywhere “through the green”, a ball which is embedded in its own pitch-mark in the ground, except in loose sand, may be lifted without penalty, cleaned and dropped as near as possible to the spot where it lay but not nearer the hole. (See USGA Rule 20) (“Through the green” is the whole area of the course except: a) teeing ground and putting green of the hole being played; b) all hazards on the course.) Exception: A player may not obtain relief under this Rule if it is clearly unreasonable for him to play a stroke because of interference by anything other than the condition covered by this Rule.
9
LOCAL PLAYING RULES CONTINUED
7. If casual water in a sand trap interferes with stance or swing (stroke), the following options, in sequence, are available: (1) Player may move the ball to nearest point of full relief in the sand trap, no nearer the hole, without penalty; (2) If a position of full relief is not available, then player may move the ball to nearest point of partial relief in the sand trap, no nearer the hole, without penalty; (3) If no position of relief is available in the sand trap, then the player may play the ball as it lies or, under penalty of one stroke, select the nearest point of relief outside the trap, no nearer the hole, and drop his ball within one club length of that point (may be fairway or rough).
8. Any fences and road curbs surrounding the course,
as well as the entry road (Holes 10 and 11) and any area of the parking lot are out-of-bounds. Any fences bordering the parking lot and interior roads are to be treated as immovable obstructions, not out of bounds markers.
9. Distance measuring devices, such as range finders
and GPS devices, are permitted, provided that they comply with USGA stipulations requiring that they measure only distance, not other factors such as wind or gradient.
10
LOCAL PLAYING RULES CONTINUED 10. When a player’s ball lies on the putting green,
there is no penalty if the ball or ball-marker is accidentally moved by the player, his partner, his opponent, or any of their caddies or equipment. The moved ball or ball-marker must be replaced as provided in Rules 18-2, 18-3 and 20-1. This Local Rule applies only when the player’s ball or ball-marker lies on the putting green and any movement is accidental. Note: If it is determined that a player’s ball on the putting green was moved as a result of wind, water or some other natural cause such as the effects of gravity, the ball must be played as it lies from its new location. A ball-marker moved in such circumstances is replaced.”
11. After consultation with your playing partners old
hole locations on the greens may be treated as Ground Under Repair if they are above or below ground level by the thickness of an American quarter, and the problem cannot be easily remediated. Please proceed under rule 25-1 b(iii).

WNYPLGA Tournament Information
The Buffalo Golf Club is a member of the
WNYPLGA. You are eligible to enter any/all of the
above tournaments you qualify for by age. SENIOR
tournaments are AGE 50+.
The WNYPLGA classifies golfers into
handicap flights using their USGA handicap index, not
their home course handicap. Each tournament has
different cut-offs for handicap flights. Be sure to
check the handicap information on the tournament
application and literature carefully when entering a
tournament.
The BGC will sponsor (Pay the entry fee and
Greens fees) for members to be selected by team
captains: Mike Bass is the WNYPLGA captain for
both A and B. Tom Fries is A co-captain and Ken
Hupkowicz is B co-captain. The Club will also
support members to play in the Class C Individual
Championship being played at Grover Cleveland by
paying the tournament entry fee.
All tournaments are scratch. There are flights
with tournaments so even though you play scratch you
are not competing against all golfers, only those
within your flight. As an example, the Senior
Individual, depending on entries, may have flights for
ages 50-59, 60-69, 70 and older. Each flight has
prizes. Full entry forms can be found next to our
clubhouse bulletin board. If you have any questions
talk to Paul Andruczyk.

OUR MISSION
To impact the lives of young people by
providing educational programs that build
character, instill life-enhancing values and
promote healthy choices through the game of golf. The First Tee started as a way to bring an
affordable junior golf program to youth and
communities that did not have them. What the
First Tee soon discovered was that blending the
rules of the game with life and leadership skills,
kids and teens didn’t just learn how to putt – they
were learning important values.
