Welcome to the 2005 HH Tuesday Flight!

This package contains most of the information that you'll need to get started, including your release form, schedule, and the first week's pairings. I am in the process of updating our flight web site and this information will be posted there when it’s ready. The schedule and teams found there are correct. Here are some other important details:

• Schedule: The first night of play will be May 3rd, unless the course is closed. The first match parings are here. You can click on the value in your handicap column to see your handicap sheet. We will not schedule an off-week around July 4th.
• Web-Site: The League's official web-site is http://www.hogolf.net. Weekly match results and statistics will get posted at the flight's web-site only after all match results for a given week have been submitted.
• League Fees/Prizes: League fees are $15. Failure to pay dues by our June 7th match will result in a suspension of your right to sign up next year. To simplify payment make out 1 check per team for $30 payable to G. Harabedian. In the memo section put your team number. Mail the check to me at P. O. Box 73, Red Bank, NJ 07701. I will send e-mail when I receive your check. We're going repeat last year's format - we're going to play for cash, not Top-Flites.
• Release Forms: Release forms are still downloadable. Include them with your check.
• League Rules: The rules package is available at the League's web-site. Golf within the flight is governed by the USGA Rules of Golf, except as amended by our local rules.

Please Note: The rules regarding attendance and its impact on flight selection are being strictly enforced this year!!!

• Handicaps: The maximum handicap this year is still 19.
• Match Results: All I need from you is the score card after your match. You can give me the card at the course or give me the hole-by-hole scores via e-mail the morning following play. If there's any doubt, make sure you indicate who played against whom!!! Where a team’s players have equal handicaps, they must declare before the match who is playing whom on the opposing team. Weekly match results and statistics will get posted only after all match results for a given week have been submitted.
• Match Rescheduling: We all lead complicated lives and occasionally need to miss a match. Here are your options, roughly in the order you should consider them:
• Get a substitute.
• Reschedule. For all practical purposes, the window for this is 6 days before the original match date to 6 days after. Plan to play early, so you've still got options if the first date doesn't work out.
• Partner doubles.
• Available team plays as scheduled, unavailable team matches cards using next scheduled match scores.
• Both teams match cards using next scheduled match.
• Available team plays as scheduled, unavailable team plays on a different night.
• If a match is rescheduled or play is split, a member of each team must send me an e-mail giving the new date of the match, following the 6 day guideline above. Failure to notify me by the day after the scheduled match date could result in a forfeit.
• Soft Spikes: The county courses still have a mandatory soft spikes policy.
• Tee Times: The county courses have a new county golf ID system this year. You will need to get a new card with new picture so please don’t wait until May 3 to get your card. You will need to be in possession of your new card to get a tee time. Automated tee time reservations and information are available 24 hours a day by telephone (732-758-8383) and the Internet (www.monmouthcountygolf.org). For instructions about how to make on-line reservations, check out step-by-step guide. It is reservation service rules infractions (failure to show up, show up with fewer golfers than reserved, etc) will be strictly enforced this year, and will result in loss of reservation privileges. Use the service responsibly! Fines for a no-show group are $40, payment required in order to play again.
