Anniston Country Club Tournament Rules
Anniston Country Club Round
FORMAT: BEST BALL
On each hole, both players on a team play their own ball until it is holed out. The lowest score of the two players counts as the team’s score on each hole.
BALL POSITION:
Before every shot, a player may lift, clean and place their ball improving their lie, no more than the LENGTH OF A SCORECARD from where their ball came to rest on the previous shot. The player may do this by either placing their ball or moving it with their golf club. A player CANNOT IMPROVE the lie of their ball in a HAZARD. A ball in any hazard must be PLAYED DOWN (as is). At no time can a player improve their ball position by moving it out of a hazard, from rough to fairway, or fringe to green. Once on the green, putts must be made from where the ball came to rest.
