Sterling Farms Men’s Club

Fellow Members,

Today is the first official day of the handicap season in Connecticut. Any round played in CT, the tri-state area , MA, NH or any state south should be posted in the GHIN system either on the pro shop computer or through the GHIN website (http://www.ghin.com/posting.shtml). Maine (4/14) and Vermont (4/15) start in 2 weeks.

Due to the course conditions at Sterling Farms, the board has enacted Winter Rules. When we finally move to Summer Rules again, we will send out an email and post it on the bulletin board at the course. Here is a reminder on what Winter Rules means to us…

• Through the green only (in the fairway or the fringe of the hole being played), after marking your ball, you are permitted to lift, clean, and place the ball within 1-club length of it’s original position, no nearer the hole

• • This is allowed once per stroke. Once the ball is placed it may not be re-lifted and re-placed.
  • Failure to mark the original position before lifting it, such as rolling it with a club, is a 2-stroke penalty or loss of hole in match play.

Currently Sterling Farms Golf Course has some temporary holes. The following is how to properly score the temporary holes for both posting in the GHIN system as well as posting on the board for weekly competitions.

Hole #3 (temporary green) [15^th handicap hole]: Must take par plus handicap allowance for both posting on the computer and on the weekend sign up sheet.

• + to 14 Course Handicap = 4
• 15 to 32 Course Handicap = 5
• 33+ Course Handicap = 6

Hole #10 (temporary tee) [6^th handicap hole]: Must take par plus handicap allowance for posting on the computer.  Must use actual score made on the weekend sign up sheet.

• + to 5 Course Handicap = 4
• 6 to 23 Course Handicap = 5
• 24+ Course Handicap = 6

Hole #15 (temporary tee) [18^th handicap hole]: Must take par plus handicap allowance for posting on the computer.  Must use actual score made on the weekend sign up sheet.

• + to 18 Course Handicap = 3
• 19 to 36 Course Handicap = 4
• 36+ Course Handicap = 5

Hole #16 (temporary tee) [14^th handicap hole: Must take par plus handicap allowance for posting on the computer.  Must use actual score made on the weekend sign up sheet.
