Rules

• This invitational tournament is a 2 day event with 36 holes on Saturday and 18 holes on Sunday. This year's tournament will be at Turtle Hill Golf Course in Muenster, TX. ​​

​

• The Tequila 9 will take place on the back 9 of the second round.​

​

• This is a Hacker's tournament so don't be coming in here shooting 70s or better. This is a quick way to get the boot. We all suck and you should too. We play with legit handicaps to keep the game fair. 

General Rules

These are the governing rules for the the 3G Invitational. All rules were agreed upon with a majority vote by The Board. Any future changes must be approved by The Board with a majority vote. We can get some wings and beer and discuss it in further depth to speed up the process. Bribery works too. 

​

• Each player entry is $235. This covers lodging for 2 nights, and your Green Fees. The entry fee is required to secure your spot.  NO REFUNDS - the only exception is if we are able to make an approved substitution.

​

• Each player must bring a nice "gift" which will be distributed at the conclusion of Sunday's round. Gifts should have a $30-$50 Value. They can be booze, golf related, or even a gift card. 

​

• Double Par stroke limit on each hole. This helps us not suck to the fullest extent of our abilities. 

​

• Each player gets 1 mulligan per Round. Mulligans may be used on any shot, except a putt. Sorry not sorry you can't purchase additional mulligans....you're lucky we are giving you one. 

​

• There is a driving range so there will be no Breakfast Balls given.  

​

• OB is OB! Even if you're able to find your ball it will be a one stroke penalty. 

​

• Winter rules. This means you can roll your ball over on the fairway within 6 inches. This only applies on the fairway and surrounding rough. This applies if your ball lands in an area with a poor, muddy lie or accumulates a lot of mud as they roll out.

​

• We know golf equipment isn't cheap and until the OE Brands want to sponsor our bags we will use a 2 club limit on shitty lies or impeded swings like a tree, stump, rock, cart path etc. No closer to hole. You are NOT allowed you to move your ball out of the weeds, water or other hazard. This rule only applies to a scenario where you would damage your club, not to get you out of trouble.

​

• Each group must keep up with all player's scores. Any falsification of the scorecard will result in a 3 stroke penalty. If The Board determines the cheating is bad enough we will add a 5 shot penalty of Tequila from your shoe.​​

​

• Play will be from white tees for all rounds.

​

• In order to speed up play, "Gimmee Putts" will be awarded for putts less than 18 inches. If you refuse the gimme and miss the putt then the stroke counts.​

​

• In the event of a tie, the winner will be decided on the most combined birdies/eagles in the first two rounds. If still a tie, most pars in the first two rounds. If still a tie, coin flip. We all suck so I doubt there will be many birdies or especially eagles.

​​

• Rain Rule - This is an official tournament when all players have completed 18 of the same holes. If we happen to play less than 54 holes, then the official score is determined by the number of holes that all players have completed. If less than 18 holes are completed, then all scores are negated and we will gather to play one round of 18 at a local course in DFW.

​

• The trophy will be awarded to the winner and it will be kept for 1 year. The trophy is expected back at following year's 3G Invitational. If you are unable to attend you must get the trophy to a Board Member. Winner must make a modification to the trophy. This could be the addition of something or any repair that is necessary. Winner is also tasked with getting they're name plate put on the trophy.
