Rules and HCP

Regler för golfspel 
Grunden för Regler för Golfspel revideras med jämna mellanrum. Den senaste mycket omfattande, revisionen gäller från 2019. De nya reglerna innehåller nya termer och definitioner om vad de olika områdena på banan kallas och också flera nya sätt som spelet ska spelas på. Reglerna har också fått en ny struktur. Det finns nu 24 regler mot tidigare 34.

The new rules are described in the following documents:

Rules of Golf. Player's edition. In Swedish in A6 format. Can be purchased at the competition desk. 40 SEK

Rules for the game of golf. In Swedish in A5 format. It is slightly more detailed than the player edition. Can be purchased at the competition expedition. 70 SEK

Official Guide to the Rules of Golf. In English. In-depth comments on the Rules. Instructions for competitions (Committee Procedures). Examples of wording of Local Rules.

App from R&A (Black icon) Swedish can be selected as language. Contains everything from the books above. Can be downloaded for FREE.

The R&A website contains the same as point 4 above. See also the link below.

Handicap
Svenska golfförbundet kräver att alla klubbar har en kommitté som granskar och justerar alla medlemmars handicap, annars kan klubbens samtliga medlemmar bli avvisade från tävlingar på andra banor. Granskningen kommer att utföras vintertid och baseras på uppgifter i GIT.

Markering av våra banor
Markeringen av våra banor sker innan banorna öppnas på våren. Vid behov kan det bli aktuellt att ändra på vissa markeringar även under en spelsäsong. Därför kan det ibland bli så att banguiden inte stämmer med den faktiska banmarkeringen. Banguiden kommer i så fall att uppdateras till kommande säsong. Banguider finns för nedladdning under respektive bana.

Lokala regler
Det finns lokala regler som gäller hela säsongen och tillfälliga som bara gäller tidvis.

Öijared's local rules shall describe what is special for our courses. Our local rules are revised before each season and must be approved by the GGF. They must not conflict with the Rules of Golf.

Öijared's temporary local rules are not decided by the referee committee but by the club's match official. The playing official also has the right to close the entire course for play if he/she cannot protect the course sufficiently by means of a temporary local rule and MUA markings. These rules are posted on the notice board inside the clubhouse and at the first tee. The competition management of an official club competition also has the right to issue temporary local rules, e.g. position improvement and MUA markings, of which they must inform all players.

Regelvandring
Under året planerar vi ett antal regelvandringar utomhus där vi går igenom olika spelsituationer med tillhörande tillämpningar av reglerna. Dessa vandringar kommer att annonseras i tävlingskalendern på golf.se på samma sätt som Öijareds tävlingar. Anmälan sker då som på tävlingar.

If any group would like a rules walk or a rules lesson, please contact the Rules and HCP section.

Handicaprevision
Den årliga handicaprevisionen är genomförd.

It is desirable that we register all rounds played as the PCC (Playing Conditions Calculation) is reapplied. In order to be able to influence the PCC calculation, rounds should be registered on the day they are played.

In case of bad and poor weather conditions, our game results will be worse than normal. The PCC then recalculates the results, reducing the number of strokes by 1-3 units, depending on the registrations made. The more players who register their achieved score, the better the weather conditions are reflected and the handicap calculation is affected.

In very favorable conditions, the PCC calculations add max. 1 stroke to the achieved results.

As you can see, it is important to record our rounds played. This way, we all get a fairer game score, which means we're all playing on as level a playing field as possible!

Handicap rounds are all games that include min. 9 holes played according to the rules of golf. This applies to all players now, regardless of hcp. Previous hcp groups are removed.

If a round is interrupted for e.g. darkness, thunder, illness etc., points are added to your score. If you play 9 holes, 17 points are added to your result. If you play 10-13 holes, the same procedure applies, i.e. 1 point is deducted from your ideal score on the remaining, unplayed holes. Or 1 stroke is added to your net pair for play on the remaining holes. If you play 14 holes or more, net par or 2 points/hole are added to your played score.

Info about the hcps system can be found in "My Golf" under "Rules and handicaps".

If you've had a long break from golf, a single revision can be made during the year. Likewise, in the event of a change in physical or medical conditions or any similar problem.

Should you make a mistake when registering your result, this can be deleted and then re-registered. Can be done by the club or hcp manager with access to GIT.
