The players signed-up to play will be divided into two teams that will stand throughout the three rounds. Each event is a different form of match play against the opposite team: i.e. alternate shot between you and your partner; best ball between you and your partner, and individual match play. You may play in just one event or all three. If the number of players on a team are not of an even number, or cannot be paired because of uneven numbers, that person or team will sit out for that round. Those that have to sit out will be determined by handicap pairings. A player is only charged for the number of rounds in which she participates. Winnings are determined by number of rounds in which player participates.

These two players will then be eligible to play in the 2013 Arizona Women’s Golf Association State Medallion Tournament.

HANDICAP RULES
Each score entered into the Arrowhead computer through the
ezlinksgolf.com system will be used to determine the individual bi- monthly USGA handicap index.
If you play in a tournament or simply play at another course, you may: - Record your score with your index number on the “away course” computer, or;
- Post your “away score” in the Arrowhead computer.
There is an option for posting away scores in the computer which requires you to input the course’s rating and slope. Your handicap changes according to the slope rating at each course.
Certain tournaments will have scores posted as Tournament scores (T score). (See the Calendar of Events.)
If you exceed ESC (Equitable Stroke Control) limits, mark a dot(s) equivalent to the excess on your card at the appropriate hole and subtract such dots from your score before posting.
16
The ESC sets a maximum score that a player can post on any hole depending on the player’s course handicap.
EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL LIMITS
Your Course Handicap Maximum Score on Any Hole 9 or less Double bogey 10 - 19 7 20 - 29 8 30 – 39 9 40 – 49 10 50 and above 11
As an example, if your handicap is 26, then the most strokes you may take on a hole for posting purposes is an 8. You may not exceed an 8 on any hole. It is, therefore, possible that a player could have an 8 on each of the 18 holes for posting purposes.

WHO SAID GOLF IS COMPLICATED?
Once a player has mastered the grip and stance, all he has to bear in mind, in the brief two-second interval it takes to swing, is to keep his left elbow pointed in toward the left hip and his right arm loose and closer to the body than the left and take the club head past his right knee and then break the wrists at just the right instant while the left arm is still traveling straight back from the ball and the right arm stays glued to the body and the hips come around in a perfect circle and meanwhile everything is mucked up unless the weight is 60 percent on the left foot and 40 percent on the right - not an ounce more or less - and at just the right point in the turn the left knee bends in toward the right in a dragging motion until the left heel comes off the ground but not too far and be sure the hands are over the right foot but not on the toe more than the heel except that the left side of the right foot is tilted off the ground - but not too far - and be sure the hands at the top of the swing are high and the shaft points along a line parallel with the ground and if its a downhill lie the shaft is supposed to be pointed downhill too and pause at the top of the swing and count one, jerk the left arm straight down like a bell ringer yanking a belfry rope and don't uncock the wrists too soon and pull the left hip around in a circle but don't let the shoulders turn with the hips - they have to be facing the hole and now transfer the weight 60 percent to the left foot and 40 percent to the right - not an ounce more or less - and tilt the left foot now so the right side of it is straight (that's the one you hit against) watch out for the left hand, it's supposed to be extended, but not too stiff or the shot won't go anywhere and don't let it get loose or you will hook, then let the wrists uncock but don't force them or you'll smother the shot and don't break too soon but keep your head down then hit the ball ! .

$20 entry fee November 27 & December 11 RYDER CUP Tournament consists of three different rounds of match play events played throughout the season. The players signed-up to play will be divided into two teams that will stand throughout the three rounds. Each event is a different form of match play against the opposite team: i.e. alternate shot between you and your partner; best ball between you and your partner, and individual match play. You may play in just one event or all three. If the number of players on a team are not of an even number, or cannot be paired because of uneven numbers, that person or team will sit out for that round. Those that have to sit out will be determined by handicap pairings. A player is only charged for the number of rounds in which she participates. Winnings are determined by number of rounds in which player participates.

These two players will then be eligible to play in the 2013 Arizona Women’s Golf Association State Medallion Tournament. The Vice President will keep a list of players in order of the gross and net scores so if necessary an alternate can be chosen to play in the tournament. The LGA pays for the participants’ entry fee into this tournament at the State level. 2012 winners will play December 3rd at Sun Lakes in Chandler.

HANDICAP RULES
Each score entered into the Arrowhead computer through the
ezlinksgolf.com system will be used to determine the individual bi- monthly USGA handicap index.
If you play in a tournament or simply play at another course, you may: - Record your score with your index number on the “away course” computer, or;
- Post your “away score” in the Arrowhead computer.
There is an option for posting away scores in the computer which requires you to input the course’s rating and slope. Your handicap changes according to the slope rating at each course.
Certain tournaments will have scores posted as Tournament scores (T score). (See the Calendar of Events.)
If you exceed ESC (Equitable Stroke Control) limits, mark a dot(s) equivalent to the excess on your card at the appropriate hole and subtract such dots from your score before posting.
16
The ESC sets a maximum score that a player can post on any hole depending on the player’s course handicap.
EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL LIMITS
Your Course Handicap Maximum Score on Any Hole 9 or less Double bogey 10 - 19 7 20 - 29 8 30 – 39 9 40 – 49 10 50 and above 11
As an example, if your handicap is 26, then the most strokes you may take on a hole for posting purposes is an 8. You may not exceed an 8 on any hole. It is, therefore, possible that a player could have an 8 on each of the 18 holes for posting purposes.

WHO SAID GOLF IS COMPLICATED?
Once a player has mastered the grip and stance, all he has to bear in mind, in the brief two-second interval it takes to swing, is to keep his left elbow pointed in toward the left hip and his right arm loose and closer to the body than the left and take the club head past his right knee and then break the wrists at just the right instant while the left arm is still traveling straight back from the ball and the right arm stays glued to the body and the hips come around in a perfect circle and meanwhile everything is mucked up unless the weight is 60 percent on the left foot and 40 percent on the right - not an ounce more or less - and at just the right point in the turn the left knee bends in toward the right in a dragging motion until the left heel comes off the ground but not too far and be sure the hands are over the right foot but not on the toe more than the heel except that the left side of the right foot is tilted off the ground - but not too far - and be sure the hands at the top of the swing are high and the shaft points along a line parallel with the ground and if its a downhill lie the shaft is supposed to be pointed downhill too and pause at the top of the swing and count one, jerk the left arm straight down like a bell ringer yanking a belfry rope and don't uncock the wrists too soon and pull the left hip around in a circle but don't let the shoulders turn with the hips - they have to be facing the hole and now transfer the weight 60 percent to the left foot and 40 percent to the right - not an ounce more or less - and tilt the left foot now so the right side of it is straight (that's the one you hit against) watch out for the left hand, it's supposed to be extended, but not too stiff or the shot won't go anywhere and don't let it get loose or you will hook, then let the wrists uncock but don't force them or you'll smother the shot and don't break too soon but keep your head down then hit the ball ! .
