Amendments to these Bylaws shall be considered at either regular meeting. An affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members present will be required for adoption.
Proposed amendments must be submitted to the Director in writing prior to the meeting. As a courtesy, however, proposed amendments should be submitted to the Secretary at as early a time as possible, to enable him to circulate the proposals to the membership for their due consideration.
(Thirty-two golfers each play fifteen games. The extra 37.5c is a buffer. This total is divided by 29 since three officers are exempt from this payment.)
(Greens Fees in the formula above is either the Casperkill 9-hole member fee(currently $15) for IBMers or Casperkill non-member fee(currently $19) for non-IBMers
(Where "adjustements" are adjustments made for
a. reduced fees for retirees, and
b. member purchase of the club's golf card)
The Treasurer will set aside the greens fees amount, match prize amount and an amount to cover the costs and expenses of the organization, including but not limited to checking account charges. The remainder of the dues will be available for League prizes and social activities.
Number of Unplayed Matches Remaining at Time of Member Succession ---------------------------- x Total League Dues Total Number of Matches
The list is then grouped into groups of 8 (1-8, 9-16, 17-24, etc.). The 1-8 ranking members' names are placed in the hat and drawn, the first drawn is on team 1, second drawn is on team 2, and so on. The 9-16 ranking members' names are placed in the hat and drawn, the first drawn is on team 1, second drawn is on team 2, and so on. This process continues until all teams are filled.
If a player has not played at least ten games before playing on a given night, that night's score is included in the handicap used for that night's point determination.games played ------------ 1 - Use the score 2-3 - Use all but the highest score 4-8 - Use all but the 2 highest scores 9 - Use all but the 3 highest scores 10+ - Use all but the 4 highest of the last 10 scores
The gross score for the late arrival is determined by adding a penalty of nine strokes to his established average gross score (half adjusted and truncated to an integer). This score must be allocated on a per-hole basis to allow the computation of match points to be awarded. The first thirty-six strokes are allocated according to par for each hole. All remaining strokes in excess of thirty-six are then allocated in succession to holes in order of decreasing difficulty. If more than nine strokes are to be allocated, the sequence of holes returns to begin again with that of greatest difficulty until all strokes have been allocated. Match points are then awarded as if the absent player had made these scores. His handicap is applied in the usual manner for the purpose of this calculation.
Example: Gross Average 60.530
Gross Score = Gross Average (half adjusted) + penalty = 61 + 9 = 70
Allocation = Gross Score - Par = 70 - 36 = 34
These 34 strokes are allocated 3 per hole plus 7 in order of decreasing difficulty.
Hole # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Total --------------------------------------------------------------- Par 5 4 3 4 5 4 4 3 4 = 36 3 / hole 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 = 27 Remainder 1 1 1 1 - - 1 1 1 = 7
Score 9 8 7 8 8 7 8 7 8 = 70
The rough surrounding either hazard shall be considered to be part of the hazard when applying this rule; therefore, a ball deemed to be unplayable in rough so identified is subject to the penalties described above.
If a provisional ball is not played and the original ball is lost, the player must return to the spot from which the original shot was played, and play his next stroke from that spot with a penalty of one stroke (shooting 3).
A member must have played in three-quarters of the matches to be eligible for individual prizes.
Prizes are awarded in the order first prizes (a) through (e), then second prizes (a) through (e). No member may receive more than one individual prize. If a member merits a prize but is already receiving one earlier in the award sequence, then the next-best member in that category will receive the prize.
If two or more members tie for first or second place in a given category, then each of them will receive a prize. If a tie exists for first place, then no second place prize(s) will be awarded.
The formula for calculating the most improved rating uses the last season's gross average as its basis. Improvement is determined on a percentage basis. Last season's gross average must be based on three-quarters of the League season.
A player's improvement rating is calculated as
Current Year's Gross Average - Par ------------------------------------- Previous Year's Gross Average - Par
The player with the lowest improvement rating is the most improved.
