Frost Delays

In order to provide equity and fairness to both the AM Groups and the PM Groups, the New Frost Delay Policy of the Deer Valley Men’s Golf Club is as follows:

1. A frost delay of less than 1 hour will result in both the AM and PM groups playing 18 holes.
2. Frost Delays lasting MORE than One Hour:
   1. If a Frost Delay, that is to last more than one hour, falls on an EVEN NUMBERED DATE, the AM groups will play 9 holes, and the PM groups will play 18 holes.
   2. If a Frost Delay, that is to last more than one hour, falls on an ODD NUMBERED DATE, the AM groups will play 18 holes, and the PM groups will play 9 holes.

All Members (AM and PM groups) will need to call the Weather Hotline (623-544-6175, option 3) to determine when their group starts, and if they will be playing a 9 hole or 18-hole round. Please DO NOT CALL THE CLUBHOUSE, you will get the Call Center and they do not have the information. Also, an email will be sent out between 6:45-7:00am with course delays/restrictions due to weather.

 
 NINE HOLE RULES

If you start on the front nine, play your nine holes on the front nine only. If you start on the back nine, play your nine holes on the back nine only. For sweeps competition, record your actual nine hole gross score and compute your net score using your handicap on the nine holes you are playing.  Also record your adjusted gross score, if any.

Pace of Play

Ready Golf is defined as including Pace of Play and the following is recommended. WE CAN REDUCE OUR ROUNDS BY AS MUCH AS 30 MINUTES BY FOLLOWING THESE SIMPLE RULES.

ON THE TEES AND FAIRWAYS:

• Go directly to your ball and hit it, as long as no one is in your way and is not ready to hit.
• Cart driver – Go directly to your passenger’s ball and drop him off.  Immediately proceed to your own ball, hit it, and return to pick up your passenger.
• Select your club while waiting to hit.  Be ready when your turn comes.  Hit a provisional ball if you think your ball is lost or out of bounds.
• 5 minute maximum search for a lost ball.  The other players should hit before joining in the search.

ON THE GREENS:

• Putt out of turn if “away” players are not ready.  Lag up if a player is off the green and is not ready.
• Continuous putting. – Keep putting until you hole out if comfortable.
• Study your line while others are putting.  Be ready to putt.
• Proceed to the next tee immediately after holing out.  Put away your clubs and enter scores at the next tee.
