Player Information

A Perfect Swing, Inc. provides a non-competitive and competitive environment for individuals to learn and enjoy the game of golf.  This is an opportunity for individuals that have considered playing golf, as well as for those that are already playing golf, to come together, network, and share in the fun of playing the game.  You are responsible for your own fees charged by the facility.  The golf course is chosen randomly, so participants have the opportunity to request that outings be held at their favorite golf course.  


Play Categorization

Play is categorized into three types: Range, Networking, and Individual.


"Range" Play   During range play, attendees meet at a driving range to practice. Where the competition is just between you and the ball. This is a great opportunity to network and meet others that are interested in the game of golf. Each attendee is responsible for purchasing their own balls. This activity is open to newbie, beginners, intermediate, and advance players.       


“Networking” Play    During networking play, the attendees meet to play the game of golf at a golf course.  The “scramble” form of play will be used.  This will give attendees an opportunity to get experience playing on the course in a non-competitive environment.  This is a very common format used in charity golf tournaments and networking events, so attendees will have an opportunity to prepare for these types of situations.  Each attendee is responsible for all golf course fees.   This activity is open to beginners, intermediate, and advance players.       


What is the “scramble” format?   Golflink.com describes the scramble format as a format that involves four golfers playing as a team. Each player tees off and the team selects the best shot. Players then take their next shots from there. This continues until a ball is sunk. All holes are played this way. A scramble speeds up pace of play and allows players of all levels to compete with each other. Read more about this subject on their website by clicking here.


"Individual" Play    During individual play, attendees meet to play the game of golf at a golf course. All attendees will play their own balls.  You will need to have a handicap of less than 25 to play on these days. Each attendee is responsible for all golf course fees.  This activity is open to intermediate and advance players.

Standards of Play

Preparation  

  • All participants should finalize their RSVP 24 hours in advance of the start of the event. Anyone identified as a habitual violator of this rule will be placed on the waitlist for the next three events and confirmed within the 24 hour window prior to the start of the event. 
  • All participants should arrive with a spirit of fellowship through professional networking, while sharing in a competitive golf environment.  
  • All participants should wear golf attire.  No jeans or t-shirts.  A collared shirt is requested; however there are some acceptable shirts that do not have a collar.  Sneakers are acceptable. 
  • Participants should arrive at the posted meetup time, which is typically 30 minutes prior to the posted tee time, to ensure a timely tee off. This will allow us to get paired up and be standing on the tee box at the tee time.
  • Participants should be standing at the first hole at the tee time, unless modified by a facility representative or event organizer.  
  • All participants are encouraged to arrive 30-40 minutes prior to the meeting time, if they would like to participate in physical/swing warm ups at the driving range.  
  • All participants should inventory their golfing equipment prior to going to the first tee, to ensure you have what you need. Always have golf clubs, tees, a towel, enough balls, a ball marker, snacks, water, and a glove.  
  • Participants should put a unique identifying mark on each of their balls.  
  • Obtain cart/fairway/greens update from facility representative or event organizer.
  • Bring a few dollars in cash for tipping (food cart, bag drop).

During Play  

  • Pace of play is determined by the group in FRONT of you. Stay within one hole of the group in front of you. HIT and WALK.
  • Each golfer is allowed ONE mulligan per nine holes.
  • Please prepare to take a group photo at the beginning of the round.  
  • Limit your stop at the turn (typically between holes 9 and 10) to five minutes.
  • Keep golf carts 50 yards away from the green.
  • Walkers should keep bags out of the bunker and off the green.
  • Lines of communication to better understand golf and standards of play is always open for discussion and better understanding within every APSGA event.

On the Course   

  • There is a double par rule in effect during play. For example, if the hole is a par 4, once you have hit 8 times, you should pick up your ball, await for the others in your group to finish, and then continue to next hole.  It may be a good idea to pick up your ball at double par minus 2 and take two putts on the green for additional practice. If a golfer finds that they rarely make it to the green within the allotted strokes, please consider participating in Golf 102.
  • The USGA rule state that you have 3 minutes to look for a lost ball. If a ball cannot be found within 1-3 minutes, initiate a drop and continue play toward the green. If there is a group waiting on you, please wave them through and allow them to play.  
  • Please prepare to hit before it is your turn to hit.
  • Please limit your practice swings to 2.  Your setup over the ball should be a maximum of 15 seconds.  
  • Play “Ready” golf.  In normal play, the person furthest away from the hole goes first. Because of the pace of play, we ask that all golfers prepare to play as quickly as possible and any prepared golfer should play their shot as soon as possible.  
  • Golfers should not talk, walk, or make noises of any kind once a golfer approach their ball and prepare to hit.  
  • Golfers should not stand within two club lengths of the golfer that is hitting.
  • Be a ball spotter for fellow golfers while they are hitting. Once the ball lands, identify an unmovable object close to the ball and call it out.  
  • Record your scores on the next tee box, not while standing on the green or in the cart after you leave the green.
  • Tee off between (or up to two club lengths behind) the tee markers.
  • Play a provisional ball if you are uncertain you will find your golf ball.
  • Keep carts and bags out of the bunker and off the green.

In the Fairway

  • Repair your divots.
  • Take extra clubs to prevent multiple trips back to the golf cart.
  • When you are within 50 yards of the green, take your wedge and putter with you.

On the Green

  • Please mark your ball once it lands on the green.
  • Read the green while you are walking up or while others are putting.
  • While on the green, never walk in another golfer’s line.  To determine this line, draw an imaginary line from the ball to the hole.  
  • When a golfer is putting, other golfers should ensure that their shadow is not in the putter’s line.  It’s a good idea to make a habit of marking your ball once it lands on the green, to prevent any interference with someone else’s putt.  

In the Bunker

  • You can not ground your club in the bunker. Meaning, you should not allow your club to touch the sand prior to your shot.
  • A Perfect Swing Local Rule: You may drop your ball out of the bunker and take a two stroke penalty.  You are allowed to take the bunker out of play with your drop. 
  • Enter the bunker from the lowest side.
  • Rake the bunker after you hit.

Social

  • Please discuss music preferences with your cart mate prior to play.
  •  Play with multiple groups are encouraged, however if you are found "recruiting" members for your group, for hosting or administration purposes, and discouraging play with A Perfect Swing, you will be removed from the events site without refund.
