Board and Rules Committee.  The composition is:  Adam Humphrey, Jeffrey Hardesty, Mark Singer, Jeff Wair, John Kirshenbaum, Mike Gries, and Shade Newman.  The Rules Committee has the sole authority to add, modify, or delete rules with a majority vote of the Committee.  The Committee shall be guided by the need to keep the rules as static as possible, and only change where there is a clear need, and the change protects the integrity of the game/field.

 

Secretary and Treasurer.  Jonathan Stockstill is the Secretary and Treasurer of the Brew Crew.

 

Game.  $15.00 a man broken down as follows:

• $10 for Stableford Points

• $4 for skins

• $1 for gross par 3’s

• There is a $5 tax overall (out of total pot) built into the payout scheme that feeds the hole in one pot

 

Hole in One.  A member must have 10 rounds played with the Brew Crew to qualify for $300.00 for a hole in one.  If a member makes a hole in one, but does not have 10 rounds played, Brew Crew will cover half of the player’s tab not to exceed $80.00.  If there are multiple holes in one in each round, each player would receive $300.00 or split the pot if it is below the total amount of the payoff.

 

Scoring.  Scores shall be recorded as follows:

• Hole in One – 5 points

• Eagle – 4 points

• Birdie -3 points

• Par – 2 points

• Bogey – 1 point

• Double Bogey – 0 Points

• Triple or worse – Minus 1 point

 

Rules.  The USGA Rules of Golf apply.  In addition/amplification:

• We DO play stoke and distance.  Tee it up again, if you think your drive is out.

• If we play it down, it’s down.

• We putt it out.

• If we’re rolling it, you may move the ball within one scorecard of the original position, but you must stay in the same condition, e.g. if you’re in the rough, it must remain in the rough.

• If you are in a penalty area (hazard), you may not move the ball a scorecard.  You may take a penalty stroke under the USGA Rules of Golf and drop the ball accordingly.  You may pick up the ball in a penalty area to identify it placing the ball back the way it was found in accordance with the USGA Rules of Golf.

• Bunkers – Revised (June 2024) to play bunkers as it lies unless the ball comes to rest in a footprint or animal print.  

• Guests.  Any member is entitled to bring in a guest to play without prior approval of the Brew Crew provided the following criteria are met:

• The sponsoring member validates the guest’s handicap.

• Guests are allowed to participate in 2 rounds of Brew Crew golf as a guest for future membership vote

• New Members.  Any member may propose a new member for Brew Crew providing the following process is followed:

• Brew Crew Member proposes a potential member to one of the Board and Rules Committee Members.

• The Board and Rules Committee Member receiving the proposal will gather the remaining Board and Rules Committee members via email, in person or by teleconference.

• New membership will be derived from a Majority Vote of the 7 Board and Rules Committee members.  Those members may/may not reach out to other players to obtain further information about the nominee to assist in their vote.

• An existing member can also be dismissed from Brew Crew with a majority vote from the Rules Committee 

• Official Brew Crew Game. Any scheduled game with a minimum of 4 players constitutes an official game, including the hole in one.  When Brew Crew members travel outside of Diamondhead to play, the Hole in One Pot is not in play, however, the points earned in the “Travel” rounds will be part of the cumulative average of the last 5 rounds determining your current point status.
