Rules And Information
Welcome to the Detroit Advertising Golf League rules page.
Match play. 2 man teams will play each other for points. A and B players from each team will be matched up according to handicap.
Individual Matchups - 2 points per hole (1 point each for a tied hole). 4 extra points to match winner (2 points each for a tie)
Team Matchups - 4 points per hole (2 points per team in a tie). 8 extra points to match winner
Breakfast balls are allowed off the first tee (and only off the first tee, no saving this for other holes) for individuals who couldn't make it to the range. This is based on the honor system, so please don't take advantage.
Fluffing - if the ball is not on the green players are allowed to move a ball 6 inches or less in any direction except toward the hole.
Play all holes out, do not pick up unless you finish or unless you/your opponent concedes the hole. Gimmes are at the discretion of your matchplay opponent (don't be assholes)

Power Line (hole 26) - if your ball hits a power line you can retake the shot without penalty
