Golf PUNK League 2009

2009-01-09T14:47:00.017+08:00

Asalamualaikum and welcome to GolfPUNK Season 2009.
Due to popular demand, the league is activated again with a slightly different format in terms of playing during weekends.

Management
The League will be managed by a committee whose decision in all matters shall be final. All play shall be in accordance with the Rules of Golf and the Rules of Amateur Status as approved by R&A Rules Limited and the Local Rules of the host club, as approved by the Committee.

League
The League is open to all amateur golfers. The Committee reserves the right to assign handicaps as they deem fit, within reason and as allowed within the Rules of the USGA Handicapping System.

There is no limit to the number of players for the season. The Committee also reserves the rights to accept or refuse any entry without providing any reasons whatsoever.

Punk Weekend

The league will be held every fortnight on weekend mornings, beginning on the 23rd Jan 2009 & 25th Jan 2009. This is to accomodate government civil servants, businessmen, students, housewives and private company employees who cannot play at the same time.
The only time all GolfPUNKS must play together are during 'The Minors' and 'The Play-Offs'.
Points will be displayed on the League's official blog: www.golfpunks.blogspot.com the following Monday.
Prizes in the form of either cash or trophies will be given to the Top 3 Nett winners and Top 3 Gross winners.

Mode of Play
The mode of play shall be 18 holes of Strokeplay System 36.

After Week 6, all established GolfPUNK players will be given a handicap by the Committee and the following league games will then use Strokeplay as its mode of play.
Points ranging from 10 to 1 will be given to the Top 10 Nett scores of the Punk Weekend.
The remaining players who are not in the Top 10 will be given only 1 point for attendance.
The Top 3 Nett and Top 3 Gross winners are eligible to play in the season ending Play-Offs held in either November or December.

The Minors and the Play-Offs

3 Major tournaments known as The MINORS will be held every 3-4 months with The Play-Offs held as the season-ending Grand Finale.
The Minors is a slightly bigger tournament where every GolfPUNK must play at the same venue at the same time. There will be novelty prizes and lucky draws for the Minors.
The Play-Offs are only eligible for the TOP 30-ranked players in the league and also any Nett and Gross Winners during any of the Punk Weekends.
The Winner of the Play-Offs will receive a Champions Trophy and named '2009 GolfPUNK of the Year'.

Venue
Main Venue will be RBA Golf Club but may move to other golf courses according to the club's slot availability.

Asalamualaikum Punks,

Thank you for attending the 10th and final Minor event of the year, THE WEDDING at RBA Golf Club last week on Christmas day. The event was a resounding success what with nearly 40 players participating.

The new rankings along with pictures will be shown soon after Wave come's back from his horneymoon with his wife.

So on behalf of my family and also the GolfPUNK committee, i'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year and hope to see you all at the golf course next year insya-Allah.

Till then, Asalamualaikum Warahmatullah.

Who will be the GolfPUNK of the Year 2007?

2007-12-16T16:10:00.000+08:00

Asalamualaikum and greetings fellow Punks,

It's been a while since we last met and as some of you may or may not know we haven't had a GolfPUNK event in over a month.
But don't worry my friends, our resident Punk co-founder, Md Nazree aka Wave will be leaving his era of singledom next week. So in conjunction with his wedding, GolfPUNKS are proud to present to you the 10th and the last GolfPUNK event of the year 2007, THE MINOR.

Because of so many players in the league, we have decided to divide the event into 2 categories:
1.) GolfPUNKS (players who've played a minimum of 3 events) and
2.) Invitationals (players who've played LESS than 3 events)

To find out how many events you've played, click on the 'League Table link' on the sidebar.

Also for this year-end event, there will be an additional 2 points for the Top Ten finishers. Normal points will be given to the Invitational players.
If you see the latest table, the Top 16 players are all eligible to gain these extra points and they will be playing in the GolfPUNK category.

Ramadhan is upon us and everyone is happily fasting with family and friends, at home and at work and even at the golf course. So a rundown on the season so far:

- The 7 events have been a flying success with 7 different winners and currently we have a new leader, Ak Zainal Yusri also known as R&AL. Leading the league with 34 points, his nearest contender is Md Nazree who is 7 points adrift. His 7 top tens in 7 events is an amazing feat of consistency, skill and tahan lasak.

- The collection money so far is just over B$500. We will be using that for the Minors which will be held in November on the 10th event. We're also looking to find any sponsors cause we're a cheap skint league who charge members only $2 per game(Now everyone can play golf!). We accept any free donations like guni baras, EASI pre-paid cards and any part of your life-savings.
By the way, the fee for the Minor would probably increase to either $10 or $15 depending on how skint we are.

- Remember, the Minors require you to play a minimum of 4 GolfPUNK events so to see how many you've played, look at the GolfPUNK league table on the sidebar. Presently only 13 members are eligible to play in the Minors.
So because we guys at GolfPUNK are generous plus we need your kitty money to buy trophies and prizes, we are reducing the number of minimum requirements to 2. Yes, we're desperate!

- This Wednesday afternoon 26th Sept 07, at 3pm at RBA Golf Course, that hunky punk HarimauBogel is organising a 9 hole event. Winner gets Kurma and a sleeve of golf balls. For more details, ask HarimauBogel at the PUNK Chatboard!

- Next post will be: AN INTERVIEW WITH A GOLFPUNK!

Assalamualaykum and greetings fellow GolfPUNKS,

It's GolfPUNK week again and time to bring out the golf clubs and prepare battle at the RBA Golf Course for the SUNDAY SEPT SHOWDOWN.
Congratulations to our new league leader that is GolfPUNK organiser, Mohd Nazree Hj Abu Bakar aka Wave. It seems that we have a very strong and deep group of punks as there seems to be a constant change of hands on the leaderboard every week.

GolfPUNKS and other Venues.
Up to today, we have 76 GolfPUNK members in Brunei alone. We may extend our membership overseas. We've also had a lot of request from various punks asking whether we can play at Eastwood in Miri, Panaga in KB and even Pebble Beach in the US.
All are good ideas. At one time or another, we will move the venue around. Possibly Jerudong, Panaga and maybe even Eastwood. Remember the season ends in March next year so we have a long way to go.

Handicaps.
We've had one or two inquiries from punks inquiring why their handicap has drastically gone low. Well, this is what we do. Because we're not smart enough to calculate handicaps, we bought this handicap software called IntelliGolf. We input all your scores hole by hole into the software and depending on the index holes, course rating and slope rating of the course, it gives out a handicap.
The reason why your handicap has lowered is because you punks are playing well, playing under, getting pars on the index holes and generally kicking the ass out of the golf course. Be proud and happy your handicap has lowered. After all golf is about self-improvement. Not just winning those cheap medals we give out.
So if you have a problem with your new handicap, talk to the makers of IntelliGolf. If you don't like IntelliGolf, feel free to purchase for us a better handicap software. We at GolfPUNKS love anything free.

Minors.
There are 2 minors in this league. One sometime in November and one in March next year. As a reminder, Punks must play a minimum of 4 events to be eligible to play in a Minor.
In the Minors, the points are slightly different. Top 15 will get points 15 to 1.
Also there will be more prizes like Lucky Draws, Longest Drive, Nearest to the Pin, Top 5 Nett, Top 5 Gross, Most Active Player, Most Handsome Player and Most Ugly Player. Even a Hole in One prize.
The Venue of the first Minor will be at RBA and the entry fee will be the green fee plus an additional $15.

Buayas and how to deal with them.
From reading the chatboard, there are some unhappy punks. This is my advice, if you think someone isn't making a proper drop and ruling, then bloody say so to them on the spot and not after the game. Tell them diplomatically, like so:

"Eh ji, banarnya mesti drop dibelakang tu and not nearer to the hole" or

"Kalau OB, mesti mengambat sekali lagi or play a provisional ball if kita inda sure iya OB or not" or

"Ngian, setau pramba, mesti drop within 2 club length, pasal bula kita alum cross water hazard tadi"

or you can just keep quiet and let him make wrong drops and thus make a wrong score and let them win unfairly. The choice is yours.

To those punks who aren't sure of the rules or forgot the rules or think they know the right rules but don't, here's what i have to say to you:

Golf is a game of honesty and integrity. And golfers talk. They will tell their friends of those who don't make the correct ruling and drops. They will talk behind your back and you'll earn a reputation. So even though you think people don't know, they do know.
Plus Allah knows so abis lah.

So if you're not sure about a ruling, don't be afraid to ask. This is a game of self-improvement, not just on our swing and game but also on golf rules and etiquette.

Anyway, i hope all you Punks can remind yourselves that Golf is only a Game(The Game).
Take it seriously, have fun, play well, don't cheat and kalau dapat, sponsor hadiah.
So see you all on Sunday 2nd Sept 2007 for the SUNDAY SEPT SHOWDOWN.

Regards,
FlyBoy(presently No 29 in the league)

THERE ARE BAD SCORES AND BAD SCORECARDS.

2007-07-27T02:19:00.000+08:00

One wisecrack punk wrote, "We may not hit great shots, we may not have the best equipment, we may never break 100 BUT we love teeing up and hitting that tiny white ball into that tin cup(eventually). We like our golf to be serious and brutal. (Although our scores may make everyone laugh)."

And let me just add, WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO SUBMIT PROPERLY WRITTEN SCORECARDS. We may be still learning this weird game of golf as we go along, but we actually don't have to write like kindergarten children.

Now learn this, below are examples of properly and badly written scorecards.

So please help the committee do their job of sorting out the scores faster (so they can eat together with the others too) by following these simple guidelines:
(So the next time you enter a bigger tourney, you won't be embarrassed)

1. Write clearly with decent sized numbers.

2. Just write down the actual strokes your marker and you yourself take. (Any other numbers in those agonisingly small boxes are too confusing)

3. Write down your front 9 and back 9 scores on its appropriate boxes.

4. After you complete your round, sit down with your marker to finalise and confirm each holes' score. Then each of you sign the scorecard off and submit it to the committee. (This actually takes less than 5 minutes)

5. To finalise a scorecard, you actually have to workout your gross score (total strokes) and your nett score (total strokes minus handicap) and write it down on your scorecard and again, sign it.

6. If, during a round, you and your marker have a dispute over a ruling, you are allowed to play two balls for that hole and write down your two scores for that hole. After you complete your round, contact the committee to get a ruling and finalise a score for that particular hole and

7. Please be honest with your scores!

REMEMBER!!! Signing a scorecard with scores that don't add up to the total scores result in disqualification in the tournament. Therefore it is imperative for you and your marker to be responsible for your own scores.

Let's make golf a fun and honest game for everyone.

Play the ball as it lies
Play the course as you find it
And if you can't do either, do what is fair
But to do what is fair, you need to
know The Rules of Golf.

2007-07-11T14:35:00.000+08:00

Attention fellow GolfPUNKs,

After careful consideration and trying to putt at Pantai Mentiri Golf Club today, the GolfPUNK committee has decided to postpone the Pantai Punk Classic to the month of August. This is due to the greens at Pantai Mentiri being repaired for the whole month of July.
I'm sure we all would love to putt on the greens rather than seeing our balls bob up and down towards the cup.

So the next event's venue is changed to the RBA Golf Club.

1230PM

Strokeplay
Prizes: Best Gross & Best Nett 1st, 2nd, 3rd

Green fee for non-members:
- $70(new punks)
- $67(old punks)
For PC members & RBA Staff:
- $55(new punks)
- $52(old punks)

Notes:
1.) Avoid SLOW PLAY.
2.) Please write clearly on your scorecards and only your scores and those you're marking.
3.) Only one mulligan allowed at the first hole you start at.
4.) Please finish your putts and do not pick it up, this is a competition.
5.) After the round is over, please hand in your scorecards to the tournament organisers.

THE IVANTY LEADERBOARD and CURRENT LEAGUE STANDINGS

2007-07-07T20:20:00.000+08:00

AssalamuAlaykum and Greetings GolfPUNKS!

Yesterday's 2nd Round League game came full circle as the RBA Golf Course was raided by punks of all shape, sizes, swings and colours. A warm welcome to the new joiners and hello again to the members of GolfPUNKS 2007-2008 who made the event a success.

A long and glorious golfing morning started with 25 Punks roughing out the searing July heat. There were missed putts for birdies, pars, bogeys, doubles, triples and so forth. Balls were lost, found again and then eventually lost. Some mulligans were taken, but not that many.

But in the end when all is said and done, the golfer is alone, fighting against his inner demons, his ball, mother nature and the course. Some of you may be new players who've only just started playing and some might be seasoned amateurs. However long we've played and whatever background we've come from, we stand united as golfers, searching for the perfect swing and the lowest score.

A quick note on the league structure:
1.) Every player will automatically get one point when they play a GolfPUNK event.
2.) Players in the Top 10 of a League event will gets points ranging from 10 points to 1 point.
3.) The TOP 10 ranked players will be awarded prizes and trophies at the end of season MINOR event. There are also novelty prizes and lucky draws. A mid-season MINOR will also be announced soon.
4.) The season is a 9 month long season and will end in March 2008.
5.) Only players who play a minimum of 4 events are valid for the FINAL SEASON RANKINGS.
6.) The league is open to any golfers with a decent swing and can hit the ball without killing himself or anyone on his flight. Who says golf isn't dangerous?

PICTURES OF THE DAY

Congratulations to the winner of THE IVANTY, Monsieur IZAT HJ ZAIMI who scored a spectacular score of 90 with his 24 handicap. Rest assured his handicap will be reduced. The aim of the league is firstly to play golf regularly amongst friends and acquaintances. Secondly to compete against our fellow golfers and to improve our golfing ability, be it our driving, iron play, chipping and putting. And most importantly to learn this beautiful game of golf, of its rules and regulations and improve our manners and etiquette.

2007-06-30T15:22:00.000+08:00

AssalamuAlaykum fellow GolfPUNKS,

Are you all ready for the next league game? Have you practised your chipping and putting at the Empire? Have you religiously hit those 200 golf balls at the range? Or have you been spending too much time watching Michelle Wie at the Golf Channel?

Whatever the case, prepare to do battle and perform for next week's event, THE IVANTY on Friday 6th July, 0615am at the RBA Golf Course.
Prizes up for grabs are Best Nett Score 1, 2 and 3 which come in the form of our authentic GolfPUNK medals.
Medals are sponsored by Mrs Ivanty Momin, a social golfer, though not an avid one as she's busy minding my children. Yes, she also happens to be my wife.

There will be new players joining next week and so for those who're not familiar with the Rules of Golf, below are some quick points.

1.) Only one mulligan allowed on the first tee-box. Not on other holes. And you have to declare it.(This is the only rule that the committee has changed away from the Rules of Golf)

2.) Please give your scorecards to your markers. Your marker is not your friend in the buggy. Your marker is the other guy on the other buggy. Write down only your player's score and your markers.

3.) What happens when my ball goes OB? - Take a penalty shot. Play where you hit the ball. There's no such thing as taking 2 strokes or 1 stroke where the ball entered the OB.

4.) When your ball decides to go for a swim in the water, take a penalty drop at the point of entry, within 2 club length(red stakes), NOT adjacent to the water. For yellow stakes, take a penalty drop, anywhere behind from the point of entry, on line with the flagstick.

5.) Please do NOT drag your heavy feet when walking on the green as you will destroy the green and spoil everyone's putting. Please walk on the green, don't drag your feet.

6.) As courtesy and to avoid slow play, please bring your putter, wedge or any equipment you need when you go to the green or to your ball. This saves time from walking back and forth to the buggy. Of course, don't rush taking your shot but don't take 10 practise swings either. Other players will start counting and you won't be very popular.

7.) Again as courtesy, please keep quiet when players are putting or hitting their golf balls. Some of them have super-sensitive hearing and might even need earmuffs.

8.) Oh and more importantly, come early before tee-time so we can all start early and finish early and enjoy our lunch and socialising at the clubhouse.

Below are the flight allocation for THE IVANTY next week:

1st Flight: Hole 10
1. Izat Hj Zaimi
2. Azril Nizam
3. Hj Amir
4. Ronfaisal

2nd Flight: Hole 10

NEWS UPDATE!

2007-06-27T00:21:00.000+08:00

Assalamu Alaykum and Greetings GolfPUNKS,

Last week's inaugural B.L.O.G. event was undoubtedly a success. Thank you to all the members and congratulations to Fadzlin Hassan for winning THE OPEN. Of course now everyone's handicap has been adjusted and will be regulated by the League organising committee.

We've had a lot of inquiries from various interested parties and individuals concerning the league. So here are more FAQ's:

Q: Who can join the GolfPUNK league?
A: Anyone who plays golf or can swing a golf club, male or female, Bruneian or not, young and old, yadayadayada, you get my drift.

Q: How much would it cost me?
A: To be a member, the joining fee B$5.oo, to play a league game $2.00.

Q: Which courses do we play and will we go to other courses?
A: League games will be regularly played at RBA Golf Course although other venues are being considered.

Q: What days do you play and what time do you play?
A: Friday mornings 630am or Sunday afternoons 1245pm every fortnight.

Q: What about the green fee?
A: You pay for your own fee via the committee.
Fridays $55 with lunch(if there are more than 15 players),
Sundays $65 no food(if there are more than 20 players).

Q: How does this point system work?
A: TOP 10 gets 10 points reducing to 1. On top of that, every round you play, you're automatically awarded 1 point.

Q: What can i win?
A: Nett score winner gets to win a really cool authentic GOLFPUNK medal that they can keep for the rest of their golfing lives. The Committee is seriously thinking of giving medals to Top 3 players in the league match subject to budget.
There will be a mid-season and end of season ' MINORS' tournament held for league members. Top 10 on the leaderboard will win trophies and other prizes. Whadya reckon the $2 fee is for? It's collection money to buy medals and whatnot.

Q: Who gets to join the mid-season and end of season 'MINORS' tournaments?
A: Good-looking golfers with fancy equipment and cool shades mate. Just kidding.
Only GolfPUNKS who play a minimum of 4 league matches are eligible to join the MINORS.

Q: Can i sponsor your league?
A: We thought you'd never ask. Yes by all means. We take cash, cheque and all major credit cards. Those interested in sponsoring league medals will have the event named after them. How cool is that? Remember the Byron Nelson Classic, well you can have the Awang Si Pulan Classic. Your name will be forever etched in GolfPUNK history. So what are you waiting for? Be a sponsor, Be a GolfPUNK!

I hope the FAQ's have been helpful and we hope to see you on the next GolfPUNK event at:

RBA Golf Club
6 JULY 2007
0615am
Green fee: $55 w/lunch(subject to more than 15 players).

Note to all you GolfPUNKS!

Golf Etiquette
Etiquette is a word that's often heard in relation to golf, more so than with any other sport. But it's not just about manners. It's about not pissing me off on my day off and especially when i'm playing golf because you haven't been to Golf Etiquette 101.

Golf etiquette is an essential part of the game. And it's something that newcomers to the game often learn as they go - on the course, when playing with more experienced golfers. If you are new to the game, or just need to brush up on your golf etiquette, here are some basic rules of the road that will help keep the game enjoyable for you and those around you.

Keep It Safe
• Do not swing your club until you know that others in your group are at a safe distance. Likewise, keep your distance when others are swinging. Be aware to steer clear of trouble.
• When practicing your swing, never swing in the direction of another player. There may be pebbles or twigs or other matter in the grass that could fly up and injure a playing partner. Trust me, i've been hit a couple of times by twigs and soil. It's not nice.
• Do not hit the ball until you are certain that the group ahead of you is out of range. Or else be ready for a war of words and a barrage of abuse.
• If your ball appears headed toward another player or another group, give them a warning by yelling out, "Fore!". In Brunei, golfers yell,"Ball!" which is good enough but please shout it out loud and don't murmur okay. Sound travels slower in air than it does through solids.
• Observe the safety suggestions posted in golf carts and drive carefully. Golf etiquette requires keeping your cart off the grass as much as possible. Not a rule that is adhered much in Bruneian golf courses and i am guilty of it too.
• Never throw clubs in anger. In addition to being rude and childish, it could also be dangerous. Plus anger is not conducive to playing good golf.

Maintain a Good Pace
• Keep the round moving by being prepared to hit your shot when it is your turn. You probably don't like waiting on other groups - don't make other groups wait on you.
• The player who is away hits first in a group. However, in friendly matches (as opposed to tournament play), this rule can be ignored in favor of "ready play" - players hit as they are ready. All players should agree to "ready play" before it is put into effect.
• Do not spend too much time looking for a lost ball, particularly if there is a group behind you ready to play. If you insist on taking the full five minutes allotted to look for lost balls, golf etiquette says wave up the group behind to allow them to play through.
• Always try to keep pace with the group ahead of you. If space opens in front of you, allow a faster group to play through.
• When two players in a cart hit to opposite sides of a hole, drive to first ball and drop off that player with his club, then drive to the second ball. After both players hit, meet up farther down the hole.
• When walking from your cart to your ball, take a couple clubs with you. Taking only one club, then having to return to the cart to retrieve a different club, is a huge time-waster.
• Always leave the putting green as soon as your group has finished putting.

Be Kind to the Course
• Observe cart rules. Some courses will post "cart path only" signs; others will ask you to observe the "90-degree rule." Do as you are told. In Bruneian golf courses, it's like asking smokers to stop smoking.
• Do walk properly on greens so that the spikes of your shoes won't ruin the putting grass.
• Keep carts away from greens and hazards.
• Repair all divots. Yes, i hate it when my ball lands in a divot because i can't hit a proper shot when my ball's in one.
• Repair all ball marks on the green.
• Always rake sand traps after hitting to erase your footprints and damage to the area where your ball was.
• Never take a divot on a practice swing.

And a Few More Golf Etiquette Hints
• Quiet, please! Never talk during another player's swing.
• Do not stand behind another player while he/she is teeing off or setting up a shot or a putt. It is very distracting and golf is a difficult game itself.
• Do not yell out following a shot. Even if boisterous behavior doesn't bother your playing partners, there are other people on the course who may be within earshot.• Be aware of your shadow on the putting green. Don't stand in a place that causes your shadow to be cast across another player or that player's putting line.
• Never walk through a playing partner's putting line. Your footprints might alter the path of a partner's putt. Step over the putting line, or walk around (behind) the partner's ball.

Right, so we've got the knowledge, now let's action it. Play well and have a good golfing day!

What the heck is GOLF PUNK?

2007-06-16T22:16:00.000+08:00

Welcome boys and girls to a brand new season of GOLFPUNKS.

This is a league where anyone can join. Most of the players are beginners and novices and so most of you don't have to be embarassed to join hackers and weekend warriors alike. Everyone's gotta start somewhere right?

So you're all wondering, how does this league work. Well here are some FAQ's:

Q: How does the league work?
A: Well, we work the season similar to the Formula One season on a points system. Top 10 players get points.
#1 gets 10pts, #2:9pts, #3:8pts, #4:7pts, #5:6pts, #6:5 pts, #7:4 pts, #8:3pts, #9:2pts, #10:1pts.

Q: Is this thing held regularly?
A: The tournament will be held every 2 weeks, more than likely at RBA Golf Club because it's the easiest and more accessible course to play in.

Q:How much do i have to pay to join? Is it expensive?
A: No mate, it's a cheap league. You pay for your own green fee but every league day, you pay $2 only.The initial entry fee is B$5.00 and that's non-refundable. This'll give you guys an incentive to come regularly for the league.

Q: Hey, wait a tick. I don't have a handicap.
A: It's okay dude, we will ask you for your handicap. Highest being 36 if you're a beginner and if you score gross of 71 regularly, your name must be Seruji. Obviously, golf is a game of gentlemen and honesty is the best policy, if you think you're a 21, say you're a 21. If you think you're a 34, say you're an 34.
Those in the top 3 on the day will have their handicaps reduced from one to three strokes by the committee.

Q: Will there be food and drinks after each round?
A: Not really, B.Y.O.(Bring Your Own) but there will be a mid-season and end of season tournament for all league members. That's what the $2 for you see. You think this league comes from charity?

Q: Do you guys have a ranking and league table then?
A: Oh yea, that's what the league is for. To improve and play the best golf that you can. Rankings and tables give you a competitive edge(eventhough your score might be 114)

(...updated FAQ's 27.06)

We've had a lot of inquiries from various interested parties and individuals concerning the league. So here are more FAQ's:

Q: Who can join the GolfPUNK league?
A: Anyone who plays golf or can swing a golf club, male or female, Bruneian or not, young and old, yadayadayada, you get my drift.

Q: How much would it cost me?
A: To be a member, the joining fee B$5.oo, to play a league game $2.00.

Q: Which courses do we play and will we go to other courses?
A: League games will be regularly played at RBA Golf Course although other venues are being considered.

Q: What days do you play and what time do you play?
A: Friday mornings 630am or Sunday afternoons 1245pm every fortnight.

Q: What about the green fee?
A: You pay for your own fee via the committee.
Fridays $55 with lunch(if there are more than 15 players),
Sundays $65 no food(if there are more than 20 players).

Q: How does this point system work?
A: TOP 10 gets 10 points reducing to 1. On top of that, every round you play, you're automatically awarded 1 point.

Q: What can i win?
A: Nett score winner gets to win a really cool authentic GOLFPUNK medal that they can keep for the rest of their golfing lives. The Committee is seriously thinking of giving medals to Top 3 players in the league match subject to budget.
There will be a mid-season and end of season ' MINORS' tournament held for league members. Top 10 on the leaderboard will win trophies and other prizes. Whadya reckon the $2 fee is for? It's collection money to buy medals and whatnot.

Q: Who gets to join the mid-season and end of season 'MINORS' tournaments?
A: Good-looking golfers with fancy equipment and cool shades mate. Just kidding.
Only GolfPUNKS who play a minimum of 4 league matches are eligible to join the MINORS.

Q: Can i sponsor your league?
A: We thought you'd never ask. Yes by all means. We take cash, cheque and all major credit cards. Those interested in sponsoring league medals will have the event named after them. How cool is that? Remember the Byron Nelson Classic, well you can have the Awang Si Pulan Classic. Your name will be forever etched in GolfPUNK history. So what are you waiting for? Be a sponsor, Be a GolfPUNK!

Q: What do i need to be a GOLFPUNK?
A: Good looks, dark tan, white teeth and a cool flashy car.
Just kidding. Mate, all you need is to bring your clubs, your game and $5.00 joining fee.

(additional rules, regulation and etiquette matters. 30.06)

1.) Only one mulligan allowed on the first tee-box. Not on other holes. And you have to declare it. (This is the only rule that the committee has changed away from the Rules of Golf)

2.) Please give your scorecards to your markers. Your marker is not your friend in the buggy. Your marker is the other guy on the other buggy. Write down only your player's score and your markers.

3.) What happens when my ball goes OB? - Take a penalty shot. Play where you hit the ball. There's no such thing as taking 2 strokes or 1 stroke where the ball entered the OB.

4.) When your ball decides to go for a swim in the water, take a penalty drop at the point of entry, within 2 club length(red stakes), NOT adjacent to the water. For yellow stakes, take a penalty drop, anywhere behind from the point of entry, on line with the flagstick.

5.) Please do NOT drag your heavy feet when walking on the green as you will destroy the green and spoil everyone's putting. Please walk on the green, don't drag your feet.

6.) As courtesy and to avoid slow play, please bring your putter, wedge or any equipment you need when you go to the green or to your ball. This saves time from walking back and forth to the buggy. Of course, don't rush taking your shot but don't take 10 practise swings either. Other players will start counting and you won't be very popular.

7.) Again as courtesy, please keep quiet when players are putting or hitting their golf balls. Some of them have super-sensitive hearing and might even need earmuffs.

8.) Oh and more importantly, come early before tee-time so we can all start early and finish early and enjoy our lunch and socialising at the clubhouse.
