The Mid-Atlantic Players Championship Rulebook 

Shotgun Mulligans

Two on the Front, Two on the back; no carryover

Only available on the tee box

You must shotgun the beer before hitting your second shot

You may choose to play your first drive but the shotgun mulligan is still forfeited

Airplane liquor bottles (minimum 80 proof) may be substituted for beers

A shotgun of a non-alcoholic beer is acceptable if the player is sober

Breakfast Ball Is In Play

Free second tee shot off #1 if necessary

Everything is Lateral

Ex. If your drive goes OB, drop a ball approximately where it went out, take a one stroke penalty, and hit three from there. 

Putter Length Gimmes

Any putt inside the length of your putter is considered good.

Winter Rules (Fairway)

Lift, clean, and place in the fairway

Play It As It Lies (Rough)

Unless you're on a root, rock, etc. Don’t hurt yourself but don’t move yourself out from behind a tree either.

Double Par

Max score on each hole is Double Par. Once you reach this score, pick it up and move on.

Long Drive/ Closest to the Pin

Long drive must be in the fairway to count

Closest to the pin must be on the green to count

** The breakfast ball, shotgun mulligans, and putter length gimmies do not apply to the 4-man scramble round.

Scramble Tiebreaker

1. Tiebreaker will be a putt off on the practice green.

2. The hole and line will be determined by an independent arbiter.

3. Winner of the coin toss decides whether to putt first or second.

4. Scramble-style putting starting at 10ft away, each team only has to make the putt once. Alternate back and forth between teams. 

5. If both teams make the 10ft putt, move back to 15ft and repeat, 20ft, 25ft, etc. 

6. If neither team makes the putt, begin a hockey style shootout from the current distance. 

   1. In the shootout, all four players from both teams must putt and the total putts made determines the winner. 

   2. If teams are still tied at the end of the shootout, we move to sudden death. 

      1. New coin flip for who putts first in sudden death

      2. Teams can change their putting order after moving to sudden death

      3. Made putts from the first team to putt can be matched by the second team.
