In accordance with the Rules of Golf, Brookview or the BMGA may establish several Local Rules relative to the course or conditions of play.  This document outlines the local rules as established by the BMGA.

Tournament/League Rules

• Measuring Devices
  • In accordance to 14-3/0.5 Local Rule Permitting Use of Distance-Measuring Device of the USGA, the BMGA allows the use of devices to measure distance.
  • Distance-Measuring Devices: [Specify as appropriate, e.g., "In this competition," or "For all play at this course," etc.], a player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only. However, if, during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g., gradient, wind-speed, temperature, etc.), the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional functions are actually used.  Asking a playing partner for distance between two objects is public information and therefore not seeking advice ( Rule 8-1).
• Relief from flower beds
  • Players are allowed to take relief from course constructed flower beds if the flower interferes with a players swing.

Tournament Eligibility

• The BMGA Board has approved a measure to make sure that all members are responsible for the payment of tournaments that they are registered for.  It is expected that a member who registered for a tournament will pay all outstanding balances prior to the participating in the next event.  Exceptions to this rule can be mandated by the BMGA Board as necessary.

NOTE: WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON GATHERING ALL LOCAL RULES THAT EXIST AND AT THIS TIME THIS MAY NOT BE A COMPLETE LIST
