Ye Olde Turkey Cup Rules

(incorporating the Turkey Butt Trophy)

Revision: October 31^st, 2011

-         To be played annually (in November) at a location selected by the host of the Madison/Byerly/Thompson/Westphal/Marsden Thanksgiving Celebration.

-         Generally, to be played the day after Thanksgiving

-         Winner to receive the prestigious turkey butt clubhead cover (which must be carried on winner’s bag at all times during play for the ensuing year)

Keep individual scores per foursome as follows:

1)      First on the green                                                        1 point

2)      Closest to the hole from off the green                                    1 point

3)      First in (first putt only)                                               1 point

4)      Snake at end of 9 (last golfer to 3 putt)                      -2 points

If two or more players three-putt a given hole, the “last” to three-putt is the last player to have attempted his second putt and missed. Headgear or other suitably embarrassing attire as decided by the rules committee must be worn by the player currently carrying the snake until he is relieved of such burden by another player or until the end of the respective nine. Only putts from the green count toward three-putts, and fringe putts don’t count.

5)      Snake at end of 18                                                      -4 points

On the second nine, the snake competition “starts over,” that is, the holder of the snake at the end of the first nine does not carry it over to the tenth hole. See #4 for other snake rules.

6)      One mulligan off tee box per golfer allowed per 9 holes (but once you announce that you are taking a mulligan, then you must play that ball – i.e. no “druthers”)

7)      One OB “Safety” per golfer allowed per 9 holes (place OB ball at any location on fairway)

The OB must be deemed and accepted as “unintentional” by the other players in the group.

You can buy an OB “Safety” off another player for an agreed upon sum at any time as long as they have an available OB “Safety” to sell. 

8)      BMW                                                                          1 point to others in group

Bitch, moan and/or whine about a shot that ended up with a result that did not justify the level of bitching, moaning and whining.  A BMW must be “called” (i.e. suggested) by someone in the foursome and generally agreed to by the others in the group, except the BMWer

9)      FISO   (you putt and you’re still out!)                        1 point to others in group

FISO does not apply on parts of the course other than the putting surface.

Player having the most points in the field wins. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by a putt-off or other suitable tie-breaker to be decided by the rules committee.
