Rules
Lost ball (water, woods, rough, etc.): drop where it went in and take a 1-stroke penalty. Keep pace.
Frends don't let Frends 4-putt.
Gimmes are given by the team you're playing — on Sunday, by your individual opponent.
You may concede a hole to your opponent at any time.
In scrambles, drop within one club length of the chosen shot, no closer to the hole.
In scrambles, use at least 2 tee shots from each partner on every nine.
Lift, clean and place in the fairway; play it as it lies in the second cut or deeper.
