UPDATE: Course conditions for BMW GAP Team Matches

  Week One of the BMW GAP Team Matches will take place on April 19 as planned.

  Due to the impact of Mother Nature on fairways and greens throughout the Philadelphia region, some clubs will utilize a rotation of holes to host matches. Clubs that were heavily affected by winter conditions will play at an away club in order to conduct the match.

  The BMW GAP Team Matches rule that addresses the aforementioned scenario is as follows:

  d. Course Closure due to Renovations or Regrassing. It is suggested that if possible some rotation of holes be used to allow the matches be played at the course undergoing the work (18 holes must be played, but not necessarily 18 individual holes). If this is not possible, the entire match must be played at the away club or half the match at a neutral site and half the match away. The club under construction must request entirely away matches if that is a club’s only option. If the entire match can’t be played away, the club under construction will default the match (1/2) team. If both clubs are closed due to Renovations or Re-grassing the entire match may be played at a neutral site. If the match can’t be played at a neutral site the match will be scored as a draw (no points for either team).
