1. A tag is free when you join the BDGC ($20). You can join the club and get a
tag at the course before a Tag Round. You may not participate in a Tag
Challenge without a tag. You can buy a replacement tag for $5 if your tag is
lost or stolen. The Challenge runs from March 1 to October 31.
2. Tag Challenges are held on Wednesdays at 6:00pm (5:30 for the first Tag round
of the year). No player will be allowed to join in a tag round once
the groups are picked. Rounds start on time. Plan to arrive 10 minutes early
to sign up and get ready to play.
3. The lowest tag holder decides from which tees the round will be played.
4. The winner of the round will be awarded the lowest numbered tag
available. The next best score gets the next lowest available tag, and so
on. All ties will favor the tag holder who entered the round with the
lower tag number.
5. Players have the option of contributing $1 for Ace insurance prior to
the start of a tag round. The ace fund will be split between players who
throw an Ace (hole in one) during the round. The Ace prize is only available
to those who paid $1 prior to the round and checked their name on the
sign-in sheet as proof.
6. Scoring: The first 10 tags are gold; the remainder are orange. Players'
scores are determined by the lowest tag number obtained during a given
month. (e.g., if tag 23 is the lowest you earned in April, you get 23
points for that month) At the end of the year, your worst month's score is
dropped and the rest is totaled.
7. In case of a scoring tie, to determine the Tag winner at the end of the
year, there will be a one round playoff. Should this end in a tie, the
players will play additional holes until one player wins a hole outright.
8. Courteous behavior is expected. Players are cautioned not to talk when
other players are throwing. No one should walk ahead of the furthest lie
or stand in the vision line of a shooting player.
9. Play continues in all weather except lighting. Lightning voids the
round and players get their starting tag back. All other DNF rounds
regardless of cause (including injury) leaves the player with the highest
tag number available.
10. The Tag Boss will be the sole arbitrator of Tag Round disputes.
11. Gold Tag #1 is the most coveted tag of the Challenge. It may not
remain out of play for more than 1 Tag rounds. If the #1 tag is
not present for two consecutive tag rounds, a duplicate #1 tag will be
placed back in circulation at the start of the second tag round. Any holder
of tag #1 violating the "Holding" rule will lose the credit for winning
the #1 tag in that month and will be credited with his next lowest tag
score. To avoid this sanction, #1 tag holders are encouraged to keep the
tag in play or turn it in prior to the start of the second tag round after it was won.
12. All other gold tags must make at least one appearance in any given
month or a duplicate will be put into circulation in the following month.
13. Have fun!
