STANDING RULES
I. MEMBERSHIP
A. To become a regular member, an applicant must have
amateur standing, shoot a
qualifying score of 112 or better while playing with a board member on a
club play day, pay an initiation fee and dues, and have or obtain a USGA
handicap. An applicant playing a qualifying round is not eligible to
participate in that day’s game.
1. A member may obtain a temporary handicap by turning in five score cards
to the handicap chairperson.
After posting 20
scores, she will receive an established handicap.
2. An applicant who fails to make a qualifying score in
three attempts within a six-month
period may re-apply after six months. An applicant will become an associate
member while waiting to qualify.
3. Regular membership is limited to 120 members. To maintain membership,
each member must attend one general meeting,
be a starter and a scorer (the number of assignments will be based upon the
needs of the club), and play 5 play days during the 12 months ending
December 15. Members 70 years of age and older
must play 3 games during the 12-month
period. Members joining after July 1 must attend one general meeting, play
five play days and pay $20 annual dues for that year.

she will receive one-half game credit for that day. If the game is on a
Tuesday, she will receive one-game credit towards her 10-game requirement.
If a member performs the duty of a marshal when Shoreline hosts County team
play, or substitutes for the duty of starter/scorer in addition to her
regular duties, she will also receive one-game credit.
b. If unable to play 10 games, members may send a letter of explanation by
September 15th to the Membership Chairperson. A member may elect to become

if the membership is full.
2. Associate members who were previously regular members need not re-qualify
for regular member status.

at the next regular play day when she is present. In addition, a gift from
the club will be presented to the member at the annual awards meeting.
