Rapture Reminders

Annual reminder of rules and whatnot:

• There's no max score during the Rapture
• If your opponent tells you to pick up, you must pick up (counting the next stroke). Failure to do so is an automatic loss of hole. This eliminates all the dumb shit some of you have tried in the past:
• Continuing to practice while slowing down pace of play
• Purposefully positioning yourself to give your partner a read on the green
• You must ride with your opponent on Sunday
• You can NOT help your teammate read putts on Sunday
• You can discuss any other strategy off the green with your teammate on Sunday

Every year at least one person doesn't know how the Chapman format works. This year's obvious choice is the Moostie/Troy vs. Reid/Brendan group.

For those of you who aren't good with written words — because your mom took too much Tylenol during pregnancy — here's AI Moses reading the rules to you:

Itinerary below is copied directly from the email sent to me — so it's not my fault if this is incorrect:

Oct 9        9:06            Sun n Lakes Deer Run

Oct 10       8:59            Sun n Lakes Deer Run

Oct 11       9:00            Sun n Lakes Turtle Run

 

The entire course and hole-by-hole ratings at Sun N Lake were recently updated. I reached out to GolfGameBook, so we should be good to go in the app. Regardless... the SCORECARD is the official card of record. Make sure as you play, both the app and the card are matching. The current scorecard will say 06/2025 at the bottom of the Turtle Run side.
