PUTTING AROUND BOCA TOURNAMENT RULES:
– There is a maximum of 4 people on a team. Players of 2 will be matched up with another couple.
– All four people must putt each hole. In other words, one person can’t putt the same hole twice.

– There is a 5-stroke limit on each hole. If you have not completed the hole in 4 strokes, your score is automatically a 5. The team with the lowest totaled score wins.
– A moving ball may not be putted.
– If a ball is putted and comes to rest outside the boundaries of the hole, the ball may be replaced by hand a putter’s head length away from the exit point, with a 1 stroke penalty.
– If a ball comes to rest against a rail or obstacle, the ball can be placed one putter’s head length from the rail or obstacle. 

– There will be a volunteer from the participating businesses at each hole who will be responsible for recording each player’s score on their score cards. Each player’s score will be initialed by the volunteer in order to qualify for the best team score prizes.
– Any player arguing with Putting Around Boca Volunteers or Participating Business Partner Hole Location Staff or Volunteers at any of the 27 holes, the team will be given one warning. Any additional altercations will result in disqualification of that team from the tournament. All decisions made by the Putting Around Boca Coordinator are final.
