Yards. Actual distances vary with course conditions, usually within ±200 yards. JGL may adjust, merge or split groups based on entries and international requirements.
Breaking ties
JGL does not play off ties or share places. Equal scores are separated by comparing scorecards using The R&A’s recommended countback (last 9, 6, 3 and final hole).
- No sudden-death playoff
- No shared places
- Scorecard countback decides
Rules we play by
Every event is played under The R&A Rules of Golf. Each event’s Local Rules, self-refereeing, caddie and distance-device rules are on its event page under “Rules”.
Start in DII. Play your way to DI.
Every round under real rules is a round that counts.
