Keeping Score: Why It Matters
Keeping score benefits every golfer, no matter their skill level. It provides a benchmark to learn from, helps track improvement, and is an essential part of the game. It’s also a required rule of golf—each of us must keep and post all scores during OGA’s official season, March 1 through November 30.
Tuesday & Thursday Play – Official Scorekeeping
One person in each group will keep the official scorecard for the round.
At the end of each hole, all golfers should report their score to the scorekeeper (a great pace‑of‑play tip is to do this once you arrive at the next tee).
Please also keep your own scorecard so you can verify your score at the end of the round.
After play, post your score in GHIN the same day for handicapping purposes.
The scorekeeper will submit the official scorecard to the Handicap Committee by placing it in the Ladies’ Club scorecard box located in the Tri‑Mountain clubhouse lobby.
Handicap Information
The Handicap System allows golfers of all abilities to compete fairly on any course. As an OGA‑affiliated club, TMLGC follows all rules and procedures related to scoring, posting, and handicapping.

Pace of Play
Pace of Play is considered one of the most important rules of golf etiquette. Good pace of play is a shared responsibility and increases everyone's enjoyment of the game.
At Tri-Mountain Golf Course the pace of play is 2 hours and 10 minutes per 9 holes. Golfers should complete an 18-hole round in 4 hours and 20 minutes.
We have dedicated a Pace of Play page with information, tips, and videos to assist our members with this important aspect of the game. Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions!
Game of the Week is a fun and sometimes challenging competition. Each week there will be a different 9-hole game that you can opt into playing for $2. This is optional and would be paid cash to the clubhouse when you arrive for golf. Each week, winners split the pot and can use their winnings for purchases (green fees, food, merchandise) at Tri-Mountain Golf Course.
Your group will keep a game scorecard that will be separate from your regular round scorecard. At the end of your round, place the scorecard in the box labeled “Game of the Week”, located on the front table in the clubhouse. An email will be sent with winner information to all who participated in the game.
View the Game of the Week schedule on the Ladies' Club bulletin board in the clubhouse
