Match Play Then Medal Play

Hi Folks, Can any one tell me if I am able to play in a matchplay game in the morning then later in the affternoon play in the weekly medal. I have have been asking at work all day and is still 50/50. If anyone can help that would be fantastic

Before a round on any day of a stroke play competion you may not play on the same course.
You may however play stroke play befoe a match play comp.
See Rule 7-1

Hi on the same golf course where u play match play in the morning and stroke paly evnt later in the day. The rules committee of the club can make exceptions. Otherwise its not allowed to play the course on the ady of the compitition. My rule book is in car otherwise I can quote u the rule.

The Rule prohibiting this was mentioned above - 7-1.
I can find nothing in the Rules which permits the Committee to make an exception. Can you please provide the reference?

Pls check rule 33 my book is not at hand.Thanks

I can only see the standard 33-1

'The Committee has no power to waive a Rule of Golf.'

There would appear to be no exceptions. I must say I have never heard of one.

pls read appendix part - C Sir the rules committee of has that edge. R and A, or USGA too Rules

Sir/madame check rules with ur club RULES commiiitte? Sir Read the rule book APPEND PART C

I am Chair of our Rules Committee and have the Rules to hand.
I don't disbelieve you but perhaps you could specify the clause number.

sir app book rule book r and a. page 134 handbook of rules. 2004-2007

sir read appendix of ur rule book r and a or usga PART C PAGE 134.

Please don't be so aggressive.
I can see nothing on that page (quoted below) which permits the Committee to waive a Rule of Golf

PART C: CONDITIONS OF THE COMPETITION

Rule 33-1 provides, “The Committee must establish the conditions under which a competition is to be played.” These conditions should include many matters such as method of entry, eligibility, number of rounds to be played, etc., that it is not appropriate to deal with in the Rules of Golf or this Appendix. Detailed information regarding these conditions is provided in “Decisions on the Rules of Golf” under Rule 33-1 and in “How to Conduct a Competition.”


However, I have reread the Note to Rule 7-1 and, providing that a 'Match' is considered to be 'practice', would agree that this might be interpreted as permitting a player to play a match on the course before a strokeplay competition. I must say, I have never seen this interpretation used as a CoC in a competition nor encountered anyone argue it. But as they say - never say never.
