Play is governed by the USGA Rules of Golf and its Decisions and, where applicable, by the following Local Rules, Conditions, and Definitions, subject to changes or amendments by the tournament committee. Local Rules in play will be announced by the starter and printed on the scorecard.

 

Pace of Play:  Each player must play without undue delay, which is defined as taking no more than one minute to play a shot. Players should be ready to play their shot as soon as it is their turn (for example, without interrupting other players, determine yardage, mark and clean ball on greens, pre-read the green, shot strategy, club selection, etc.). Each group is responsible for monitoring their own pace. To avoid a penalty, groups must complete their round within (a) their allotted time, or (b) within fifteen (15) minutes of the group ahead of them. Additionally, the Tournament Committee is not obligated to give warnings and may, at its sole discretion, assess any of the following: -First offense-warning, -Second offense-one stroke penalty, -Third offense- two stroke penalty -Fourth offense-Disqualification

 

Live Scoring/Scoring:  All players are to keep their score and the score of everyone in their group. After each hole, players will announce their score. All players must agree before teeing off on the next hole. At least one player in the group MUST record the groups score using the Golf Genius App (GGID code will be provided on the scorecard and by the starter).  At the end of the round, all players in each group must go directly to the scoring area. Each player will announce their hole by hole scores as the other competitors in the group verify for a second time. Once all players agree that all scores are correct, one official scorecard will be turned in to and posted. Top 15 players in their age division will earn points for their team/region.

 

Disqualification Policy: A player may be disqualified for arriving late to the tee time, for code of conduct violations such as throwing clubs, rudeness to other players, unauthorized use of electronic devices, or as otherwise provided under the Rules of Golf. 

 

 

 

Caddie Policy: 

• Caddies allowed for 6-8, 9-11 and 12-14 age divisions
