Eligibility:
A player's age on July 1, 2008, will determine his/her
age bracket.
Local Rule:
A
player shall take no more than 10 strokes on a hole. Once a 10
has been reached please, pick up your ball and wait for the
other players in your group to complete the hole.
Ties
and Alternates:
All ties for first place in the individual age group will be
broken by a sudden death play-off immediately following the
completion of play for the age group. All other ties for second
through fifth (those places receiving medals) will be broken by
a scorecard playoff starting with the last hole and going
backwards on the card.
Tournament Rules:
Play is governed by the United States Golf Association (USGA)
Rules of Golf & Decisions where applicable as amended by
Local Rules that are administered by the Tournament
Director.
Parental Responsibility:
A
parent or guardian must be present for registration and at all
times during the competition. All parents, family members, or
friends who are not caddying must follow the guidelines of the
Spectator Policy.
Spectator Policy:
All spectators must remain on the cart path or the rough at all
times. Spectators may NOT give the player advice during the
round. Spectators may NOT use any electronic devices (cell
phones, pagers, etc.) on the course. First offense: warning;
second offense: immediate removal of the spectator from the
golf course.
Use
of Electronic Devices by Players and Caddy:
Cell phones, headphones, and pagers
may not be used during play. First offense: two-stroke
penalty; second offense: disqualification.
Dress Code:
Participants must adhere to the following
dress code: Only acceptable golf attire is permitted. Players
are prohibited from wearing shoes with metal spikes, short
shorts, swimwear, denim of any kind, t-shirts, or tank tops.
Inclement Weather:
The tournament committee makes all decisions regarding weather
delays and/or cancellations on site the day of the event. Our
intention is to play the event on its scheduled day, and we will
do everything possible, including reducing the number of holes
of the stipulated round, to determine the individual champions.
If a delay occurs, it is the player's responsibility to be ready
when play resumes. All players failing to start play on time
after a delay will be assessed a score of ten on that and any
subsequent holes on which their group has already begun play.
You may not join your group during play of a hole, you must join
them on the next tee.
Code
of Conduct:
Violations of the code of conduct include: abusive language,
club throwing, cheating, disrespect of volunteers or officials,
abuse to the golf course or the facility, littering, or any
other conduct unbecoming of a tournament participant or caddy.
First offense: two-stroke penalty; second offense:
disqualification. Repeated violations may lead to rejection of
future entries.
Disqualification Policy:
No player will be disqualified for any rules violations of the
Rules of Golf. Instead, the player will be assessed a maximum
score of ten on any hole where the penalty would normally bring
disqualification. In situations where the round or hole has
been completed, the score of ten will apply to the last hole
played or to the hole where the infraction occurred. Should a
player miss his tee time, he will be assessed a maximum score of
ten on the first hole and each additional hole not played with
his assigned group. Exceptions: a player or his caddy may
be disqualified for code of conduct violations or unauthorized
use of electronic devices.
Starting Time:
Please check your starting hole
assignment and arrive at your tee box at least five minutes
early.
Pace of Play:
It is the caddy's duty to help the players hit each shot within
a reasonable period of time.
