NOT be in effect.
12. PACE OF PLAY-Slow play will not be tolerated. A one-stroke penalty will be assessed to each member of the group
where slow play is excessive. There will be no break between nines, players will go directly from the last hole played to
the next tee.

carts are permitted.
14. Golfers are expected to call a penalty on themselves or other golfers immediately if there is a violation & before
teeing off on the next hole.
15. Spectators are welcome but may not converse with players at any time during competitive rounds. Spectators must
remain at least 50 ft from competitors and should not be on tee boxes or greens. Applause for good play is acceptable
but other gestures are not to be used. Violation may result in a two-stroke penalty or disqualification.
16. All golfers must have two signatures on their scorecard: the Marker or markers if more than one & the competitor. A
score is considered to be official when signed & returned to the tournament committee.
17. In case of a tie in the district team championship for first, second or third places, the four golfers who comprise the
team score for the tied teams will play an additional hole (or holes) until the tie is broken, (sudden-death system).
18. Any ties for individual 1st place will be broken using a sudden-death playoff. All other individual ties will be broken
using a scorecard playoff sudden-death method beginning with the number 1 handicap hole & continuing in handicap
hole order until the tie is broken. The other playoffs are to determine medal winners, not state qualifying positions. The
state qualifiers include the top 10 individuals, plus ties, if there are ties involved. More than 10 people can qualify for
state. Only 10 medals will be presented. Therefore any playoffs determine medal winners only.
