Rule 1: The Game

Section 1: Rules of the Game
USGA Rules will be used during the competition. Lift, clean, and place rule will be in effect.

Exceptions are in sand bunkers or hazards. All local rules for the course will be used during the competition.

Section 3: Alcohol
The use of alcohol is prohibited during play. Any participant found with possession of an alcohol substance will be asked to leave and will be charged with a forfeit.

Section 4. Sportsmanship
Unlike many sports, golf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee or umpire. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the Rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they maybe. This is the spirit of the game of golf.
