Spectator Guidelines and Policies

Spectators may view play from no closer then 30 yards. Talking to or advising players during play is not permitted. A player may be assessed a 2 stroke penalty for each violation of this rule, with a maximum penalty of 4 strokes and disqualification.

Spectator carts are NOT permitted.

Cell phones are not appropriate on the golf course. Please set your phone to silent. If you must make a call please leave the course. Please keep in mind that some courses do not permit the use of cell phones.

All spectators should be appropriately dressed. Please refer to the Dress Code section under General Policies.

Please be appropriate and appreciative of the staff and host facility.

All spectators are to adhere to the following guidelines:

• In order to maintain consistency, we ask that all spectators view play from the "rough" only. Spectators need to "stay up" with the group they are watching. Lagging behind slows play for the entire field.
• Spectators are not officials and should not make rulings on the golf course.
• Please be courteous to all players:
  • Make sure that you are never standing directly behind (or in front) of any player preparing to hit.
  • Encourage all players with applause and compliments.
  • Keep small children under control.
  • Be conscientious when talking with others that players may be preparing to hit.

Please remember that part of the player's experience with the Foundation is a learing experience. Therefore, spectators are not allowed to interfere with the assessment of penalties and/or score keeping. If a spectator or competitor has a score or ruling question they should ask for assistance from a tournament official.
