Measuring Devices Policy

All participants are permitted to use sky caddie/laser range finders/ GPS devices to measure distances. These devices may not be used for any other reason other than to measure distance (e.g. slope or elevation change).
These devices will not be provided to participants, if participants use these devices it is as a personal device. Course marshals will be on-hand to monitor the proper use of these devices.

Phone Policy

Phones may be used for measuring devices and GPS apps only. Talking and Texting will not be permitted (unless during a medical emergency). If used for any other reason than as a measuring device, phones will be confiscated. Course marshals will be on-hand to monitor the proper use of phones on the courses.

Power Cart Policy

During competition rounds, power carts are NOT permitted.

Spectator Policy

Parents and Coaches must maintain a 30 yd distance from players during the course of play, except around the greens where spectators must maintain a 10 yd distance from players. Spectators may not communicate with players, unless there is a medical situation.
Spectators may assist with finding lost golf balls during the course of play. Spectators are not to communicate, coach or speak with players during the search for golf balls. Spectators must wait until players arrive at the area where the ball has strayed to begin searching for balls. This policy has been enacted to assist the pace of play on the course.

WEATHER CONTINGENCY STATEMENT

In consideration of the outdoor nature of the sport of Golf, it is sometimes affected by weather; we appreciate your understanding if unforeseeable circumstances arise (frost delays, course closures based on rain, snow, lightning, etc.). Any delays will be at the discretion of the Golf Pro with the Course and the Golf Coordinators, and play will resume at their discretion. Any other contingencies will be addressed as they arise. It is important to note that due to the time of year it is unlikely that the Golf Provincials would be rescheduled to a later date.

PARTICIPANT CONCESSION SERVICES

There will be concessions available at the clubhouse on both courses during the tournament. Players will be provided with a bag lunch during the course of the day.

After signing their scorecard they will have an opportunity to submit a nomination form. This nomination form would include the player/coach/spectator name and brief description of what they did. Sportsmanship pins will be presented to player/coach/spectator at the evening banquet and Tuesday after the competition.
