COURSE CONDITION: Hole No. 2 is under construction and will be out of play for the championship. Therefore, Hole No. 4 is split into a par four with a temporary green and a par 3 now making the course a par 71.

DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES: A player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only. However, if during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (i.e. gradient, wind-speed, temperature etc.), the player is in breach of Rule 14-3. Penalty is DISQUALIFICATION.

TAILORED DRESS SHORTS ARE PERMITTED. A player or caddie violating this Dress Code will not be permitted to start the competition. A violation of the dress code by either the player or his caddie must be rectified without undue delay or the player will not continue to play or the caddie will not be allowed to perform the acts of a caddie.

RULES: USGA Rules apply. Each contestant will be given a local rules sheet at the course. Remember: The “One Ball Rule” will be in effect throughout the championship. Automotive transportation is permissible during the championship for players only. There will be no spectator carts permitted.
