Guidelines
1. Varsity Competition will consist of Eight (8) 18-hole Region Tournaments. Tournaments will
consist of 10 players (6 Varsity and 4 JV) with 4 scores counting.
2. Stroke scoring will be used:
a. Each school playing 6 golfers and using 4 scores.
b. All golfers must exchange scorecards and score another player.
c. Scores should be written before the groups leaves the next tee. Any changes on the
card must be initialed by the scorer.
d. USGA rules are in effect unless modified by the local professional or region coaches.
e. The Region Champion and State Tournament Qualifiers will be determined by
accumulative Region Tournament scores.
3. State Tournament Play-off berth. In case of a tie for the last state berth, a one-hole play-off will
occur at the site of the last Region Tournament with each team playing 6 players counting 4
scores. It will be sudden death until a qualifier is determined.
4. Individual medals will be awarded to the top 12 players with the lowest scores after the Region
Tournaments. This will make up the All-Region Team.
5. Region Tournaments will work with the course to start at the optimal time for course and
school.
6. Varsity play will be from the blue tees or equivalent. JV will be determined by the host team.
7. No caddies may be used at any time.
8. Range finders are permitted on the golf course. Phones can be used only to contact a coach. As
part of the conditional use of the range finder, a player must allow any competitor in his group
to also use the device upon request.
9. Electric/Gas golf carts are not to be used by any player. Exceptions (due to disability, etc.) can
be approved by the region chair.
10. All players are to be dressed in appropriate golf attire. The following guidelines come from the
UHSAA Handbook: Appropriate attire is required for all golfers and coaches. Participants may
not wear denims of any kind of color. A participant must wear long pants, knee length skirts or
shorts (no denim, basketball, or cargo style shorts are allowed) and collared shirts or mock
turtlenecks. Penalty for breach or rule: two strokes and attire must be legal before player can
continue.
11. Spectators/Parents may attend but are not allowed to give advice to participants. Coaching is
only allowed by the designated school coaches (per UHSAA guidelines coaches must have
completed required coaches trainings and be an official member of the school coaching staff.)
Advice or coaching from spectators will result in a 2 stroke penalty. They will receive the
penalty after one warning from a coach or Marshall. Spectators must remain 50 feet away
during the competition.
12. Host school will be responsible for green fees, tee times, scorecards, scoring and all other duties
necessary for the match. Range balls are optional.
13. Rained out matches will be re-scheduled ASAP with agreement from the course.
