6. Each player has a responsibility to the entire field to score a competitors scorecard in a timely and accurate manner. Please score the cards at the next tee after each hole. Players should report to the scorer’s table immediately upon completion of play.
7. There are many lateral penalty areas on Egwani. These are marked by a red line or stake. Please review proper options (4) regarding red penalty areas. IN 2023 WE ARE GOING TO CHOOSE THE OPTION TO MAKE ALL TALL GRASSES LATERAL PENALTY AREAS AS ALLOWED IN TH NEW RULES OF GOLF 2022-23. ALL UNMOWED TALL GRASSES WILL BE PLAYED AS LATERAL RED HAZARDS. CALL THE NUMBER ABOVE IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION.
8. Out of bounds stakes have been removed from number 2 and replaced with red stakes. Really the only out of bounds would be over the fence beside the 2nd green.
9. There will be a drop circle at the bottom of the hill on hole Number 11. Any shot over the hill that finds any red hazard please use the drop circle to increase play. This would not include tee shots over the hill as would not be truly possible to identify a margin of crossing other than that at the top of the hill.
10. The rules of golf as defined in the “USGA Rules of Golf 2022-23” will be the rules in play for this tournament. Ruling officials will be Rob Daugherty (USGA certified) Tina Saunders (USGA master on call rules official). This committee, excepting a conflict of interest, will make rulings.

14. Range finders are permitted in this tournament. The player and/or caddy can use them at any time. These devices are not to indicate the slope or wind speed.
15. Rides on a cart are permitted from the ninth green to the tenth tee and from 18th green to 1st tee. Rides can be given by any cart for a lost ball or a ball out of bounds. The ride should be from the area of the lost ball back to the previous spot and back only. No other rides are permitted.
