The full text of these MLRs can be viewed at www.usga.org/RulesClarifications
DRESS CODE:
Golf shirts (including mock neck) are required. Players may wear golf shorts of the appropriate length. No tank-tops, t-shirts, denim, levis, or sandal style golf shoes are allowed. All other dress codes which have been dictated by the club must be adhered to. The dress code is in effect for any caddies and/or spectators that will be on property as well.
CLUBS: GROOVES:
The Local Rule as prescribed by Section 8 of the Committee Procedures is in effect, except that the Exception in the Model Local Rule does not apply (see Model Local Rule G-2).
DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES:
The Local Rule as prescribed in Section 8 of the Committee Procedures is in effect. Model Local Rule G-5:
"Rule 4.3a(1) is modified in this way:
During a round, a player must not obtain distance information by using an electronic distance-measuring device.
CADDIES:
Qualifying Rounds: A player may provide his own caddie. If he wishes to have the host club furnish a caddie, he should ask the Official in Charge because sufficient caddies may not be available at the host club.
Championship proper: A player may provide his own caddie. If he wishes to have a caddie provided to him by the host club, he must complete the information as outlined in the Memorandum to Players.
A player is not required to employ a caddie for any stage of the Championship.
FOOTWEAR:
The Local Rule as prescribed in Section 8 of the Committee Procedures is in effect at all qualifying sites unless the qualifying site is indicated by an asterisk on this entry application. Model Local Rule G-7.
TRANSPORTATION:
The Local Rule prohibiting the use of motorized transportation as prescribed in Section 8 of the Committee Procedures is in effect, except at certain qualifying sites as indicated on this entry application where the caddie only is permitted to use motorized transportation. Model Local Rule G-6.
As a general rule, players and their caddies must walk the course at USGA Championships and at most qualifying rounds. But consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a disabled player or caddie may be permitted to use a golf cart as an accommodation to his or her disability for those events where golf carts are not allowed. As required by the ADA, the USGA will evaluate such requests on a case-by-case basis.
In order for the USGA to properly evaluate the merits of such requests, while maintaining the fundamental fairness of the golf competition, it is necessary for players requesting this accommodation (whether submitted by the player, by the player for the player’s caddie or by the parent/legal guardian of a minor player) to submit medical documentation to facilitate that analysis. The documentation provided must demonstrate: (1) a player’s (or caddie’s) disability as defined by the ADA; (2) the medical need for the golf cart that results from that disability; and (3) that by providing a golf cart to a player or caddie in that particular circumstance, the USGA would not be fundamentally altering the fairness of the competition by providing a player with an advantage over other players. The required form entitled Golf Cart Request Form (as well as additional important information for first time and subsequent requests for a cart) is available here.
GOLF BALLS; DRIVER HEADS:
Only brands of golf balls on the most current List of Conforming Golf Balls and driver heads on the most current List of Conforming Driver Heads may be used. Updated lists may be found on the USGA website at www.usga.org or by contacting the USGA Equipment Standards Department at (908) 234-2300. See Model Local Rules G-1 and G-3. The one ball Rule as prescribed in Section 8 of the Committee Procedures is in effect. See Model Local Rule G-4.
