AUTOMOTIVE TRANSPORTATION (NEW) "One Seat Policy"
The player or the player's caddie may ride in a golf cart during a stipulated round, but both may not ride at the same time. Additionally, the USGA reserves the right to limit or suspend the use of golf carts due to inclement weather, unsafe use of the golf cart or circumstances where use of the golf cart would present a hazard to others, the course officials, the golf course or for other unforeseen circumstances. If the player’s caddie has a disability and the caddie would like to ride in a golf cart throughout the stipulated round in addition to the player, consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a disabled caddie may be permitted to use of a golf cart as an accommodation to his or her disability. As required by the ADA, the USGA will evaluate such requests on a case-by-case basis. To evaluate such requests, submission of the Golf Cart Request Form for the caddie is required (as well as additional important information for first time and subsequent requests for a golf cart). The Golf Cart Request Form and additional information is available at the following link: http://www.usga.org/championships-hub/additional-entry-resources/cartpolicy-at-usga-senior-amateur-championships.html.
DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES
In Sectional qualifying and in the Championship proper a player may obtain distance information by use of a distance-measuring device. If during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance-measuring device to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (eg. elevation changes, wind speed etc.) the player is in breach of Rule 4-3.\
DRESS CODE
Players and their caddies must abide by the dress code of the host facility. The USGA encourages appropriate golf attire. Each player is responsible to know the dress code and is subject to review by the tournament committee.
CLUBS: GROOVES
