Carts, Spectators and Caddies
Carts are included as part of your entry fee. Only two carts are allowed per starting time. No exceptions. 

Caddies are allowed for this event and the actions of the caddie during the round are the responsibility of the player (Rule 10.3c). This is the default position for caddies for Central Links Golf events, but availability may vary from event to event or any other factors affecting this policy. Caddies are allowed to ride on and operate the golf cart, provided space is available. Central Links Golf has a strict two carts per group policy and the carts are reserved for the players first. If a group has more than one caddie, arrangements must be made within the group to accommodate the cart policy.  If you bring a caddie, they should be prepared to walk as a cart seat is not guaranteed. 

Spectator carts may be available at the discretion and cost determined by the host club.
