CADDIE REGULATIONS

 

Caddies are required to follow the dress code set by the golf course.

 

Caddies must register each day and shall wear caddie identification provided by the CWC Committee.

 

For any breach of a Rule by the caddie, the player incurs the applicable penalty.  Rule 6-1.

 

The player is limited to only one caddie at any one time.  Penalty for Breach of Rule 6-4 - Two strokes for each hole at which any breach occurred; maximum penalty – Four strokes.   A player having more than one caddie in breach of Rule 6-4 must immediately upon the discovery that a breach has occurred ensure that she has no more than one caddie at any one time during the remainder of the stipulated round.  Otherwise, the player is disqualified.

 

The player’s equipment may be transported on a cart.  The player is the only person to ride in the cart.  No caddies or spectators are allowed to ride. 

 

Exception #1:  If pace of play becomes an issue with a group, a Rules Official or CWC Committee Member may shuttle Caddies.

 

Exception #2:  Prior to the commencement of the tournament upon written request and approval by the Committee, a Caddie may be allowed to drive the cart of a player with a verified physical condition that requires the Caddie to drive the player.

 

Use of cell phones on the course is strictly prohibited.  If a player or a caddie consistently disregards this policy, the committee can consider taking appropriate disciplinary action, such as removal of the offending equipment.  In case of a serious breach of etiquette the committee may impose a penalty of disqualification under Rule 33-7.

 

GALLERY GUIDELINES

 

The Committee asks for your cooperation in the following guidelines:

 

NO spectator carts are allowed.  Do not ask to ride in a player’s cart.  Please walk on cart paths or in the rough, not on the fairway.

 

Be aware of where you are in relation to all players.  Position yourself out of the way for both the players you are following and those groups behind them.  Move forward as soon as possible so players behind can safely hit.

 

The CWC Committee asks that all electronic devices such as cellular phones, pagers and alarm watches be turned off.  They can be distracting to the players and are a breach of sportsmanship code.
