ORDER YOUR CADDY BIB TODAY! (Deadline is June 8, 2010)

Caddy Policy: We suggest players select a parent, grandparent, other family members, or friend at least thirteen years of age as their caddie, so that both can experience the joy of competition. Allowing a caddie is a special component of our events as our commitment to encourage family interaction. Caddies must refrain from over-coaching the participant for whom they are caddying. Please review the rules below to help make the experience more enjoyable.

Important USGA Caddie Related Rules
• Rule 14-2b states that in “making a stroke,” a player shall not allow his caddie to    position himself on or close to an extension of the line of play or the line of putt    behind the ball. A caddie may position himself in this manner before the player    commits to beginning his swing but must move away once the player is set to begin    his swing. Failure to do so will result in a two-stroke penalty.
• Rule 8-2b states that when a player's ball is on the putting green, the player or his    caddie may before, but not during, the stroke, point out a line for putting, but in doing    so the putting green shall not be touched. No mark shall be placed anywhere to    indicate a line for putting. Violation of this rule will result in a two-stroke penalty.
• Rule 17-3 states that the player's ball shall not strike the flagstick or attendant when    the flagstick is attended or the flagstick is in the hole, unattended, or when the ball    has been played from the putting green. Should this occur, the player is assessed a    two-stroke penalty, and the ball is played as it lies.
• Rule 8-1 states that a Caddie is one who carries or handles a player's clubs during    play and otherwise assists him in accordance with the rules. A player may only have    one caddie at any given time. A caddie may be replaced or eliminated at any time by    the player. No other person may offer advice or help to a player other
than his caddie.

Always remember that a rules violation by the caddie is the same as if the player violated the rule. A caddie must be aware of the rules and assist his player in accordance with the rules. Rules officials are in place throughout the course to help players when needed.
3. Pace of Play Policy (NEW FOR 2010)
Rule 6-7 states, in part: “The Player shall play without undue delay and in the accordance with the pace of play guidelines which may be laid down by the committee, “and thereafter prescribes penalties for slow play. In order to prevent such a penalty, we suggest that you review carefully the following guidelines.
Allotted Time
Groups will be required to play at no more than the allotted time published for the event. The allotted time for each course will be determined prior to each event and posted in a prominent location at the tournament site, and will be noted on your official scorecard.
Par 3: 13 Minutes / Par 4: 15 Minutes / Par 5: 17 Minutes which includes walking between Holes.
If you are “Out of Position” you will need to do your best to catch back up in to position. A Group that is “Out of Position” will be timed. The first player to hit has 60 econds to play the shot. Each player after has 40 seconds.
1st Offense: Warning
2nd Offense: 1-Stroke Penalty
3rd Offense: 2-Stroke Penalty
4th Offense: Disqualification
CLOCKS WILL BE POSITIONED ON THE TEE BOX ON HOLE 4 AND HOLE 8 ON BOTH SIDES.
THESE CLOCKS ARE TO BE USED AS A WARNING/ NOTIFICATION OF YOUR PACE OF PLAY.
YOUR SCORECARD HAS THE TIME LISTED OF WHERE YOU SHOULD BE IN YOUR ROUND.
Definition of “Out of Position”
The first group to start will be considered out of position if, at any time during the round, the group is behind their allotted time.

Any following group will be considered out of position if it (a) is taking more than the allotted time to play and (b) reaches the tee of a par 3 hole and the hole is clear, fails to clear the tee of a par 4 hole before the preceding group clears the putting green or arrives at the teeing ground of a par 5 hole when the preceding group is on the putting green. Both (a) and (b) must apply for a group to be out of position.
Timing
A group may be monitored or timed for compliance with this pace of play guideline if it is “out of position.” When a group is “out of position” a player in the group is expected to play any stroke within 40 seconds. The first player to hit in each group has 60 seconds.
Other than on the putting green, the timing of a player’s stroke will begin when he has had a reasonable opportunity to reach his ball, it is his turn to play and he can play without interference or distraction. Time spent determining yardage will count as part of the time taken for the next stroke.
On the putting green, timing will begin after a player has been allowed a reasonable amount of time to lift, clean and replace his ball, repair his ball mark and other ball marks on his line of putt and remove loose impediments on his line of putt. Time spent looking at the line from beyond the hole and/or behind the ball will count as part of the time taken for the next stroke.
NOTE: The Committee reserves the right, at any time, to time a group when the Committee deems it necessary. Players should also be aware that the Committee may assess a “bad time” to a player in a group which is out of position if the player makes no effort to help his group get back in position. An example of this would be a player who unduly delays play between shots.
4. Out of Bounds: Where white stakes or fence posts are used, the nearest inside points at ground level define out of bounds. When out of bounds is defined by a white line on the ground, the line itself is out of bounds. A ball coming to rest on or crossing any public road is considered out of bounds, even if it comes to rest on another part of the golf course.5. Water Hazards: Defined by yellow lines and designated by yellow stakes. In the absence of lines, the stakes both identify and define the hazard.6. Lateral Water Hazards: Defined by red lines and designated by red stakes. In the absence of lines, the stakes both identify and define the hazard.7. Ball Drops: A “ball drop” is an area enclosed by a white line having the words “ball drop” printed inside it. A “ball drop” is not ground under repair. The line itself is in the “ball drop”.8. Ground Under Repair: Enclosed white lined areas define ground under repair. The white lines are considered in ground under repair. Other areas of ground under repair, even though not so marked include:
a. French drains (trenches filled with stones or like)
b. Fire ant beds and mounds9. Flower Beds Identified by Blue Stakes: To be treated as Ground Under Repair. Relief is mandatory.10. Sod Seams for Lie of Ball Only: To be treated as an embedded ball through the green. All seams in a given area are deemed to be the same seam. See Appendix I, Page 98.11. Lifting an Embedded Ball: The “Embedded Ball Rule” as written in Appendix I, page 98 is in effect “through the green.”12. Code of Conduct: Violations of the code of conduct include: abusive language, club throwing, cheating, disrespect of volunteers or officials, abuse to the golf course or the facilities, littering, or any other conduct unbecoming of a player. First offense: warning; Second offense: disqualification. Repeated violations may lead to rejection of future entries.13. Dress Code: Players and caddies must adhere to the following dress code: Only acceptable golf attire is permitted. Players are prohibited from wearing shoes with metal spikes, short shorts, swimwear, denim of any kind, t-shirts, or tank tops. Players or caddies not appropriately attired will not be permitted to participate.14. Result of the Competition: When all the scores have been posted on the official scoreboard and approved by the Future Champions Golf Committee, the result of the competition is deemed to have been officially announced.21.

The Future Champions Golf Rules Committee reserves the right to change the Rules & Regulations prior to the start of any event.
