ARRIVAL AND TEAM PHOTOS:
We would like all team members to be present at the golf course no later than 7:00 a.m. A team photo will be taken at 7:15 a.m. near the 18th putting green. At this time, SCGA staff will make announcements and cover rules for the day.
STARTING TIMES AND PAIRINGS:
The Championship will be an 8:30 a.m. shotgun for both the Thursday and Saturday Championships. Additionally, there are NO tee times available for alternates to play.
Players are encouraged to arrive at their assigned tee well in advance of their starting time, as the SCGA starter will have information to discuss and distribute to each player in the group. Furthermore, players arriving late will be penalized under Rule 5.3a of the Rules of Golf. For example, the 9:00 a.m. starting time is defined as 9:00:00, and players arriving after that time are considered late. Lead groups should plan to be at their assigned tee 10 minutes in advance of their starting time. Subsequent groups are encouraged to arrive in time to watch the group in front of them tee off.
PRACTICE ROUNDS:
Players may make arrangements for practice rounds at their own expense by contacting Rams Hill GC at (760) 767-3500. Practice rounds are available at the course’s discretion and based upon availability. Please identify yourself as a participant in the SCGA Team Play Championship when calling.

RULES OF PLAY:
Play is governed by the Rules of Golf. Local Rules in effect will be found on the SCGA Hard Card and the Notice to Players addendum distributed at the site. Disregard all other club posted Local Rules including those on the back of the club’s scorecard.
AUTOMOTIVE TRANSPORTATION / PULL CARTS & PUSH CARTS:
Golf carts are included as part of the entry fee and all players MUST ride. There will be a maximum of two carts per group and two bags per cart. Drivers must be at least 16 years of age (or older if club policy dictates). Each player is entitled to one seat in a cart. The SCGA will host one cart for each team for a designated official (non-playing captain, club professional, etc.). No other carts will be permitted.
DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES AND CELL PHONES:
During the play of all SCGA competitions, a player may obtain distance information by use of a distance-measuring device. If, during a round, a player uses a distance-measuring device to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g. elevation changes, wind speed, etc.), the player is in breach of Rule 10.2. A multi-functional device, such as a smartphone or PDA, may be used as a distance-measuring device, but it must not be used to gauge or measure other conditions where doing so would be a breach of Rule 10.2. Any questions about such devices should be resolved before the start of the stipulated round. Otherwise, cell phone use is discouraged during the stipulated round.

Caddies will NOT be permitted for the championship. Spectators are permitted but are not allowed in carts. Spectators must adhere to all policies set forth by the club.

A contestant may be removed from any competition at the discretion of the SCGA staff or Rules and Competitions Committee at any time before or during the competition.
