The SFLAGT will aim to achieve proper pace of play in all its events. We aim to complete our rounds in less than 4:20. The tour encourages ready golf.

A group is determined to be out of position when they have an open par 4 in front of them, or are more than 15 minutes behind the group in front of them. A group or player may be warned once, then they are subject to penalty at the discretion of the Tour Director.

4.       Rules of Golf

The SFLAGT will follow the USGA Rules of Golf for all events. A player may contact the Rules official or Tournament Director in case of a Rules question or follow Rule 3-3.

 3-3. Doubt as to Procedure

a. Procedure

 In stroke play, if a competitor is doubtful of his rights or the correct  procedure during the play of a hole, he may, without penalty, complete  the hole with two balls.

After the doubtful situation has arisen and before taking further action, the competitor must announce to his marker or fellow-competitor that he intends to play two balls and which ball he wishes to count if the Rulespermit.

The competitor must report the facts of the situation to the Committeebefore returning his score card. If he fails to do so, he is disqualified.

Note: If the competitor takes further action before dealing with the doubt

5.       Arrival at Event/First Tee

Upon arrival at the host Club, player must check in with SFLAGT. Player does not need to check in with Golf course.  Players will be given hole location sheets and scorecards prior to teeing off, as well as any other pertinent event information.

Rangefinders

Caddies

6.       Scoring

SFLAGT events will aim to provide a leader board system, tracking player scores at a minimum of two locations. Players will report their scores after 9 holes of play, and again one more time before the completion of the round. Being that these are One day, 18 hole events we want players to know where they stand in the competition and the Tour Director will provide that information to players who are interested at the two check point locations.

7.       Post Round

Players will report to the scoring area after their round to review their official scorecards, sign and return to the Tournament Committee.
