IHSAA Rules

penalties the IHSAA or school may assess. The second violation carries a four games/meets automatic ineligibility. It will be the responsibility of the host school meet manager to report any disqualification(s) to the IHSAA the day following the meet, if the meet is held on a Friday or Saturday, then on the Monday following the meet. It is the coach’s responsibility to inform his/her administrator of any disqualification(s). The administrator will file an official report form with the IHSAA on-line.

The IHSAA and the Golf Coaches Advisory Committee feel the code of conduct rules are appropriate.

STROKE PLAY – THE GAME OF GOLF

For all regular season and IHSAA sanctioned tournament play (district or state meets), USGA playing rules will be followed unless modified by the local committee or IHSAA manual. As noted in USGA Rule 1.1, the ball shall be played as it lies except as otherwise provided in the rules.

Errors or Discrepancies: Any errors or discrepancies that take place during stroke play are to be corrected prior to turning in the scorecard to the official scorer. The round begins with the first tee of the competition and ends when the scorecard has been attested to and turned in, then it is too late to make corrections and all scores stand. Coaches should verify with the tournament manager the scores are correct when posted. If the head coach elects not to attend the posting of scores and verify his team score(s) are posted correctly, then the player(s) scores stand as posted. This will not preclude circling a given hole(s) score for the committee or coaches’ jury to review at the conclusion of play, but it would permit a correctable situation at the completion of play, prior to turning it in to the official scorer. Coaches should remind their golfers to record the score after completion of each hole (all players involved). If there is any discrepancy, players should make every effort to resolve the discrepancy before playing the next hole. If the discrepancy can’t be resolved, circle the hole/score and seek a ruling from the coaches’ jury before turning in scorecards.

At the conclusion of play (each competition day) every player in the group needs to verify that all scores are correct. If there is any discrepancy, the group should go to the coaches’ jury and/or PGA pro serving as the rules interpreter before turning in the scores. Coaches may view a player’s scorecard immediately following the round, but coaches should not hold on to scorecards while waiting for other team members to finish.

SCHOOLS WHO MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO USGA RULES DURING THE SEASON (LOCAL RULES)

Prior to the event, schools that make exceptions to USGA rules during the regular season must have them in writing and communicated to all the schools involved, otherwise USGA rules apply except for IHSAA manual differences during the regular season and tournament play. All IHSAA sanctioned tournaments will follow USGA playing rules unless otherwise specified by tournament management.

During regular season or IHSAA sanctioned tournament play (sectional, district or state meet), players are not allowed to chip or putt on any hole on the course (before competition begins), this also applies once competition play begins regardless if you have completed the hole in tournament competition, excluding the practice green(s). In regular season, check with meet management pertaining to the opportunity for a player to chip or putt on a completed competition green.

DISQUALIFIED PLAYER

If a player is disqualified for any unsporting like act, he is ejected from the entire one or two-day tournament. If a player is deemed disqualified from any two-day tournament on day one, for a misapplication of a rule, illness/injury after he has put his ball in play/started competition (not unsportsmanlike conduct), the player is disqualified and his score will not count the day he is disqualified. This individual would be able to compete and his score would count on the second day only of a two-day event. The coaches’ jury at this particular tournament site would make the final ruling pertaining to any unusual circumstances dealing with a disqualification except for unsportsmanlike behavior.
