Rules

The IHSAA local rule governing code of conduct for players prescribes that a verbal warning shall be issued on the first offense for conduct unbecoming high school players. Such conduct shall include, but is not limited to:

Club throwing or ball throwing defined as could cause harm to another participant, spectator, course or means of releasing frustration. Use of abusive language. Willful acts which damage property or equipment on the course. Other unbecoming conduct as determined by the Golf Rules Committee (coaches’ jury). Second offense, the player shall be assessed a two-stroke penalty.

Third offense, the player shall be disqualified.

In regular season meets, the code of conduct shall be enforced by the Golf Rules Committee (coaches’ jury) which in dual meets is comprised of the two head coaches and/or PGA pro serving as the rules interpreter in that dual meet. In multi-team competitions, the designated three-person coaches’ jury and/or PGA pro serving as the rules interpreter shall comprise the Golf Rules Committee.

Players and coaches have the discretion to alert the Golf Rules Committee if they believe a Code of Conduct violation has occurred.

The IHSAA Code of Conduct Rule does not negate the ability to enforce USGA Rule 1.2a for “serious misconduct” which may result in immediate disqualification. The phrase “serious misconduct” in Rule 1.2a is intended to cover player misconduct that is so far removed from the expected norm in golf that the most severe sanction of removing a player from the competition is justified. The committee must determine if the misconduct is serious considering all the circumstances. Please refer to USGA Rule 1.2a Interpretations for further clarification.

Any player who uses tobacco (including smokeless and similar devices) or gambles on the course is automatically disqualified per USGA Rule 1.2a for serious misconduct. In the case of gambling between players, the players involved are disqualified in that given circumstance.

Eligibility Rule 14(2) Penalties: Any student disqualified from an interscholastic contest by game officials for flagrant, violent, or verbal misconduct will be ineligible for the next regular scheduled game/meet at the level of competition and all other games/meets in the interim at any level in addition to any other 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.

Cell phones are allowed during competition as distance only rangefinders and for official competition score entry. Neither coaches nor players should communicate via cell phone except in case of emergency on the course. Cell phones are not available for casual use by players during competition. Use of a cell phone for unauthorized purpose(s) will result in a code of conduct violation per IHSAA rules.

Rangefinder devices (laser & GPS) are permitted during the regular season and throughout the IHSAA postseason. A player may obtain distance information ONLY from the rangefinder. Cell phones (including distance apps), iPods, Smartwatches (a touchscreen wearable computer in the form of a wristwatch) are permitted during competition. Devices designed to measure conditions other than distance are now permitted, PROVIDED the golfer only uses the device for distance measurement and not for the following banned information, which includes but is not limited to, wind speed, slope, or club selection. Players will be penalized if they use their rangefinder to measure anything but distance as a code of conduct violation and/or serious misconduct violation.

Players and coaches (coaches that are permitted to coach tee to green) are encouraged to share distance information upon request. A player with a rangefinder may shoot distance from their position on the course and relay that information upon request to another player, provided the process does not delay play. Spectators will not be allowed to provide or assist golfers with distance information.

COACH, PLAYER & SPECTATOR CELL PHONES

If a coach/spectator cell phone rings while a player’s swing is in progress, the player may take his original shot or hit a second ball. If the player elects to hit a second shot, the player must take the second shot regardless of the outcome. Understand, if a player’s cell phone rings during competition the player is assessed a code of conduct violation. Player Cell phones for casual usage are prohibited during regular season and all tournament play. No casual usage of a cell phone is allowed by a player until his round is completed and his score is turned into the official scorer. One exception to player use of a cell phone is in case of an emergency during the course of play.

GUIDANCE FOR BREAKING OF TEAM TIES IN REGULAR SEASON EVENTS

TEAM TIEBREAKER: Breaking of all team ties will be decided by using the fifth player’s score of that day, and if the tie is not broken with the fifth player’s score, use the sixth player’s score. In the event a given team has only four players and the team they are tied with has five players, the team with five players would break the tie and be declared the winner. If a team has only five players and a team tie still exists after using each team’s fifth players’ score, the team with six players would break the tie and be declared the winner. This makes the fifth and sixth player’s score more meaningful in the team concept. In a multi-team tournament scenario, if the team tie remains after using the fifth and sixth players score, a three-hole play-off should take place, using only the players’ scores who counted that day. If the three-hole play-off does not break the team tie, then utilize sudden death.

Holes

Mount Ayr Golf & Country Club Raider & Raiderette Rules 2024 First- welcome to MAGCC! We are excited to have you here to play on our beautiful course. Our groundskeepers work extremely hard to keep the course in such good shape - we ask that you please treat the course with the same respect you would give your own.

Course Rules:

**Hole 2: ** No mow on the right side is played laterally.

For red penalty areas, you have three relief options or play it as it lies (the same two relief options as you do for yellow, plus one additional option.) For a yellow penalty area, you may take relief by dropping into a relief area using (1) the spot at which your last stroke was made under stroke and distance (see Rule 17.1d(1)) or (2) the back-on-the-line relief procedure (see Rule 17.1d(2)). For a red penalty area, you have the two options above for a yellow penalty area, plus an additional option to take lateral relief. (3) Lateral relief allows you to drop a ball into a relief area measured from where your ball last crossed the edge of red penalty area. From that reference point, you are allowed to drop outside the penalty area and anywhere within two club-lengths of that spot, no nearer to the hole (see Rule 17.1d(3)).

Spectators

SPECTATOR REGULATIONS IAHASAA/IGHSAU Spectators, thank you for being here today to support these young athletes participating.

We do have some items we need to share with any of you who will be out on the course.

There shall be no coaching of golfers by parents or spectators. No spectator may instruct a player about any shot selection a player may make. Spectators may cheer and offer words of encouragement to players. However, extended conversations and other interference with play is subject to warning. If interference with play in any way, shape, or form continues, the individual(s) is subject to being asked to leave the premises by the tournament management.

Parents & spectators are to remain approximately 25-30 yards away from the golfers while watching so as not to hinder play. Once players reach the green, spectators should be up with the players even with the green on or near the cart path, so the approach shots of the next group of golfers are not hindered. Spectators should not follow players in the fairway. The only time spectators should be in the fairway is to cross to an adjoining hole, etc.

Players and coaches appreciate your support, but please let the players enjoy and play the game of golf. Remember, it is only a game.

Spectators may only use cell phones (talk) while in the clubhouse. Spectator cell phones need to be on silent or vibrate while on the course. Spectators are allowed use of their cell phones as a camera but should not use flash during play.

Thank you for your cooperation pertaining to these matters. Please enjoy your day!!
