Play will be in groups of three from both #1 and #10 tees.
CARTS AND CADDIES
The use of motorized carts of any kind is not permitted. Spectators are welcome and must walk unless advanced approval is granted by the Committee on a first come first serve basis.
Contestants may carry their own bag or employ a caddie. If a player brings his own caddie, he/she will be charged the guest room rate at The Wigwam.
DRESS CODE
The Patriot All-America Invitational dress code will be strictly enforced during the week. Suitable attire must be worn at all times. Contestants and caddies are required to wear golf appropriate clothing during all rounds, including practice and Am/Am event. No jeans, running suits, cargo pants, or tank tops of any kind will be allowed. Caps and visors must be worn with the bill facing forward. Sandal type golf shoes are not permitted. Failure to adhere to the dress code may result in withdrawal from the Invitational.
DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES
Distance-measuring devices that measure distance only may be used during the Championship. A player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only. If during a stipulated round, a player uses a distance measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g., gradient, wind speed, temperature, etc.), the player will be subject to penalty under the USGA Rules of Golf.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Unacceptable conduct or behavior during the Invitational week will not be tolerated and may be grounds for immediate removal from the Championship at any time. This applies to the golf course, clubhouse, hotel and all functions. The Tournament Committee shall be the sole judge in determining unbecoming conduct or behavior and any appropriate penalty or sanction.
