SAJGA Spectator Rules

Change in the Uniform Policy

The Board of Directors has made a change to the SAJGA Dress Code policy.

Effective immediately:

Ages 12 and younger - Appropriate golf attire and either an SAJGA shirt (SAJGA embroidered on it) or SAJGA hat (SAJGA embroidered on it).

Failure to adhere to this policy will result in a two-stroke penalty.

Members that do not wear appropriate attire will not be allowed to compete in the subject event(s).

Ages 13 and older - Appropriate golf attire.

Members that do not wear appropriate attire will not be allowed to compete in the subject event(s).

"Appropriate Attire" - Collared shirt, golf-style shorts/pants/skirt. If shorts/pants/skirts have belt loops, then a belt must be worn. No cut-offs, denim, bathing suits. The tournament director has the final say as to what constitutes "Appropriate Attire".

Use of Distance-Measuring Devices

The SAJGA Board of Directors voted to allow the immediate use of distance-measuring devices in all SAJGA tournaments. The device must be approved by the committee before a player can use it in an event. The main reason for allowing these devices is to improve Pace of Play.

The following Local Rule will be in effect for the remainder of the SAJGA season:

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 designated to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g., gradient, wind speed, temperature, etc.) the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional function is actually used.
