of design, comprised either entirely or partially of metal (when such metal
comes in contact with the surface of the putting green) are prohibited. Penalty for breach of this condition: Disqualification.

defined as a few minutes more than four hours in groups of three during the
Championship rounds. The FSGA Pace of

speak to individual players about slow play, we hope they will react with the
understanding that we do it in the best interest of the Championship and the
other players.
The pace of play for the
stroke play rounds will be posted on the Notice to Competitors.
Thank you and good luck!
