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 four hours and thirty minutes in groups of four during the

become necessary to speak to individual players about slow play, we hope they

championship and the other players.

Thank you and Good Luck!!
