TOURNAMENT RULES & SCORING

The 2024 SGUSA Official Rules of Speedgolf will govern play. USGA rules apply. Rule 27-1 concerning lost balls & out of bounds is in effect, but shall be modified to a 1-stroke penalty. Official timing - the elapsed time for a player's round will start at the official tee time. Timing will be stopped when the ball is holed on the player's final green.

SCOREKEEPERS / CADDIES

**Volunteers are encouraged to sign up here by selecting the Volunteer option above. All players will be assigned a volunteer scorekeeper who either runs or drives a cart alongside during their tournament round. Scorekeepers must perform the following duties: a) Mark their player's score on the official scorecard. b) Help locate their player's ball (staying 1 shot ahead is encouraged). c) store & provide hydration and extra golf balls (supplied by the player) at player's request. Additional duties that may be performed by scorekeepers include d) raking sand traps for their player. e) repairing ball marks on greens.   

All players have the option to bring their own scorekeeper with them to the tournament. Aside from the ability to keep up with their player, volunteer scorekeepers must meet two additional requirements: 1) arrive at the 1st tee staging area 15 minutes before their player's scheduled tee time. 2) commit to accurately and truthfully recording your player's score. 3) Abide by the above guidelines.

If you do not bring your own scorekeeper, we will pair you with a friendly and capable volunteer recruited from the local community. 

Advice - USGA Rule 8 shall remain in effect, and advice is not permitted from players or spectators.  Any verbal or physical communications between players and spectators could be construed as giving/receiving advice and may result in a 2-stroke penalty. The scorekeeper will serve as an eyewitness.

Spectators are allowed to help search for lost balls.

EQUIPMENT

No Equipment on Greens - Per SGUSA policy, players may not place or drop bags/clubs/equipment (other than the ball) on the surface of the putting green for the purpose of making a stroke.  Violations of this rule shall incur a 1-stroke penalty per incident.

Finish With All Equipment - Players must finish their round with all of their equipment through the green of the last hole played.  The penalty for leaving equipment on the course is 1-stroke per incident.
