Fan Information

Parents and friends are welcome to follow players throughout the tournament, per NCAA guidelines. Spectators must remain on the cart path and may use carts only if medically required. Spectators who are walking must either stay on the cart paths or in the rough at least 50 yards away from players at all times.

Communication between spectators and players is prohibited and may result in a penalty to the player as it can be seen by a third party (fellow competitor or a coach from another team) as giving advice to the player.

The penalty for a player asking for and/or receiving advice from a spectator is two strokes under rule 8-1.

The definition of advice is "advice is any counsel or suggestion that could influence a player in determining his play, the choice of a club or the method of making a stroke."
