The Patriot Showcase will have a 2-person 4-ball component to it in addition to the standard stroke-play tournament scoring. During registration, players will be asked to name their preferred 4-ball partner for the tournament, and will be paired with that person during each round.

Each round, the 2-person teams will be scored in the "Best Ball" format, meaning the best score on each hole between the 2 players with be used to achieve a team total score for each round. There will be a separate Team 4-Ball leaderboard and awards given out for the top 2 boys and girls teams. 

Players are not required to choose a 4-ball partner and do not have to participate in the 4-ball portion. Every player in the field is required to hole out their ball on each hole, so as to keep the stroke-play element of the tournament in tact and allow for the submission of scores to all relevant ranking databases. 

(*For preferred 4-ball partner, please email donnasmith@tjgt.com)

PLAYER NOTES

- All players MUST hole out their ball on each hole and record their score and players are not to give advice to each other – this is still a stroke play, individual tournament. The 4-Ball team portion of the tournament will be calculated at scoring by TJGT officials.

- All unmaintained areas, high-grass areas and marshy areas will be played as RED PENALTY areas, whether marked as such or not. Players will use the mow line as the penalty line.

- All property fences, white stakes, parking lots, roads and back yards are out-of-bounds

- Spectators may shuttle players from hole No. 9 to hole No. 10

PRACTICING AFTER COMPLETION OF HOLE
Between the play of two holes, a player must not make any practice strokes on or near the putting green of the hole just completed or test the surface of that putting green by rubbing the putting green or rolling a ball. The penalty for doing so is the general penalty under Rule 7.2(2).

SPECTATOR/PLAYER INTERACTION
Players and spectators are not to have interaction during play. Per USGA Rule 10.2, the soliciting of “advice” by a player or giving advice or discussions between player and spectator that may be construed as advice is prohibited. The penalty for breach of Rule 10.2 is the General Penalty (2 strokes). Understand, there is no warning associated with Rule 10.2 – first breach is an immediate 2 stroke penalty. Players witnessing a violation under the Player-Spectator policy are instructed to inform the player in question immediately and contact a rules official as quickly as possible.

DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES
In accordance with USGA Rules of Golf, the Note under Rule 14-3 for all TJGT Events: Therefore, a player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only. If a player uses a device that measures more than distance, the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether any such additional information function is actually used.

If players wish to purchase a yardage book for this tournament, they may do so for $50 through their TJGT account dashboard under the "Add-Ons" section. Unless otherwise specified, all yardage books will include Course Yardages and Green Maps for every hole. 

Yardage books ordered through the TJGT website will be handed out at check-in before Round 1. Any player wishing to have a yardage book before hand (for practice rounds) may order the yardage book from the Puttview website - https://puttviewbooks.com/

The TJGT tournament staff reserves the right to alter the yardage posted come tournament time for any reason - weather, course conditions, pace of play, etc - but will strive to have the competition tees set as close to, if not exactly on, the yardages posted for each division.

It is the responsibility of the player when playing a practice round to practice from the yardage posted on the TJGT website; tournament tees are set the day of the first round, not before. The TJGT is not responsible for where the tees are set at a golf course on non-tournament days; we recommend playing a practice round from the yardage specified on the tournament information page, regardless of where course tees are set on a given day, as those tees may not accurately reflect the yardage played during the tournament.
