Serving Golf In Southern Nevada Since 1967

 

This policy applies to all SNGA-administered competitions, USGA qualifying competitions, NSGA competitions, and any other competition administered by the SNGA.

By submitting an entry for any SNGA-administered competition, the player understands that their participation is at the sole discretion of the SNGA. A player may be removed from any competition at the discretion of the SNGA staff or the rules and competitions committee at any time before or during the competition. Incidents of unbecoming conduct or actions deemed to be detrimental to the image of the SNGA or the spirit of the game are grounds for such removal and suspension from future SNGA-administered competitions. These include, but are not limited to the following:

• Willful damage of the golf course or golf course property
• Cursing, berating and/or cursing a rules official
• Throwing clubs
• Any action that may damage the host golf facilities
• Potential endangerment of others
• Conduct deemed unbecoming

Suspension could also result from actions that are disruptive to other players or create an unfavorable image of the association. A player that performs an act considered to be unsportsmanlike conduct will have the incident reviewed by the Southern Nevada Golf Association Board of Directors to determine if further action including suspension is warranted.

Missed Tee Time/No Card

If a player, without prior notification to the committee, misses their tee time or fails to return an 18 or 36 hole score without a valid excuse, they will automatically receive a written warning. The next offense within a two year period may result in a suspension from the next two SNGA Events.

Electronic Devices

Electronic Devices other than SNGA Approved "Distance Measuring" Devices are prohibited. GPS and Rangefinders that include other calculations such as slope are strictly prohibited. Prohibited devices include but are not limited to: cellular telephones, pagers, Ipods, MP3's, CD Players, etc. If a player is caught using these devices during the course of play, the player will be disqualified from the event and may face further sanctions. Cellular telephones may only be used in emergency situations.

Caddie/Spectator Conduct

Any person accompanying a competitor must declare if they are a caddy or a spectator before play starts. Spectators are not authorized to ride in or drive golf carts. The competitor will be responsible for the cost of the additional cart for his caddie in conjunction with the hosting golf club. If additional carts are not available or prohibited by the hosting club, the caddy must walk, or the competitor must walk. Three people in a cart is prohibited. The player is responsible for his caddie’s conduct.

Outside Alcohol and/or Illegal Drugs

Under no circumstances are players allowed to bring outside alcohol or illegal drugs onto the property. If a player is caught with outside alcohol or illegal drugs the player will be disqualified from the event and asked to leave and may face further sanctions.
