GENERAL REGULATIONS

• The competition is relegated to amateur golfers as defined by the USGA's Rules of Amateur Status. "An 'amateur golfer' is one who plays the game as a non-remunerative and non-profit-making sport and who does not receive remuneration for teaching golf or for other activities because of golf skill or reputation, except as provided in the Rules." No ranked professional golfers will be knowingly allowed into the competition; the honor system will prevail until winners are declared at which time participant status will be checked.
• Teams are comprised of 2 persons: 1 Adult & 1 Junior. There are 12 team categories for each challenge.
• Adults i.e. father, mother, aunt, uncle, etc. can play with as many children on separate teams as they choose. Teams must register for participation either online @ www.familygolfchallenge.com, in-store at a retail partner location or, "walk-up" at the host venue.
