    Player Dinner Banquet

    One of the many aspects the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Collegiate which separates the player experience from other college tournaments is the Player Dinner Banquet directly after the tournament practice round.  While players, coaches and volunteers enjoy a buffet at the host club, the dinner serves as a welcome from tournament officials and a thank you to volunteers who support the tournament.  The dinner is also the opportunity for players and coaches to learn more about the life and character of Ryan T. Lee and the work of the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation.  Beginning in 2022, the dinner was enhanced by the invitation to a speaker prominent in the world of golf.  The tournament and foundation thank the individuals listed below for donating their time and support, and look forward to continuing to present speakers who have impacted golf on national level.

    About the Course

    Originally founded in 1924 and located in West Warwick, RI (now Valley CC), Ledgemont moved to its current location in Seekonk, MA in 1949 in order to expand to 18-holes to meet the demand of the growing membership.  The current Championship golf course was designed by renowned architect Alfred Tull.  Tull, a former Partner with Devereaux Emmet, was known for designing generous greens and creating natural, flowing routings that fit the landscape.  Ledgemont is considered a perfect example of his classical course design and has stood the test of time.  In fact Ledgemont has played host to many marquee events, including the New England PGA Championship, Rhode Island Open, and the Rhode Island Amateur.

    Spectators Are Welcome to Attend and Parking is Free!  Spectators are encouraged to attend this great event and follow some of the best collegiate players in the country.  All spectators are required to follow the code of conduct as specified below:

    Spectator Code of Conduct

    All spectators are required to abide by the NCAA Spectator Code of Conduct

    1. Advice (Rule 8) is any counsel or suggestion which could influence a player in determining his play, the choice of a club or the method of making a stroke. In addition, any conversation between player/spectator may be construed as advice. This includes any conversation between player/spectator in their native language. In either instance, penalty for breach of this rule is two strokes. Players are responsible for the actions of their relatives and spectators in regards to this rule.
    2. Keeping the above statement in mind, please keep your conversation with the player to words of encouragement as long as advice is not given.
    3. Spectators attend the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Collegiate at their own risk
    4. Please turn off all cell phones while on site at Wethersfield Country Club.
    5. The Tournament does not allow spectator carts except if the spectator has a permanent handicap placard. Handicap spectators must present their placard to the Golf Professional prior to getting a golf cart. Spectators will not receive a cart unless they have this official placard.  Letters from doctors or visible injuries will not warrant a golf cart without a placard.
    6. All players and spectators are not permitted to ride on the back of a golf cart at any time during the competition.
    7. Spectators should stay on cart paths. In the absence of cart paths, we ask that spectators stay in the rough. Please stay off fairways, tees and greens.
    8. Spectators should stay one shot ahead of the group they are following. This allows spectators to follow errant shots and help identify where the ball comes to rest. Spectators are allowed to aid in the search for lost golf balls.
    9. Spectators should not give rulings. Please seek a rules official if the need arises.
    10. Spectators are allowed to carry medicine, drinks, food, umbrellas, etc.
    11. The Tournament staff may assess a penalty to the player based on the severity of the spectator violation. If a serious breach has occurred, the spectator may be asked to leave the facility or the spectator may not be permitted to attend another NCAA event.
    12. For your personal safety, we ask you exercise caution at all times. When inclement weather moves into the area, the Tournament staff will suspend play by sounding airhorns. Accordingly, you should seek shelter immediately.  The Tournament staff will evacuate players from the course first and then spectators.
