Spectator Code of Conduct

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 Specator 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 CCSU Fall Invitational at their own risk

4. Please turn off all cell phones while on site at Hop Meadow 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 Tournament Director 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 Torunament 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.
