Sportsmanship –

Golf is a game for gentlemen and ladies and all players are required to maintain control while playing in all events on the 7-up tour.  A player acting in a un-sportsmanship manner that is seen or heard by a rules official or playing competitor will first receive a warning, the second offense will result in a two shot penalty, and the third will result in disqualification immediately and the player will be taken off the golf course.  A severe act of un-sportsmanship conduct will result in disqualification and requires no previous warnings.  The player will not be allowed to compete in any more events throughout the season.  If a player is not asked back to upcoming events their money will be refunded for the remaining events.

  • Un-sportsmanlike conduct includes but is not limited to; club throwing, cursing, defaming other opponents, vandalism of the course, cheating.
