SPECIFIC POLICIES REGARDING PERSONAL CONDUCT
1. Policy on Conduct – Conduct which is judged to be inappropriate at a Links at Novadell event could result in a player or team being removed from an event and or suspended from participating in future events. If a player or team is removed it is because of a violation of the policy on conduct and the player or team will forfeit any entry fee made to enter the tournament. Abuses include, but are not limited to, excessive displays of temper, damaging club property, excessive consumption of alcohol, excessive swearing, failing to comply with club or tournament policy, or other actions which cause hardships or embarrassment to the employees of the host club. Any abuse will be treated on a case by case basis and handled by the tournament committee.
2. Policy on Dress – The Links at Novadell Dress Policy is in effect through tournament golf as well as everyday golf. No blue jeans or denim is allowed and all participants must wear a collared shirt. Mock collared shirts are acceptable as long as the collar stands at least 1-inch in height. The Links at Novadell has the right to suspend a team from competition that violates the dress code in a Links at Novadell event.
3. Policy on Slow Play – Slow play is detrimental to the game. For this reason and in the interest of making the game as enjoyable as possible for all, the pace of play will be monitored at KPGA tournaments. Players in KPGA tournaments are responsible for knowing the pace of play guidelines in effect at that particular competition.
