Advice – In addition to the provisions of Rule 8-1, the Note under Rule 8 of the USGA Rules of Golf will be in effect. Thus, each school may appoint one person (head coach, assistant coach, etc.) to give advice to, or ask for advice from, participants representing that school each day of the competition provided that:
a. Only one person is appointed to give advice to, or ask for advice from, participants representing that school each day of the competition;
b. The person is identified to the games committee before the start of the competition each day;
c. The person does not give advice to, or ask for advice from, another school’s participants or coaches;
d. The advice not be given during the playing of a hole but rather from the time a participant holes out on a hole until they tee off on the next hole (or during a suspension of play); and
e. The advice is given in a private manner and does not unduly delay play.
Penalty for breach of condition
By a participant – two strokes
By a coach – two strokes will be added to the coach’s school’s score
