GOLFZON TOUR PLAYER BEHAVIOR CODE

SEASON 3 PLAYER BEHAVIOR CODE

PLAYER BEHAVIOR CODE

The GOLFZON Tournament Committee has established the following Player Behavior Code. If a player violates the behavior code, the Committee may impose penalties based on the severity of the violation. If the same behavior code is violated multiple times during the tournament or if additional violations occur, the next level of penalty will be imposed.

Article 1: Behavior

  • If a player’s behavior falls under the following categories, the Committee may apply penalties as outlined in Article 4:
    • Repeated use of abusive language
    • Damaging or throwing clubs
    • Engaging in disrespectful or offensive behavior towards other players, competition officials, spectators, or staff
    • Damaging tournament facilities or the course (e.g., bunker mats)
    • Delaying play by using function keys other than directional keys at kiosks (no directional keys may be used on the putting surface)
    • Engaging in violence, or smoking at the tournament venue (considered extremely improper behavior)
    • Using electronic devices (e.g., mobile phones) during the tournament is permitted and must be in silent mode
    • Offering or accepting advice in contravention of the rules
    • Repeatedly violating tournament rules (more than twice is considered extremely improper behavior)

Article 2: Attire

  • Players must dress neatly and in accordance with any specific dress code regulations for the tournament. Team uniforms provided by GOLFZON or the Host Facility and pre-approved by GOLFZON must be worn appropriately during all rounds.

Article 3: Player Friends, Family and Spectators

  • Friends or family of players and spectators must also dress neatly and comply with any dress code regulations for the tournament. (If a friend, family member or spectator is involved in a behavior code violation, the Committee will decide if the player should be held accountable, and the Committee’s decision will be final).

Article 4: Penalties

  • If a ruling is required regarding the behavior code, the relevant committee will determine whether a violation has occurred, and the decision will be final.
    • Step 1: Warning
    • Step 2: General Penalty (2-stroke penalty)
    • Step 3 or Extremely Improper Behavior: Disqualification
    • Note: Violations occurring between holes or rounds will have penalties applied to the next hole or round.

Article 5: Committee Decision

  • The Tournament Committee will determine whether any behavior code violation constitutes “extremely improper behavior,” and their decision will be final. If the Committee believes the violation warrants referral to the Disciplinary Committee, they must submit a written report to the tournament organizing committee.
