The attention of all competitors in The First Tee of Southern Nevada SNJGA events is called to Rules 6-8 (Discontinuance of Play) and 33-2d (Course Unplayable). Players have the right to stop play if they think lightning threatens them, even though the Committee may not have specifically authorized it by a signal.
In order to protect players and spectators, the TFTSN requires all players to stop play immediately upon notification of a suspension due to a dangerous situation such as lightning. Accordingly, the following Local Rule will be in effect at all TFTSN tournaments:
"When play is suspended by the Committee for a dangerous situation, if the players in a match or group are between the play of two holes, they shall not resume play until the Committee has ordered a resumption of play. If they are in the process of playing a hole, they shall discontinue play immediately and not resume play until the Committee has ordered a resumption of play. If a player fails to discontinue play immediately, he is DISQUALIFIED unless circumstances warrant waiving the penalty as provided in Rule 33-7" |
