2020 PNW Four-Ball Championship Player Information PLAYER INFORMATION COVID-19 CHAMPIONSHIP POLICIES The PNW Four-Ball Championship Committee cares deeply about the health, safety, and well-being of our players, as well as everyone at our host facilities. The intent of the policies and guidelines is to minimize potential exposure to COVID-19 by utilizing publicly available guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), but the Committee cannot guarantee a risk-free environment. Everyone is responsible to do their part by following these guidelines to make our championships as safe as possible. The policies and procedures may be updated and/or modified at any time. Before arriving on-site for a practice round or championship, if you feel sick or show any symptoms of COVID-19, or if within the last fourteen days you have felt sick, have shown any symptoms of COVID-19, have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or have been in close contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19, we request that you stay home and notify us before your starting time. If you are unable to start the championship due to any of these, a refund will be granted. Social distancing must be practiced at all times by maintaining a minimum 6-foot distance from others. A mask or facial covering should be worn when a 6-foot distance cannot be met and may be required in some areas in accordance with Washington State guidelines (including entering clubhouse or F&B areas). Wash your hands frequently. If you are unable to wash your hands, use hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer will be available on the starting tee and at the scoring area. Gatherings are prohibited –players are asked to leave the host facility after their round is complete unless dining in designated areas. If there is a possibility you might be in a playoff, we ask that you still leave the host facility, and we will contact you well in advance with instructions on returning to the host facility that same day. Players are asked to refrain from handshakes, hugs, and high-fives. Practice range stations will be spaced to promote social distancing. Practice balls will be set out at each station, and practice putting green cups will be removed or modified. Additional restrictions will be enforced during competition; please reference the Local Rules section.

EVENT LOCAL RULE - BUNKERS In alignment of COVID-19 golfing restart rules the committee has decided to remove all bunker rakes from the course. Per USGA suggestion we will played preferred lies which would allow a player to place the ball elsewhere in a bunker without penalty.

Before being lifted, the spot of the ball must be marked· The ball must be dropped from knee height and both land in and come to rest within the relief area within the bunker. The area in which a player intends to drop may not be improved in any way, including smoothing, raking, kicking or any other action that will materially improve the conditions of their stroke. The act of using a club to measure the one club-length area is permitted, provided it is done in a reasonable way and does not materially improve the area in which the player intends to drop. Upon exiting the bunker, players should make the best effort possible to fill and smooth all footprints. PACE OF PLAY POLICY We want all players to enjoy competing in the PNW Four-Ball Championship.

  • PGA.Com Names RI Golf Course in Top 10 Wednesday, July 20, 2011 Golocalprov Features Team
    Web article from GoLocalProv.com PGA.com Names RI Golf Course in Top 10 Wednesday, July 20, 2011 GoLocalProv Features Team Rhode Island's Newport National Golf Club has been named by editors at PGA.com as one of the Top 9 (get it?) links-style courses in the US. "I was delighted to see Newport National make the list," writes PGA.com Interactive Producer TJ Auclair, who states "in the interest of full disclosure" that he's a native Rhode Islander. There isn't a bad hole out there "I've played there a handful of times and it is unlike anything else around here -- an absolute delight to play. There isn't a bad hole out there. Each time I arrive at NN after a 30-minute drive from my home, the look and feel makes me believe I should have traveled several thousand miles to get there. What a treat." "Newport National is one of the finest public courses I have ever played anywhere in the world," Auclair told GoLocal. "Having been fortunate enough to cover professional golf for the last several years, I've traveled throughout the U.S., Canada, parts of Europe and the Caribbean. I've played countless golf courses. There's just something about Newport National that makes me smile whenever I think about it. I get butterflies when I know I'm going to play there because it's just such a treat. I feel like I'm off to Scotland for a round of golf, minus the jet-lag and the rain!" Auclair credit Matt Adams, president of the facility, for much of its appeal.
