As required by the ADA, the USGA will evaluate such requests on a case-by-case basis. In order for the USGA to properly evaluate the merits of such requests, while maintaining the fundamental fairness of the golf competition, it is necessary for play- ers requesting this accommodation (whether submitted by the player, by the player for the player’s caddie or by the parent/legal guardian of a minor player) to submit medical documentation to facilitate that analysis. The documentation provided must demonstrate: (1) a player’s (or caddie’s) disability as defined by the ADA; (2) the medi- cal need for the golf cart that results from that disability; and (3) that by providing a golf cart to a player or caddie in that particular circumstance, the USGA would not be fundamentally altering the fairness of the competition by providing a player with an advantage over other players. The required form entitled Golf Cart Request Form (as well as additional important information for first time and subsequent requests for a cart) is available at the following link: www.usga.org/championships-hub/additional- entry-resources/requesting-a-golf-cart.html.

Transfer will be based on the date the side was completed. Transfers are final. Qualifying sites are final after entries close. Qualifying sites may be canceled due to lack of participation. **Some Qualifying sites may charge a fee for a practice round. In the event of inclement weather, Qualifying will take place as soon as possible following the originally scheduled date.
