Spectator Regulations: Spectators cannot communicate with a golfer on the course until the golfer has submitted her official scorecard to the scoring officials. (Walking immediately alongside a player is deemed to be communication.) Spectators may cheer, applaud and offer words of encouragement to golfers; however, spectators must adhere to golf etiquette when doing so. Spectators are allowed to assist a player in looking for a lost ball, but at no time provide any type of instruction. Spectators are asked to refrain from use of cell phones on the course but may use them in/around the clubhouse. Spectators disrupting play in the opinion of the Rules Committee will be removed from the course. Competitors may be disqualified if in violation of this rule. Spectators should remain in the rough or on the cart paths and always keep parallel to the golfers. Smoking and alcohol consumption are not allowed during IGHSAU sanctioned events. Please make sure the course management and spectators are made aware of this.
Water/Food Distribution: The IGHSAU allows a parent/spectator to hand beverages/food to their player/daughter on the course, with every effort being made to be given between green and tee and without communication between them.
The IGHSAU thanks its official partners for their continued support of the Iowa Girl. Their investments allow the IGHSAU to provide the very best championship experiencer for student-athletes across the state while continuing the vision and mission established by longtime Executive Director E. Wayne Cooley.
