Competition rules are as follows:

1. Contestants must play three consecutive rounds of six holes each and no practice holes may be played before entering in the competition rounds.

2. Contestants must play in pairs and each player must keep his partner's score and must sign the card before dropping it in the box.

3. If a ball be lost the player shall return as nearly as possible to the spot where it was struck and tee another ball and loose a stroke.

4. A ball out of bounds shall be treated as a lost ball, i.e. a player shall loose stroke, distance and he may tee the ball.

5. A ball may be lighted from any difficulty whatever and dropped not nearer the hole with a loss of one stroke.

6. The rules of the United States Golf Association govern all cases which are not provided for by the above rules. Ignorance of either will excuse no one.

7. Players shall not make a stroke till the parties in front are out of range.
