804.04 Rain or Hazardous Conditions

A. If, in the opinion of the director, excessive rain or hazardous conditions exist that make
it impractical or dangerous to continue play, the tournament shall be suspended. The signal to
suspend play shall be the same as the signal to start.

B. Players shall immediately stop play and mark the lie of each member of the group. A natural
object is sufficient to mark the approximate lie from which the player shall resume play.
Players shall then return to the first teeing area, clubhouse, or area designated by the
director.

C. Players shall resume play from their approximate lies as established when the round was
halted. The approximate lie is determined by a majority of the group.

D. The director may allow players to take a break while waiting for weather to improve, but may
require players to return each hour on the hour or at a time assigned by the director until
play resumes or until the round is postponed.

E. The director may postpone the incomplete portion of the round for a later date if, in the
director's opinion, the conditions will not improve or if darkness will fall prior to the
projected finish time.

F. Partial round scores shall be carried forward to the completion of the round whenever the
round is resumed.

G. A player who stops playing before a signal to stop has been given shall receive two penalty
throws if, in the opinion of the director, the player stopped playing prematurely.
