1. Attire:

• Appearance during the qualifying,  practice rounds and competition should be normal and acceptable golf attire: tank tops, tee-shirts, short shorts, denim shorts, and jeans are not acceptable;

• During tournament play, any team uniform must be worn and tucked in at all times. Each team member is required to wear the items designated as the uniform for that day. 

• If a hat, cap or visor is worn, it shall be displayed in the proper manner and should be removed while indoors.

• Team Uniforms as directed by the Team Manager should be worn during travel days and at Opening Ceremonies.  On travel days, expectation is the jacket is worn at all times other than when on the airplane or in hot circumstances.  Please discuss with the Team Manager if you are unsure.  Most likely travel to the location will involve wearing the full team uniform (without tie) and return home will be casual, but please confirm with Team Manager.
