Note that the Farm course is a separate facility from Greensboro Country Club’s main clubhouse in downtown Greensboro. The sectional qualifying is 18 holes, you must walk in all phases of the championship and you are responsible for providing your own caddie.  Greensboro CC has a small number of caddies on hand and may be reserved in advance through the golf shop on a first call first serve basis.  Players may carry their own bag during the qualifying round. Pull-carts are NOT allowed. Caddies will be allowed to rent a cart for the qualifying round at this site. However, caddies may have to share carts as not more than two carts are allowed per group.

 

USGA Policies: The USGA prohibits the use of cell phones and distance measuring devices during qualifying and championship rounds.  Also, the USGA does not allow spectator carts or spectators to ride in a caddie cart at qualifiers or the championship proper. Traditional metal spikes are not allowed.  The penalty for non-compliance is disqualification. The "One-Ball" rule will be in effect. USGA Hard Card rules sheet is available online at: www.carolinasgolf.org/rules/rulessheetsusgaqualifier2010grooves.pdf

.

Groove Policy for U.S. Senior Open Contestants: In Sectional Qualifying and in the Championship proper, the player’s clubs must conform to the groove specifications in the Rules of Golf that are effective from January 1, 2010. The condition of competition is available for review on the entry application.

The USGA and R&A have created a reference resource called the Informational Club Database to assist golfers in determining whether their irons, hybrids and fairway woods comply with the New Groove Rules.
