In just a few short months, the 2014 Morgan Cup will be underway. As many of you know, this event is unlike any other and because of that, and the magnitude of what is happening, there are some rules that must be followed. This year, these rules are to be followed and will be strictly enforced. Failure to abide by them will result in penalties up to and including DQ.
Other rules will be addressed at the event.
Staff Sponsor Day
On Staff Sponsor Day, you are to be there at 9am. Not 8:45am and mull around, not 9:05am, but 9am sharp.
You must be prepared for work. This includes knowledge of the company you are representing.
You must be ready and take any activities given to you by your sponsor seriously.
You must be prepared to update a Staff Sponsor Day Live Update Thread throughout.
If you are going to be hitting another sponsor's equipment, do so away from any cameras.
Sponsor Rules
All OEM Headcovers must be used on clubs before and after each shot.
You must use the glove supplied by the OEM if a glove is being used.
If your company did not supply specific apparel or accessories, then all non company logos must be covered up by tape at the discretion of the official.
The clubs received at Staff Sponsor Day are what will be put in play during competition. No exceptions.
Headwear is to be worn at all times during your round.
Shirts must be tucked in and remain tucked in at all times. If it comes untucked, it must be fixed immediately.
Event Course Rules

Cell phones are not permitted to be used during the golf round in any fashion.
If a media person asks for an interview (on or off the course), regardless of your situation or mindset, you must take the interview at that time.
There will be NO swearing of any kind on the golf course. Proper language is needed. This is to be strictly enforced.
There will be NO club slamming or throwing of any kind or you will be asked to leave the event.
There will be no music playing during matches.
You must respect the pace of play policy of the golf course.
Failure to stay on pace, will result in forfeiting holes until caught up & this will be strictly enforced.

General Rules
Fans and followers are allowed on the course, but must wait for the group to move to their ball before proceeding (staying behind players).
Each fan/follower must be checked in with GolferGal before being allowed on the course. Failure to do so, will result in having your team forfeit the match in question. This is to be strictly enforced.

Alcohol is prohibited during event play. Failure to comply will result in forfeiture of match.
If you are drinking a soda, bottle of water, or sports drink, please make sure brand label is not showing on camera.
Results are to remain a secret until THP gives the green light. This goes for posting on other sites or social media. Failure to do so, will result in your team being disqualified from the event.
The most important rule of all is that if you are unsure of something, please ask.
Other rules will be addressed at the event.
