Process Overview

If you have not already registered, please complete the Registration Form provided in the initial email or contact Doug Botos for assistance. Please ensure that you can receive emails from this address as this will be the primary method of communication. The timeline of events leading up to your experience is outlined below:

1. On or before Mon Oct 20, all participants will receive their Greater Zion Club mobile tickets. Instructions on how to download these passes to your phone will be provided.
2. You will receive your tee times prior to your experience as detailed below in Tee Time Assignments.
3. You will then be able to cross-reference your tee time with player pairings (once announced) to discover which professional golfers you will be following.
4. On the day of your experience follow signage for VIP entry and Valet parking at 1500 South Weiskopf Way, Ivins, UT. You must show your Greater Zion Club mobile ticket for access. Please arrive and park no later than 30 minutes prior to the mandatory training meeting (see below) for all participants.

Tee Time Assignments

Participants will not receive actual tee times until days prior to your tournament experience. Tee times for Honorary Observers are pre-determined, and we cannot accommodate requests to be paired with specific pros.

• If your experience is Thu, Oct 23 or Fri, Oct 24, you will receive your assigned tee time via email no later than Wed Oct 22.
• If your experience is Sat, Oct 25 or Sun, Oct 26, you will receive your assigned tee time via email the night prior by 8 pm.

Participant Guidelines and Rules

Additional rules and instructions will be given during the mandatory training meeting and reinforced prior to your Honorary Observers experience on the first tee.

General Guidelines

• Do not walk in the fairway.
• Honorary Observers must adhere to all entrance procedures.
• Hole-by-hole walking instructions will be provided by the tournament showing which side of each hole participants must conform to.
• Participants may take bathroom or rest breaks of no more than 20 minutes (~1 hole) by leaving the rope line at any time. When you return and catch up to your playing group, please show your IR badge (Inside-Ropes) to a marshal to re-enter. You may not switch groups to any other playing group.
• Participants may also leave the experience at any time throughout the round to enjoy themselves in the hospitality lounges by simply leaving the rope line and not returning.

Additional rules to be enforced by PGA Security

• Do not speak to the players. A player may choose to introduce himself, but Honorary Observers should not initiate the introduction.
• Do not use your mobile device inside the ropes at any point during the round.
• No video recordings or photographs are allowed at any time.
• Do not carry or use cameras or range finders.
• Do not consult in official rulings.
• Again, do not walk in the fairway. Participants must walk in close proximity (six feet or less) of the rope line at all times.
• During competition, participants must stay behind play and out of peripheral vision of players, or as directed by tournament officials, for each shot during the round, specifically on tee shots. Guests may also be directed by tournament personnel around tees and greens to observe play from a safe distance.
• Honorary Observers will be permitted inside ropes access, but privileges may be recalled by PGA TOUR or tournament officials if these rules are not followed.
