The purpose of this planning guide is to assist organizational event coordinators. Experience has proven that organizational events allow for unit morale building and is an excellent means to introduce military personnel to the sport of golf. Many first time participants gain sufficient interest to continue with the sport. 

Golf courses have unique operational and maintenance requirements associated with facility use by persons of different skill levels. Those "first timers" or beginners could easily impose upon other golfers without being aware of it. To allow for maximum activity utilization and help prevent costly or irrepairable damage, there are some requirements we ask you to consider prior to requesting approval for organizational golf tournaments. 

• Tournaments are not routinely approved during periods of peak use (weekends and holidays). Stuttgart Golf Course has reserved most Friday mornings for ID cardholder events, whether military or civilian. 
• Tournaments may not be used to raise funds for units or charities without approval of the Commander of USAG Stuttgart. 
• All food and beverages must be purchased through the Stuttgart Golf Course Restaurant. "Bring your own food" and personal coolers are not permitted. 
• Tournament participation with less than 50 players warrants only partial closure of the golf course for the event. Groups with less than 50 players are welcome and will be sent out using a "jet-start" - teeing off on #1, 18, 17, 16, etc so that all players make the turn through #1 as quickly as possible, opening the course for regular play. 
• Event coordinators must accept responsibility for ensuring that those new to golf are aware of basic golf etiquette. This includes replacing divots, repairing ball marks, keeping carts away from tees and greens, etc. To aid in providing this necessary information to participants, the coordinator or golf course staff will provide a briefing for all participants prior to teeing off. Please allow time for this 10 minute briefing when planning the start time of your event. 
• The Stuttgart Golf Course dress code requires proper (spikeless) golf shoes or sneakers. Bare feet, sandals, and boots are inappropriate. Shirts with collars are preferred. Undergarment t-shirts are not acceptable. Shirtless is unacceptable. Tank tops, sleeveless, mesh, halter tops, swim suit tops are unacceptable. Trousers and shorts should be hemmed, no cut-offs.
