Advice
Competition - During regular season play, coaches may decide the level of advice appropriate for their players.
Coaches may advise their players in post season play only between the green and next tee without holding up play. Players can take no longer than 40 seconds to hit a shot. Violators should be warned and educated. Assist all players with pace of play. - A school may have an Assistant Coach give advice in competition ONLY IF the Head Coach is coaching both a Boys and Girls program. This person must be on file with the TMSGA.
- Individual participants may receive advice from the coach approved by their school's principal.
