Barrett Amateur Championship

The following individuals will receive an invitation to compete in the Barrett Amateur Championship.

1. The use of caddies is not compulsory. Competitors requiring a caddie should mark the appropriate section on the application. In the event there is a shortage of caddies all caddies will be decided by lot.
2. A caddie may not wear shoes with conventional spikes; however, spikeless golf shoes and golf shoes fitted with soft spikes may be worn. Violation of this condition may result in the disqualification of the competitor.

The Champion at the 2008 Barrett Amateur Championship will receive exemptions into the 2008 Canadian Amateur Championship.  The 104th Canadian Amateur Championship is scheduled for the Paradise Canyon Golf Resort (Lethbridge, AB) from August 10th - 14th, 2008.

Except when specifically permitted by the Event Rules Committee, competitors shall walk at all times during a stipulated round. In an effort to accommodate, the Committee can allow, in exceptional circumstances, use of a power cart or other special equipment by a competitor who cannot, in the opinion of the Rules Committee, participate in this competition because of a serious, permanent physical impairment. Use can be denied if the Rules Committee believes the use of such a power cart, or other special equipment, would give a competitor an undue advantage over other competitors in the competition. A current medical certificate along with a letter describing the disability and explaining the competitor's needs must be submitted at the time of application filing.
The penalty for breach of this transportation condition is described on the event standard local rule card.
Note: "Motorized Power Cart" does not include battery operated "walk behind" carts which are permitted.
