In the event that play is suspended for the day prior to the completion of a round and will be resumed on a following day (such as when play during Monday is suspended Monday evening and will be resumed Tuesday morning), please proceed as follows: 

• DO NOT collect the players’ scorecards (if in stroke play). 

• Make note of location of players’ balls on digital Suspension of Play form found on the Committee website (Player A’s ball is in the front left bunker; Player B’s ball is on the right fringe; Player C’s ball is on the putting green 20 feet to the right of the hole) and how they are marked. 

• Inform players when play will resume, when practice facilities will be open and where they need to report for transportation back onto the golf course (if necessary) the next morning. If this information is not yet ready, remind them that they will receive further updates via cellphone text messages. 

• Return the match play scorecard (if in match play) and ensure you digitally submitted the Suspension of Play form. 

• Check with the person responsible for assignments if you will not be able to resume with the group/match the next morning, or if you have a conflict with the following day’s assignment. 

• Return to the USGA Office the following morning to retrieve the match play scorecard (if in match play). Return to course evacuation vehicle or site on course for resumption of play. 

• Bring extra scorecards for players. 

• USGA staff will do a roll call and ask for a “ready to play” report for each Referee before resuming play. Please answer “yes” or “no,” without any additional information. 

• After all players are reported in place, the Rovers will signal the resumption: two short air-horn blasts.
