(per the Board Approved Business Plan):

• CFHLA will not secure any complimentary alcohol for the outings

• Only 9 alcohol hole sponsorships will be permitted (every other hole)

• "Shots" will not be permitted at any hole sponsor booths

• CFHLA Staff will secure a "Sergeant of Arms" to detail this policy for all golf participants, prior to the start of play

(2018 Sergeant of Arms - Jesse Martinez, General Manager of The Alfond Inn at Rollins)

• No alcohol may be served to anyone under the legal drinking age

• No alcohol may be served to anyone who is visibly intoxicated

• Non-alcoholic drinks and / or food must be available at a minimum of 9 holes

• Unauthorized alcohol will be confiscated and disposed of

• Anyone serving shots or unauthorized alcohol may be asked to leave the outing immediately, forfeiting their hole sponsorship and will not be permitted to
