Is there a rule about players in a competition leaving the course before 
they complete their round? I know they can be disqualified if they do so 
without a good reason.However,I have seen a low handicap player walk off 
after 6 holes because they are playing badly.Is there any other sanction 
other than disqualification for that comp?

Rule 6-8a provides for disqualification for a player discontinuing
play without permission from the committee.
The RoG don't extend themselves to penalties beyond the competition in
question; local clubs or associations might well have penalties for
such behavior beyond that.
Here in Northern California, the NCGA has a Hard Card that stipulates
various infractions for which the penalty might well be barring the
player from competitions for a year, or some such.

For instance:


"A player who does not show up and does not notify the NCGA shall
receive a one-year suspension from all NCGA events for the calendar
year following the infraction.  This includes team/club events.  NO
SHOWS also inlcude a player who starts and withdraws prior to the
close of the competition and has not turned in his scorecard
personally to a tournament official.  Failure to comply will result in
the same one-year suspension."

The same is true for a player wishing to withdraw for any reason
without notifying the NCGA:  "Failure to notify the NCGA will cause
theplayer to be listed as a NO SHOW resulting in a ONE-YUEAR
SUSPENSION FROM ALL NCGA EVENTS."  (Caps theirs, not mine.)

Using a cell phone "during a stipulated round...may result in
disciplinary action including withdrawing a player's playing
privileges for the rest of the championship or for the event the
following year."

The same is true for a player wishing to withdraw for any reason
without notifying the NCGA:  "Failure to notify the NCGA will cause
theplayer to be listed as a NO SHOW resulting in a ONE-YUEAR
SUSPENSION FROM ALL NCGA EVENTS."  (Caps theirs, not mine.)

Rule 6-8a provides for disqualification for a player discontinuing
play without permission from the committee.
The RoG don't extend themselves to penalties beyond the competition in
question; local clubs or associations might well have penalties for
such behavior beyond that.
Here in Northern California, the NCGA has a Hard Card that stipulates
various infractions for which the penalty might well be barring the
player from competitions for a year, or some such.

For instance:


"A player who does not show up and does not notify the NCGA shall
receive a one-year suspension from all NCGA events for the calendar
year following the infraction.  This includes team/club events.  NO
SHOWS also inlcude a player who starts and withdraws prior to the
close of the competition and has not turned in his scorecard
personally to a tournament official.  Failure to comply will result in
the same one-year suspension."

The same is true for a player wishing to withdraw for any reason
without notifying the NCGA:  "Failure to notify the NCGA will cause
theplayer to be listed as a NO SHOW resulting in a ONE-YUEAR
SUSPENSION FROM ALL NCGA EVENTS."  (Caps theirs, not mine.)

Rule 6-8a provides for disqualification for a player discontinuing
play without permission from the committee.
The RoG don't extend themselves to penalties beyond the competition in
question; local clubs or associations might well have penalties for
such behavior beyond that.
Here in Northern California, the NCGA has a Hard Card that stipulates
various infractions for which the penalty might well be barring the
player from competitions for a year, or some such.

For instance:


"A player who does not show up and does not notify the NCGA shall
receive a one-year suspension from all NCGA events for the calendar
year following the infraction.  This includes team/club events.  NO
SHOWS also inlcude a player who starts and withdraws prior to the

personally to a tournament official.  Failure to comply will result in
the same one-year suspension."

I'm off to Washington State in a week and a half for a weekend of golf
with usenet (and other) pals; in June we're down in Southern
California for a family wedding, and then again in July to greet
granchild #7; then in October, back to upstate NY to greet #8.

Hope to get back there to Europe in '08 (considering either Ireland
again, with the obligatory stop to see John Turner and his Mrs., or
Italy.)
