amateur golfer

[AAA]

i couldn't find much on "appearance money" ,, it talks about the winings going to charity's and stuff like that but nothing about a entrance or appearance money that could be given to an amateur golfer ,,, this is probably not something that has ever happened but i was just curious as to what the rule would be

Personal Appearance

An amateur golfer of golf skill or reputation must not use that skill or reputation to obtain payment, compensation, personal benefit or any financial gain, directly or indirectly, for a personal appearance.

there you have it
that's the rule , but what if the money is accepted? who will be the one telling you not to do it? The amateur golf police ,heheh
does that make him or her a pro after taking the money.
