Handicaps:
Handicap cards are preferred, but other adequate proof will be accepted. There can be no falsifying of scores. Sandbaggers will be moved to the next flight at the tournament director’s discretion. Prizes may be forfeited.
Rules of Golf: Play will be governed by the Rules of Golf as approved by the USGA. Personal appearance must conform to the dress code at each tournament venue. Softspikes are required at most courses. Proper golf etiquette is required at all times.
Pace of Play: Most courses have a Pace of Play clause in our agreements. In general, we expect each group to average no more than 15 minutes per hole (a 4.5 hr. round). We will make every attempt to adhere to this policy.
Prizes: Prizes are funded from player entry fees. The purses are dependant on the number of players in each flight. Prize payout is posted prior to each event. Gift certificates and other merchandise are awarded in each flight. Ties for any prizes are broken according to the USGA recommendations.
