Pairings and tee times will be posted on the Website.  The Website will have the latest information about Tournaments

It is the player's responsibility to sign his scorecard and turn it into the scorers. Failure to do so disqualifies a player from placing in the prize fund for that tournament. Sign-up forms for upcoming tournament(s) will be available on line and with rules of tournament.

            Once the PAIRINGS have been made and you withdraw from a tournament you forfeit your entry fee ($5), regardless of when you withdraw.   If withdrawal from a tournament is 48 hours or less before the first tee time and no replacement is found and the course makes us honor our tee time commitments you may be penalized the equivalent of your Green Fees.  This Penalty may also apply to No Shows and needs to be paid before entry in another tournament is permitted.  No Shows in addition, may have a 3-month tournament entry restriction and/or rejection of membership for three No Shows without notification.  The restriction being, if a tournament fills you will be put on a wait list.  Green fees and cart fees will be paid at the Pro Shop on the day of the Tournament.

The REFUND LIST will have your name, tournament and amount to be used at a future tournament for that year or to be issued quarterly with the “winnings” checks.  You are to write directions to use this refund on your entry form of a future Tournament.

             In case of inclement weather, call the course the morning of the event to confirm whether or not the event will proceed.  The decision to play will be made early enough to allow players to make their starting times.  A lottery draw will take place for NCGA Qualifiers if Tournament is cancelled due to inclement weather.

             The FLIGHT WINNERS will be issued checks quarterly. All TIES to be broken by the NCGA method.  Ties are to be broken by comparing scores over the last nine, last six, last three and last hole, and finally match handicapped holes 1 thru 18, until a winner is determined.
