6. Player Check-in:
       Players  must  check  in  with  the  starter  at  least  15  minutes  prior  to  the
       scheduled  time  of  the  tournament.  Please  check  in  before  going  to  the
       range, restroom, locker room, Bistro, etc. This is necessary for the golf staff
       to arrange carts and clubs.

     7. Late Arrival:
       If  you  are  unable  to check in  with the  Starter at least  fifteen  (15)  minutes
       prior  to  the  start  time,  please  call  and  advise  the  Pro  Shop  of  your  arrival
       time.  If a player fails to call and arrives after the scheduled start time she
       may not be allowed to participate in the daily tournament.  Failure to cancel
       may be used to bar you from future tournaments.

     8. Group Assignment:
       The Pro Shop will assign players to groups based on handicaps.  If a player
       withdraws or cancels due to their group assignment this may be used as a
       basis to bar you from future tournaments.

     9. Handicap:
         a.  The  maximum  current  handicap  for  18  hole  tournaments  is  36.  The
          maximum  current  handicap  for  12  hole  tournaments  is  40.  There  is  no
          maximum  current  handicap  index  for  9  hole  tournaments,  but  the
          handicap  will  be  capped  at  40  during  the  event.  The  Handicap
          Committee  reserves  the  right  to  adjust  a  player’s  handicap  to  reflect
          tournament  and  social  play.  Handicaps  serve  to  equalize  the  playing
          field. In all tournaments lasting more than one (1) day, players must use
          the handicap that they began the event with in the same flight.
       b.  USGA Handicap: In accordance with the rules of the USGA, a current 18-
          hole  handicap  index  is  maintained  when  six  18-hole  scores  are  posted
          over  the  past  90  days.  A  current  9-hole  handicap  index  is  maintained
          when six 9-hole scores are posted over the past 90 days.
       c.  All players must use the World Handicap System. Your maximum score
          will be a net double bogey plus the amount of strokes you are given on
          each hole.

     10. Posting Scores:
         Players  are  responsible  for  reporting  the  results  of  each  round  of  golf
         promptly  after  each  match  or  round  of  play.    The  scorecard  shall  be
         signed by the scorer and attested by another player in the playing group.
         Players  must  post  scores  when  playing  courses  other  than  their  home
         course. Players are not prohibited from playing alone, only from posting
         solo-round scores for handicap purposes.

     11. Leaving the Course During Play:
         Any  player participating in  a sanctioned  women’s golf tournament  may
         not leave the golf course for any reason other than for illness or weather
         occurrence.  Stopping  at  the  Pro  Shop  area  (starter  station,  pro  shop,
         restroom and drink area) is permitted.  Restrooms on the course are also
         permitted.    Any  golfer  who  leaves  the  golf  course  for  any  reason  other
         than those listed above may be disqualified for the tournament.  This may
         also be used as a basis to bar you from future tournaments.
