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. 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.
