that team member’s starting time.

time and no further changes may be made by the team for that round. However, prior to the 10-minute mark, the team may
withdraw the substitution by notifying the NJCAA Golf Tournament Director and/or the NJCAA Representative and may substitute

player is entered as an individual, once they have begun play, they cannot be used as the sixth player for the team standings in
