GUIDELINES

Responsibility Of Players

Know and adhere to the Rules of Golf, local rules, and all conditions under which a competition is being played. Players must sign up in advance for all tournaments. Please do not enter a tournament if you cannot finish play.

Inclement Weather

All play dates and tournaments will be played unless the course is declared unplayable. If any players tee off (using carts or walking) by 10:00am, and finish playing 18 holes, the event will be official. Points will be given and scores must be attested. Attendance points will be given at the discretion of the committee. Rain dates will be designated for each individual tournament.

Major Tournaments

All Season Golf Members, who are not LGA 18-Hole members, may participate in 18Hole tournaments but will be charged a participation fee. Participation is complimentary for LGA 18-Hole Members. You do not have to play in the Medalist Tournament to participate in the tournament. Once the Medalist has been determined, the rest of the field will be seeded by handicap. In the case of a tie, sudden victory playoff will occur. Handicap limits for all major tournaments will be 32, with the exception of the Senior Tournament and Member-Guest. All gross tournament play must be from the IV tees.

Tournament Rain Date Schedule Spring Handicap

In the event that play is cancelled, the rain date will take place the following week. In the event that the rain date is canceled, the Golf House will determine the next available date. Any player not able to comply will need to forfeit.

PRESIDENT’S CUP

If the qualifying round is cancelled, the rain date will be the date of the first round. The first round then moves to the second round date, and the second round moves to the date of the final round. The final round can be scheduled with the Golf House during regular playing hours and must be played by the Friday of the following week. Any player not able to comply will need to forfeit.

EAST-WEST

In the event the first round of play is cancelled, the rain date will be the second round of play. The second round will be played on the next stroke play date. If the second round is cancelled on the rain date, tee times can be arranged with the Golf House for that Friday. Any player not able to comply will need to forfeit.

Club Championship

Any member of the LGA may play in the Club Championship Tournament. A player may either qualify for the championship flight by becoming the medalist or be flighted by handicap. In addition, a full season golfer who is not a member of the LGA 18-Hole may play in the Club Championship by paying an entry fee. The defending Club Champion receives the #1 seed, the winner of the Medalist receives the #2 seed, and all others will be flighted by handicap. If the defending Club Champion chooses to play in the Medalist tournament, she forfeits her right to the #1 seed and the #1 seed then becomes the winner of the Medalist. Members do not have to play in the Medalist event to participate in the tournament. Participants will be seeded by handicap after the medalist has been established. The Championship flight shall contain eight seeds by ladies who wish to play in the Championship flight. They shall by filled in handicap order, by any ladies with a current handicap index of 15.9 or less. A golfer with a handicap index of 15.9 or less may not choose to play in a subsequent flight unless the championship flight is fully subscribed.
