To reserve a team, individual, or foursome, players must submit a Tournament Entry Form with payment.  All players are required to submit a Tournament Entry Form with prepayment.  Tournament is open to the first 100 paid applicants (unless noted).  Because we must guarantee (and pay for) the number of players one week in advance, NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED IF YOU CANCEL LESS THAN 7 DAYS IN ADVANCE. It will be the players responsibility to find substitutes. A full refund minus a $5.00 processing fee will be issued for all cancellations made 8 days or more before the date of the tournament.  Thank you for your consideration.

TEEBOX POLICY - In an effort to help even the field, players utilize different tee boxes based upon skill level. Players average their prior 3 scores. (Recreational and/or Tour) For those golfers who average 84 or less you will play from the mens back tee's determined by the Local Tournament Director.  For those players who average 85 + you will play from the mens front tee's.  Women will play from the ladies tee's.
 
In the case of a player scoring a 79 or less 2 times on the tour (in the same year) you will be moved back a tee box.  Being a game of honesty and integrity, we ask that you remember this when deciding what tee box to play from.


DRESS CODE - Golfers must wear a collared or mock turtle neck shirt (men) and non-denim shorts/ pants and spikeless shoes.  Please remind your playing partner of the tour dress code.  Jeans are not considered appropriate attire
