Eligibility and Rules: Players must enter as an individual or in a group of four. Entries are open to male and female amateur golfers who are members of CGA member clubs. All player information must be filled out completely. Incomplete entries will be returned. Player substitutions are allowed at registration. Substitute players must present a current USGA handicap card from a CGA member club, no more than 60 days old from the tournament date, to the official-in-charge at registration. A player with more than one CGA handicap index must use the lowest current index. The CGA official-in-charge reserves the right to adjust handicap indexes or withhold prizes for competitors whose handicaps are considered unrealistic or who have participated in a disproportionate share of CGA prize distributions.
Entries: Entry forms are accumulated for the entire Open/Close window. Open/Close dates, online registration, tee times and tournament results are available at www.carolinasgolf.org. Tournament fields are selected using a "blind draw" method. Alternates are ranked according to the date an entry is received. Entries are subject to rejection at any time, including during the tournament, by the Carolinas Golf Association. The CGA is not responsible for errors or delays made by any mail or delivery courier. Fax, e-mail, telephone, late or incomplete entries are not accepted. A check for the appropriate entry fee payable to the Carolinas Golf Association must accompany each entry form. A $20 administrative fee is deducted from all refunds. No refunds are given after a closing date. When One-Day Tournaments are scheduled on consecutive days, priority in acceptance is given to those who enter both events. Confirmation of acceptance is sent to Player 1 listed above. Preference is given to groups of four. Individual entries are paired together to fill vacant tee times. Tee time requests are not accepted.
Prizes and Merchandise: Prizes are awarded for low gross scores and low net scores in predetermined handicap and gender brackets. The number of net prizes is determined by the number of entries. If winners are not available, prizes are mailed to the individuals. Ties are broken on the score card using the USGA recommended method. A player is disqualified if his net score beats the course rating by eight or more strokes and beats the next best net score by four or more strokes.
Cart Fees: Cart fee is mandatory for all players at all sites. Walking may be allowed, depending on club policy.
