PACE OF PLAY & RULES: Please be sure to keep up with the group in front of you. Groups that miss their 18-hole checkpoint (finishing over the designated time and more than 14 minutes behind the group in front of them) are subject to a two-stroke penalty. In order to keep an adequate pace of play, players are asked to pick up once maximum score has been reached on a respective hole; failure to do so will result in a two-stroke penalty.
The Rules of Golf as approved by the USGA and the R & A are in effect. It is the player’s responsibility to have a working knowledge of the rules. For more information regarding the rules, players can visit the NCGA’s website: https://ncga.org/rules/
MAXIMUM SCORE: A gross double bogey on any hole due to the format. Players may play up to net double bogey for accurate posting purposes if maintaining a good pace of play.
SERIOUS MISCONDUCT & DRESS CODE: A player who is removed from the course for Serious Misconduct will result in a loss of all funds and potentially a suspension from future events. Players and Caddies are to dress appropriately. For more information, please refer to the NCGA Weekend Net Tour Hard Card.
PLAYER OF THE YEAR: The top overall net scores will receive points on the Weekend Net Tour Player of the Year list for their finish, please look at the points distribution table on the Weekend Net Tour page for point allocations. Please note that each rotation is a separate tournament.
CARTS: Single-rider carts are available to all pre-authorized players, unless two players are from the same household. Players from the same household will share a cart. Players assigned to walking will receive a $15 credit back onto their credit card at the completion of the event.
DRIVING RANGE AND PRACTICE GREEN: The driving range and practice green are available for use 45 minutes prior to a player’s tee time. To avoid overcrowding and to give everyone the opportunity to use these areas, players are to limit the amount of time at each area to a maximum of 15 minutes.
SPECTATORS AND CADDIES: In an effort limiting the number of people at the facility, spectators and caddies are not allowed. Spectators and caddies who show up at the facility will be asked to leave.
SKINS: Players opted in or out of an optional skins game for the cost of $10 with return to golf survey information as part of the entry fee. Players may not buy into the skins game on the day of the event. Players who did not fill out the survey will be considered opting into the skins game. Any changes to opting in or out of the skins game must be within 72 hours prior to the event. No cash will be awarded post round.
GIFT CARD DISTRIBUTION: The top performers in each flight will win gift cards to GolfMart stores. These will be distributed by email and will be done in batches, so gift card monies may not be received for up to 6 weeks. Please be sure your email in Golf Genius is up to date.
