Players Meeting / Announcements: A WVGA staff member will hold a player’s meeting 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the shotgun round. It is imperative that all players be at their golf carts at this time so that the WVGA staff can go over the Notice to Players for that particular day as well as any announcements from the host facility. Once concluded, players will be instructed to their starting holes.
Registration: All contestants must register and pay in advance for each tournament. Entries may be paid for via online registration, or by downloading a paper entry with payment by check or credit card. Registration into each event must be filed prior to the entry deadline. No “day of” payments will be accepted at any time. Please contact the WVGA if you have questions.
Entry Deadline: The entry deadline for each Senior Series event will be 48 hours prior to each tournament date. No entries will be accepted after this time.
Withdrawal Policy: Refunds will be issued to those who properly withdraw before the registration deadline. An $8 processing fee will be assessed. Withdrawals made after the registration deadline will not be issued a refund, with the exception of a medical emergency or the like.
Transfer of Entry: For West Virginia Golf Association One-Day events only, players may transfer their entry fees to another one-day event site. To successfully transfer the entry fee, players must submit a written request to Cory Hoshor, at choshor@wvga.org.
Score Posting: At the conclusion of each event each player’s score will automatically be posted to the GHIN Handicap System. Please do not enter your own scores from the competitive round, as this will result in a double post.
