In addition, the following policies will be enforced:

1. Spectator carts are not permitted for insurance reasons, NO EXCEPTIONS.
2. Carts are assigned only to contestants. A caddie may use a cart only if a contestant is not displaced by such use.
3. Restrictions on cart use for players are at the discretion of the Host Site, and all players are bound by those requirements, subject to withdrawal for violations of that policy. Any such restrictions will be posted at the tournament site.
4. Two persons per cart only.
5. Carts must be kept on paths if available near greens and tees.
6. Any non-player riding with a player is considered a caddie and subject to any potential rules violations.
7. Pull carts are permitted as long as not in conflict with the Host Club rules.

 

WITHDRAW POLICY: Prior to the Entry Deadline, players may withdraw from a tournament and receive a full refund by completing the withdraw process on the tournament website, calling the AGA office (602) 944-3035 during normal business hours or calling the Withdraw Line at (602) 944-3035 ext. 210 and leaving a message.

After the Entry Deadline has passed, any withdraw will be considered a “late withdraw”. Tournament entry fees will only be returned if the player’s position in the field is filled by an alternate.
