VGT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

Liability Disclaimer

 

You acknowledge that your participation, as a player or as a parent or guardian of a Junior golfer, in any Vancouver Golf Tour (“VGT”) event shall be played entirely at player's own risk. You, hereby release and discharge VGT and its Shareholders, Officers, Directors, Employees, Volunteers and Representatives from all manner of actions, causes of action, suits, liabilities, damages, costs, claims and demands whatsoever which may arise out of the involvement and participation in VGT Tournaments including bodily injury, death, property damage and/or other whether caused by negligence of other members of VGT or of any of the VGT Shareholders, Officers, Directors, Employees, Volunteers and Representatives.

 

WHO CAN PLAY?

 

VGT has been designed for both male and female Professionals and Amateurs with Golf Canada handicap factor of 26.0 or less.  You can play as a VGT member which entitles you to priority registration and preferred pricing (along with member gifts) or as a non-member.  However, in order to play any events, you must register on the software platform, Golf League Genius (“GLG”) and become a GLG member.  Therefore, you will need to complete this step by Registering to the Master Roster of GLG. 

 

Your tournament play is completely managed by you as you will determine whether to join VGT membership, whether to play a tournament or not and whether to withdraw from a tournament or not.  There will be no involvement by VGT in this process.

 

VGT Handicaps for Amateur Flights

 

 It is mandatory for ALL Amateur flight players to have a current Golf Canada handicap ID number. It can be obtained through any Golf Canada member club or through the BCGA Players Association.  A current USGA GHIN number is also accepted.

 

ALL Amateur flight players with a “(h)” by your name indicates the lack of a downloadable valid handicap factor. Failure to provide a valid handicap factor will result in players being placed in the Championship division with a +1.0 factor.

  1. A current PGA of Canada Member in good standing
