DRESS CODE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP: AS STATED IN THE ENTRY FORM, THE DRESS CODE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. For all MGA competitions, players must be neat in appearance with respect to personal grooming and clothing. All males are required to wear shirts with collars and sleeves, and either golf slacks or Bermuda shorts, which measure no higher than 2 inches above their knees. Shirts are expected to be tucked in unless specifically designed to be worn out. Examples of attire NOT ACCEPTABLE include the following: Cargo shorts, Short shorts, athletic shorts, tennis shorts, cut-offs, jeans, jean shorts, tank tops, t-shirts and sweat pants. The Committee will decide whether this requirement has been met and will withdraw the entry of a player who does not comply. Caddies are expected to follow this dress code as well; players will be responsible for the dress of their caddies.

 

            Gentlemen are expected to remove their hats upon entering the clubhouse.

 

FOOD AND BEVERAGE SERVICE: Food and beverage service will be available from the Clubhouse and the Beverage Carts located at the two restroom facilities (between #4 & 6 tees and behind #13 tee/#15 green). All food and beverages, except for that found at the 1^st and 10^th tees, are at the player’s expense.  Food and beverages found at the 1^st and 10^th tees are limited to the players and caddies only. 

 

CADDIES AND CARTS: Caddies ARE PERMITTED in the Championship.  Carrying your bag is permitted, as is the use of a pull cart (including motorized), but motorized riding carts are prohibited for players during the Championship.  Participating players who have a condition covered by the ADA may apply for use of a cart. Players having caddies should check in with the Caddie Registration tent adjacent to the Player Registration tent.

 

PRIZES: Trophies will be awarded to the Champion, Runner-up, and third place finishers for their permanent possession. Merchandise prizes will be awarded as determined by the Tournament Committee.
