TEE TIME SELECTION:

When choosing a tee time, as a courtesy to others that have signed up planning to play with friends, we ask to leave those slots open until the Wednesday prior to the event. After that Wednesday, the tee sheet is open. If you see someone on the tee sheet & would like to play weith them, we recommend reaching out to them directly.

 

Thank you!

Weather – Cancellation/Postponements

  • There are a couple of automatic no brainer circumstances when we will cancel the event:

    • Dangerous weather including lightning, very high winds, and torrential rain.

    • Carts not allowed on the course

    • If either of those two things occur, we cancel play immediately.

  • Decisions will always try to be made as soon as possible

  • If a decision has been made to cancel the event, we will post online and send emails

  • If weather causes a delay during an event, we will wait one hour at the most and decide at that point

  • If all players have completed 9+ holes, the event will use the completed holes by the entire field for official results

  • This also applies to the Club Championship
