POLICIES, PROCEDURES, & GUIDELINES:

• Prior to participating, participants should review the SCGA’s Policies & Procedures.

 

FORMAT:

• All players will participate in a 36-hole four-ball net stroke-play championship (18 holes each day)
• During the championship, players will use their Handicap Index as of September 23 and will receive 85% of their Course Handicap (unless otherwise noted by the SCGA).
• No substitutions are permitted at the championship proper.
• Awards will be given to those who finish in 1^st through 5^th place. All ties will be broken using the USGA-suggested method of matching scorecards (Committee Procedures: Section 5A (6)).

 

REGISTRATION:

• At least one player from each side must check in at the SCGA tent located outside of the clubhouse on Monday morning. Registration begins at 6:15 a.m.

 

PRACTICE ROUNDS:

• Players may plan for practice rounds at their own expense, based on availability. To book a practice round, visit glenivygolf.com or call the Golf Shop at (951) 277-7900. Standard guest rates apply. Major credit cards only will be accepted for purchase.
• Practice rounds are a privilege, not a right. The SCGA works with a variety of facilities throughout the course of the year, all of which have unique policies and procedures when it comes to practice rounds. These opportunities will be provided at the sole discretion of the host facility.
• We are guests and must follow all facility policies and guidelines when on property. Behavior during practice rounds will be subject to the SCGA Code of Conduct.
• Please note: A temporary green on Hole 5 is currently being utilized and may be in play during your practice round.  The original putting green should be available during the championship.

 

STARTING TIMES AND PAIRINGS: 

• Starting times and pairings will be e-mailed to players and posted online at scga.org one week in advance of the championship.
• Starting times will range from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. each day.
• Lead groups should plan to be at their assigned tee 10 minutes in advance of their starting time. Subsequent groups are encouraged to arrive once the preceding group has teed off. Players arriving late will be penalized under Rule 5.3a of the Rules of Golf. For example, the 9:00 a.m. starting time is defined as 9:00:00, and players arriving after that time are considered late.
