Tour Committee reserves the right to initiate a time limit on
any players due to course, club, weather, pace-of-play
or any other concerns.
Girls 8-10 & Boys 8-9 Only:
- These two groups must be accompanied by a parent/chaperon
- Groups must include a walking scorer (16 years or older)
- Players may be asked to withdraw if no walking scorer is provided
Star Point System:
Points are awarded for each tournament based on the following point structure:
1st......25 2nd.....20 3rd.....16 4th.....13 5th.....10 top 10.....5 top 20.....3
In the case of a tie, players will split the points.
Beginning with Tour Stop #2, we will be flighting based on previous week's score all age groups with 12 or more players. There will be 4-6 golfers in each flight providing an opportunity for golfers to win in each flight. Prizes will be awarded to all flight winners. Players will still be awarded cummulative points based on OVERALL finish in their age group. Tour Committee may request the lowest flight(s) to play an abreviated round due to course, club, weather, pace-of-play or any other concerns.
All Stars:
Individuals qualify for All Stars by participating in Chapter tournaments and accumulating points based on finish. Each Chapter will field a team of no more than 14 players using the following criteria: Boys Division - 2 from each age group; Girls Division - 2 from each of the girl’s age group. Vacancies will be filled from the next available qualifier in the division age group in question.
Ties: Points should be combined and split for tournaments where a tie exists. If at the end of the season there is a tie for total points accumulated, ties should be played off on the course to determine which player will advance to the All Star Championship.
Points awarded for the Chapter Championship will be doubled and added to the points accumulated during the regular season.
All Star qualifiers must have played in half (4) of chapter events (8) to advance to All Stars.
All Star Team Competition:
- The team score is computed using the best score of the two players in each age group. The teams score is the aggregate (total) score of the best scores
- Chapters can compete without a full field
- All nine-hole players can pick up after double par
Individual Competition:
- Stroke play in seven age groups
- Trophies awarded for five places in each age group
- In the event of a tie for first place in each group, a sudden death play off will be held starting on a hole determined by The Committee. Ties for other trophy positions will be settled on the card starting with last round, then last 9 holes, last five holes, last three, and last hole. If there is still a tie, a second trophy will be provided.
Parents/Spectators:
- Spectators can not give advice. Therefore, any advice given by a parent/spectator will result in the player being penalized.
- Keep your distance - try and maintain 30 yards from the competitors
- Rules of golf - rules are not advice. If a parent knows a rule, it is acceptable to inform a player of his/her option. In such a case, if the spectator is incorrect, the player is responsible. There is no perfect way to handle this other than to say: Do not give a ruling if you do not know the rules.
- Spotters - spectators are welcome to spot for players. It is very helpful with pace-of-play and completely within the rules of golf.
- Spectator carts are given, per club availability, for those that have medical conditions that prevent them from walking!
Code of Conduct:
General Conduct:
- No profanity/excessive noise
- Do not abuse the golf course
- No throwing or slamming golf clubs or equipment
