POLICIES, PROCEDURES, & GUIDELINES:

 

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 October 3 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 1st through 5th place. All ties will be broken using the USGA suggested method of matching scorecards (Committee Procedures: Section 5A (6)).

 

REGISTRATION:

There will be no official registration, players need to be to their starting hole 10 min. prior to their starting time.

 

PRACTICE ROUNDS:

  • Players may plan for practice rounds at their own expense. To book a practice round, call the La Purisima Golf Shop at (805) 735-8395. Standard rates apply.
  • 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.

 

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 8 a.m. – 10 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.

 

TEES & YARDAGE:   

  • Men will play from the blue yardages and tee markers (white yardages to be used on Holes 2, 6, 7, 9, & 18).
  • Women will play from the red yardages and tee markers.
  • Hole-by-hole yardages can be found HERE.
