Times will be EMAILED at minimum 36 hours prior to the first tee time. The tournament director reserves the right to adjust tee times and check-in information at any time. Be sure to check the website the morning of for any potential changes.
All players must check in at least 30 minutes prior to their tee time. Late checks-ins severely inconvenience the tournament director. A $5 late fee applies.
Results will be posted at minimum 48 hours after close of event.
Members have 5 days to report any scoring discrepancies to the tournament director. After 5 days, results become official and cannot be changed for any reason.
Prizes are based on participation and are adjusted by the tournament director who shall make every reasonable effort to ensure use of all possible funds for the event are paid out in an equitable manner. All prizes are paid out in Scrip unless otherwise noted in the event description. Events must have at least 16 players (individual) or 16 teams (team events) to qualify for a Low Gross payout. There may be other very rare occurrences (unique event formats) where no Low Gross pot is available.
Players are responsible for their own scorecards. Only official event cards (when provided) will be accepted for official scoring. All scorecards must be signed by two players within the group, preferably by one player from each cart. If it is a team event, one signature from each team is required.
If you hand off an official scorecard to another player (not the tournament organizer), we recommend you take a photo of the completed signed scorecard. If a score card is lost or damaged, a photo of a completed, signed official scorecard will be considered in lieu of the original.
Players are responsible for correctly recording their gross score for each hole. You are not responsible for adding up your scores. However, if you add them up, it does help the tournament organizer in identifying any potential typos when entering your scores on the event computer.
USGA rules apply to entering scores: If you submit a signed scorecord and record a gross score for a hole that is higher than you actually scored, the higher score is entered. If you submit a signed scorecard and record a gross score for a hole that is lower than you actually scored, you will be disqualified.
Scores must be legible. If the tournament organizer is uncertain on a hole score, he will check with at least two other members to come up with a consensus on what the score is. That decision is final. So if you have a messy scorecard, and three people interpret your scratches incorrectly, too bad. Stash an eraser in your bag so this doesn't become an issue. Make sure you choose a player within your group that writes clearly to be the one to keep the official scorecard.
You are encouraged to take a photo of your complete, signed, official scorecard before handing it off to someone else to turn it in for you. The Men's Club and tournament director are NOT responsible for lost score cards.
MMMC will post both sanctioned and non-sanctioned event scores following Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) protocols. It is highly encouraged that everyone download the GHIN app to their smartphones so you can post your score before you get too deep into the post round beverage scene. It is the responsibility of the Handicap Chairman to verify that these scores are posted by all players to maintain Club eligibility with the SCGA.
A player can withdraw from an event with no penalty by providing at least 24 hours notice to the tournament director. If a player withdraws with less than 24 hours notice, the player will be charged the tournament entry fee. If the host golf course requires payment of greens fees, the player will be responsible for the greens fees as well. Withdrawal due to an emergency will be addressed on a case by case basis.
Each year the club will host a Club Championship. A member must have played in at least 3 sanctioned events prior to the club championship to be eligible to participate. The club champion and club net champion will have the option to participate in the SCGA Tournament of Club Champions and SCGA Tournament of Club Net Champions.
A hole in one fund is established at the beginning of each year and is seeded with $1 per player taken from each member’s dues. At each event, $1 from each paid event fee (not including the Desert or Winter Classic or Member/Guest events) is added to the hole in one fund (guests for any event do not add to the fund). The hole in one fund balance is noted on the scrip log. Guests are NOT eligible to win the hole in one prize.
At each official event the hole in one fund is active and may be won by a club member scoring a hole in one so long as the shot is witnessed and verified by no less than 2 other active club members. The hole in one fund prize will be paid out by the club Treasurer.
All tournament prizes are paid out in Scrip unless otherwise noted in the event description. Scrip is a record of that player’s winnings and acts as a credit for the player for future events or other club products (such as team play shirts). Scrip may be used at any sanctioned club event unless otherwise noted. All events posted on the club site are sanctioned unless otherwise noted in the event title and/or description.
Members may, at any time, request to “cash out.” If done so, the Club will send an American Golf gift card in the amount equal to the member’s scrip balance. The gift card is usable at any American Golf managed golf course. Please see American Golf’s website for any further terms and conditions regarding American Golf gift cards.
No scrip will be held in escrow in excess of $500. If a member earns in excess of $500, the Men’s Club will issue an American Golf gift card in an amount so as to allow a balance remaining of no more than $250 in scrip.
The scrip log will be updated after each event and posted on the club website at least twice per month. Most likely immediately following each event.
