AWAY TOURNAMENT SIGN-UP & CANCELLATION POLICIES

Sign ups will be taken at approximately 7:00 p.m. on meeting night as well as at the regular scheduled home games.

  1. Sign ups will be taken for tournaments one month in advance.
  2. Fivesomes require course approval.
  3. You will not be allowed to sign up if you have any outstanding “no show” fees.
  4. Two day tournament sign ups will be taken any time providing deposit is current with any payment schedule.
  5. CANCELLATIONS MUST BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH INDIVIDUAL COURSE CONTRACTS.  IF LMMGC HAS ALREADY PAID FOR YOUR SPOT, YOU WILL BE ASSESSED A “NO SHOW” FEE.  THE AMOUNT WILL BE WHATEVER LMMGC IS CHARGED BY THE COURSE.  IF YOU ARE FORCED TO CANCEL AT THE LAST MINUTE, YOU CAN SEND A NON MEMBER IN YOUR PLACE.
  6. The ONLY reason a tournament will be cancelled is if the course is CLOSED. Do not assume a tournament is cancelled because it is raining.  Call me or call the course.  If you call the course, be sure to get the name of the person you talk to if they say the tournament is cancelled or the course is closed.
  7. Due to the number of “late” cancellations a monetary penalty will now be charged for cancelling outside of the course contract.  The penalty will be equal to the prize fund for that outing with a $10 minimum and a $15 maximum.  You will also be charged a full green fee if Triple S is charged by the course. Each course cancellation date will be posted on the away signup sheet.  Any cancellations after that date will be subject to the fee.  If you are assessed a fee you will not be eligible to participate in any future away prize funds until the fee is paid.
