Weather Policy

 

PLAYER SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY, you the player are empowered to deem conditions unsafe to play anytime you see lightning or feel danger. 

 

Severe weather-related conditions may delay or suspend play. If the course doesn’t have a warning signal our staff will do our best to text you and or notify your group of potential poor playing conditions that may require a shelter and place temporarily or asked to return to the clubhouse. This is the players responsibility to be aware of the courses warning systems and can not hold the NAGT, tournament director, or anyone other than themselves responsible for injury and or death for any cause. 

 

If it is raining and you are not asked to suspend play, keep going and play through. 

 

Such conditions are as follows:

 

• The safety of the player due to the danger from lighting
• The course being deemed unplayable typically by heavy rain and puddling (as determined by the host course head pro)

 

If such inclement weather looks certain the day before the event the tournament director will do their best to cancel the event so that players avoid unnecessary travel times.

 

If such inclement weather results during play, every effort will be made by the tournament committee to get in the full number of prescribed holes within reason. If play looks like it can resume within a few hours than all players should remain on property at the host facility and await official announcements from the tournament committee. 

 

If the delay looks like it will run past a few hours, the course becomes unplayable, and/or lighting is consistent the event will result in one of the following:

 

1. We will award flight champions and shorten the event based on the last hole played within your flight if the same 9 holes have been completed by your flight. No refunds or rain checks will be given once the tournament has been scored officially. 

 

2. If we cannot get at least 9 holes in we will reschedule the event for a future date and roll your entry fee into the makeup date.  

 

3. If we cannot fit a make-up date into the schedule a full refund or course rain check will be given back to the player.
