Pairings: 

To ensure the integrity of the event, and to promote the social aspect, (meeting your new best friends for life), the Pro Shop will draw playing partners each day.

We understand that many players are carpooling so please email Steven (smacpherson@storeycreek.ca) with your tee time requests.

 

We will make the best effort to keep similar playing handicaps together. Monday's draw will be based on Round 1 and 2 Gross score with leaders teeing off later in the day.

Refund:

In organising the three major tournaments we stage at Storey Creek each year, the Mixed, the Crystal, the Generations Cup and the Labour Day, each event suffers from a large percentage of withdrawals over the final few days. This can throw the finalised draw into disarray. Food costs, Green fees costs and Admin costs also occur. This year we have a late cancellation program in place. Please be advised.

 

95% Refund if Team cancels 30 days or more before event start date.

75% Refund if Team cancels 7 days to 29 days before event start date.

50% Refund if Team cancels less than 7 days before event start date.

 

Warm Up Basket:

All players receive a complimentary warm up basket before play begins.
