Registration Instructions

 

1) Register before February 28 to guarantee your choice of shirt size and style will be available by May 31st!  Later registrations will still receive the player gift, however the preferred shirt style may not be available or the shirt may not be available until after the event.

 

2) Verify information for each team member before registering.

  • Obtain the shirt size and style desired for each team member.  Shirts will NOT be able to be returned or exchanged.  
    • Sizes:  XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL.  These shirts tend to run a little small, so check the sizing chart on the Shirt Info page.  
    • Style: a) short-sleeved, or b) sleeveless
  • Obtain any dietary restrictions. 

 

3) Register as a Team

  • The Team Captain will register their team, including listing all four team players.  There is no individual registration.
  • The team may be composed of any combination of Members and Guests (Non-Members).  Please note that US-based members must register using the Non-Member option, as our Golf Genius system only recognizes Canadian memberships.  Please add your LPGA Amateurs membership number and chapter so we know you are a member!
  • The team will be waitlisted until payment information is provided for all players, at that point the individual registration payments will be processed and the team will be moved from waitlisted to confirmed status. A team will not be considered registered until ALL players have paid their registration fees.

 

4) Include the Add-On fee for the number of players attending the Dinner Reception

  • Select the number of players (0 - 4) who will be attending the reception.
  • The total fee for the reception will be split equally across all team members if split payment option is chosen.  This means all players will get charged a portion, even if not all 4 are attending!  If this is problematic, a manual payment for the dinner reception can be requested by emailing president@lpgaamateurscanada.ca

 

 

5) Split Payment to Each Team Member

  • The Team Captain registering the team will only need to pay for themselves, as they will have the option (click the split payment box to choose it!) to have the system send an email notification to each teammate to pay their own registration fees.
  • The team will be waitlisted until payment information is provided for all players, at that point the individual registration payments will be processed and the team will be moved from waitlisted to confirmed status. A team will not be considered registered until ALL players have paid their registration fees.

 

6) Cancellation & Substitutions

  • If a team withdraws from the competition prior to April 18, a 50% refund will be available; a full refund will only be available if the team's slot can be filled by another team. After April 18, there will be no refund. All refunds will be subject to an administration fee to cover any applicable fixed expenses.
  • Player substitutions on teams will be permitted until May 16.  Substitutions must be communicated to the Events Committee immediately.  If a player needs to withdraw after May 16 because of an emergency (eg. medical emergency or a death in the family), that player may, with the approval of the Events Committee, be replaced by a player whose handicap is within 8 strokes of the withdrawing player.
