UGA WINTERCHAMPS
Seniors that wish to play may sign up for either this event or the standard UGA Winterchamps to be held March 16-17. If seniors wish to play in the standard UGA Winterchamps, they will not be able to do so online and will need to call the office. If the Men's Division in the standard UGA Winterchamps is not full by February 1, 2024, registration will open to those that wish to play in both. However, players should note that Senior PPR points are only available at the Senior Winterchamps.
WHAT IS MODIFIED STABLEFORD?
Stableford is a form of play in golf where your score on a hole equates to points with the goal being to have the most points. In modified Stableford the point values for a birdie, par, bogey, etc. are just changed to a different value. The values are as follows:
- Double Bogey or worse - 0 points
- Bogey - 1 point
- Par - 2 points
- Birdie - 4 points
- Eagle - 6 points
- Double Eagle - 8 points
REFUNDS AND WITHDRAWALS
If a player withdraws prior to the registration deadline the player will receive a refund minus a $20 cancellation fee. After the deadline, the player will receive a 50% refund. Beginning the day before the event, no refunds will be issued if a player withdraws or no shows (For Example, if an event begins on Monday, any withdrawal starting on Sunday will result in no refund). A business day starts at 12:01 am of that day, and the deadline will be at 4:00pm on the deadline date. In team competitions, if a player needs a substitute for his original partner after the field has closed; he must arrange to get the substitute. Any substitute must meet all eligibility requirements of the specified competition. The UGA must be notified of any substitutions prior to the start of the tournament.
