REGISTRATION:

• There will not be a formal check-in for this championship. Players must check-in at the Golf Shop if they wish to rent a cart (see section on Automotive Transportation below).

 

STARTING TIMES AND PAIRINGS: 

• Starting times and pairings will be e-mailed to players and posted online at scga.org one week in advance of the championship.
• Starting times will range from 7 a.m. – 11:20 a.m. on both courses for each day.
• Players are encouraged to arrive at their assigned tee well in advance of their starting time, as the SCGA starter will have information to discuss and distribute to each player in the group. Furthermore, players arriving late will be penalized under Rule 5.3a of the Rules of Golf. For example, the 9:00 a.m. starting time is defined as 9:00:00, and players arriving after that time are considered late. Lead groups should plan to be at their assigned tee 10 minutes in advance of their starting time. Subsequent groups are encouraged to arrive in time to watch the group in front of them tee off.
• Round 2 pairings and times will be based off of Round 1 results
