Starting Times: Players teeing off hole #10 will be shuttled. Players must meet at the shuttle, located near the putting green at least 20 minutes before their tee time. There will be a sign directing players where to wait. It is the players’ responsibility to be at the tee on time and ready to play. We will be shuttling to tee 10, but are not responsible for players who arrive late to the shuttling area.
Range: Del Monte does not have a driving range, no practice balls will be provided in this event. The closest range is located at Monterey Pines GC, the range will be open at 7:00 a.m. and close at dark both days, please note there are limited hitting bays at Monterey Pines. Other ranges in the area include Bayonet/Blackhorse GC, Laguna Seca GC, and Poppy Hills GC. I recommend the Bayonet/ Blackhorse range; it is a big practice facility and easy to get to on the way into town.
Time of Starting: Players are responsible for showing up and ready to play on time to their correct tee. The player will be penalized for arriving after their time and disqualified for showing up after 4 minutes 59 seconds after their starting time. The official starting time will be posted at jtnc.org.
