Schedule:

There will be no registration, scoring area or awards ceremony for the tournament. Players should arrive at their designated tee at least 10 minutes prior to their start time, but not until the group in front of them has cleared the teeing area. Once they are done playing their round, they will be asked to immediately leave the golf course. 

 

Drinking Water: 

Please bring water to stay hydrated. Waters will be available for the players on the first tee only. The starter will wipe down and place multiple water bottles on the starting table for each player to grab prior to their round. This will be the only time water will be supplied to the players.

 

Time of Starting:  Players are responsible for showing up and ready to play on time at 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 times will be posted at jtnc.org. 

 

Range:  The range will be available no more than 30 minutes before the players tee time. Day 1 - Each player will receive 20 minutes to warm up, Day 2 - Each Player will only be allowed 10 minutes to warm up due to the split tee starting times. The range will be monitored. Once your time has passed you will be asked to leave the range. One small bucket only will be available for each player to warm up on the driving range. The golf course will have a list of the players’ names, and will require the player themselves to come grab the bucket.  As an additional option Jack Tone Driving Range is not far from the course if you do not want to risk waiting for a spot to warm up. 

 

Please Note: The practice putting green is available to use before the players tee time. However, only the group who is waiting next to tee off will be allowed on the practice green. Meaning no more than 4 players at a time shall occupy it.
