FORMAT

Two 9-hole stipulated rounds (18 holes) of stroke play. If both 9-hole rounds can’t be completed due to weather/darkness and everyone completes at least the first 9-holes, the second 9-hole round will be cancelled, and the cut will be made based on the scores from the first 9-hole round.

 

REFUND POLICY

GOLF CARTS & ONE-SEAT POLICY

The use of a golf cart is included in the entry fee for qualifiers - except for the Long Island Qualifier at Baiting Hollow. The use of a golf cart is also permitted during Championship rounds. A player is not required to take a golf cart.

 

The NYSGA One-Seat Cart Policy is in effect. If two players (or their caddie) are riding, they must take one cart. Either the player or his caddie can ride, never both at the same time regardless if a seat is 'open'. Failure to follow this policy is a breach of the NYSGA's Code of Conduct.

 

PUSH CARTS
The use of push carts, whether motorized or manual, is allowed.

 

CADDIES

The use of a caddie is allowed (not required). Caddies must dress in golf attire and should not wear golf shoes with spikes.

 

WITHDRAWALS

If a player needs to withdraw, please notify the NYSGA by emailing champs@nysga.org. Failure to properly withdraw (no show) may result in suspension from future NYSGA competitions.
