Tournament Rules
- Members shall sign up for and prepay green fees no later than the Monday
prior to a scheduled tournament or play date. Upon signing up for a
tournament, the accepted methods of payment are Check, Premier Card or Cash.
Acceptable ways to sign up and prepay are as follows:
- Sign up and include a check payable to the specific golf course and insert
check in the WWGL envelopes located in the black box in the golf shop at any
tournament.
- Sign up and use a Premier Card (PC), issued by the Aurora Golf Division at
any course. Members using a Premier Card must email or send the card number
to the Tee Time Chairperson before using the card. Anyone not emailing their
card number to the Tee Time Chairperson will not receive a tee time. On the
day of play, you must present the PC to the golf shop personnel to swipe in
their computer. At the beginning of every season, or when you join the club
or when a new card is issued, members must give their PC number to the Tee
Time Chairperson.
- When signing up and paying with cash please include your name on the cash
and indicate on the tournament envelope that you are paying with cash.
- Signing up by mail or email to the Tee Time Chairperson. If using a PC
number, an email request is accepted as long as the Tee Time Chairperson has
your PC number on file and email is received by the Monday prior to the
tournament date. If mailing a check payable to the course, it must be
received by the Tee Time Chairperson on Monday prior to the tournament date.
Tee times will not be assigned to members requesting tee times after the
Monday prior to the tournament date.
Unused checks will be in the WWGL box during the season for you to re-use at
another tournament at the same course, or for you to pick up. All checks left in
the box at the end of the season will be discarded / shredded.
- The Tee Time Chairperson will assign tee times to those members who have
prepaid green fees in accordance with the rules noted above. Consideration
will be given to tee times requested on tournament sign up sheets.
- Cancellation of Tee Time
The Club Rules are as follows: Cancellation of prepaid tee times is required
24 hours before the first tee time. Less than 24-hour notice
may result in forfeiture of green fees, which will be at the discretion of the
golf course. A telephone call to the golf course will not be considered formal
notice of cancellation. If you need to cancel the day of play, call the Tee Time
Chairperson, leaving a message if not there, and call the golf course to let
them know you won’t be playing. YOU NEED TO DO BOTH. THIS IS ONLY ON THE DAY
OF PLAY!! If canceling before the day of play, call or send an email to the Tee
Time Chairperson stating you are unable to play, not the golf course.
- To compete for prize money, you must hole-out regardless of your handicap.
If you decide to ‘pick-up’ rather than finish out the hole for any reason,
you must note that on your card and disqualify yourself from the tournament.
Note: when posting your score into the GHIN system you must use the maximum
number of strokes for your handicap, for the course you are playing, on any
uncompleted hole.
- All tournament scorecards shall be placed in the WWGL box at the golf shop
at the end of the round.
- All scorecards may only have two players’ names on each card, one on the
top half of the card and one on the bottom half of the card.
- The scorecards must contain the full name of the players; the gross scores
and/or special scores, according to the instructions for the tournament;
signatures for the scorer and attesting member; and date.
- Scorecards that are illegible or lack proper signatures will be
disqualified from the tournament results and will not be eligible for
prizes.
- Members keeping their own score on the tournament scorecard shall be
automatically disqualified.
- Club Championship
Members will be assigned tee times by flights and go out by flights
A-B-C-D- on day one and D-C-B-A on day two.
Board Members
When a Board position opens, a request for volunteers will be made in August.
Prize Money
As you win prize money it is added to the Aurora Golf Courses’ computer
system. After the tournament has been posted to the website, a check is mailed
or taken to the course with a distribution list. Once the Pro Shop posts the
winnings to their computer, you can spend your winnings for any Pro Shop item(s)
(excluding green fees, cart or range balls) at any Aurora City golf course. You
may also save your winnings to purchase a large item, i.e. bag, cart, sky
caddie, or have them special order something. Prize money never expires so you
can save it for as long as you want to make a large purchase. If you play in
more than one league, all your winnings are included in the total. The Pro Shop
cannot determine which league the winnings come from or which tournament. They
only have the total amount.
