Simply put, if the course allows us on the course, we play.  Bad weather, in and of itself, is not a good reason for discontinuing play.  In addition, if either the course or the Local Tour Director suspends play due to weather, all players must immediately mark their balls and cease playing until the Local Tour Director announces play may resume.  

Any delays or cancellation of a tournament will be determined by the golf course and their staff in conjunction with the Tour Director.  If a course becomes unplayable during a tournament, the tournament may still be declared official if all players in a flight have played at least nine holes no matter the combination.   

If a weather shortened tournament is declared official:

• tournament results will be based solely upon the same holes (or like holes) all players finish in each flight 

• ties for prizes will be determined in the following manner:

  •  if players have the same score after reviewing each viable hole combination, the players will split both points and the prizes associated with the tied positions  

  • in the event of a tie for first-place, the Local Tour Director will speak to all affected players and appropriate course personnel to determine if tied players will wait until the course becomes playable to complete an on-the-course playoff or if the players will split the points/prizes If a tournament is cancelled due to weather:

  • a makeup date will be announced as soon as one is determined 

  • refunds will not be automatically issued, but rather will be applied to the scheduled makeup date or fall under the Tournament Withdrawals and No Show policies within this manual 

  • the refund choice will be up to the player; however, it must be communicated by email to the Local Tour Director
