Chapter Policies:
DEFINITIONS:

Weekly Play or League: A series of scheduled tee times, usually during the week after work, in which members sign up and pay in advance to play.
Educational Opportunities: Golf education or personal development sessions are randomly throughout the golf season and are especially designed to meet the needs of the Chapter members. Arrangements and/or discounts may be made with local instructors to provide lessons or other educational opportunities to members on an individual basis.
Non-Golf Events: Any gathering of LPGA Amateurs members that does not include golf. Examples of these events include beginning and end of season celebrations, business and other networking functions, social functions and activities to learn more about LPGA Amateurs. (i.e., Member Orientation).
REGISTRATION:
Participation in an LPGA Amateurs event, league, educational series, or social function requires pre-registration using the appropriate form and payment process. This information must be received by the posted deadline. Registration procedures are typically e-mailed to members and/or posted on the lpgaamateursnoco.com website.
REFUNDS:
Golf Events, Educational Series, Non-Golf Events: Registrant must contact the coordinator no later than 7 (seven) days in advance of the function date to determine if a refund is possible. Refunds are not available if the Chapter has made payment to the facility. Some fees may be transferable to other events. Refunds will always be net of any administrative costs.
Weekly Play or League: No refunds will be given for Weekly or League Play. If the golfer cannot play, it will be the responsibility of the golfer to find a substitute and collect the green fees from them if they want reimbursement.

Refund Policy Amendment - May 3, 2021
Until further notice, the refund policy will be amended to include:
- If a course prohibits the use of riding carts during an LPGA Amateurs NoCo event (for any reason) and this information was not available at the time of registration, refunds will be offered to participants who do not want to walk.
- Please note that this does not include cart path only restrictions, in which riding carts are allowed but must stay on the cart paths. While participants have the option not to play with cart path only restrictions, refunds will not be given.
- The general practice will be to issue refunds after the last event of each month, regardless of when the event(s) was scheduled. When possible, the credit card used for registration will be issued a refund.
