CHAPTER GUEST POLICY

The Fort Lauderdale Chapter welcomes guests to participate at events and golf outings. Male guests are invited to play on Sundays with our organized groups. Female guests may play weekdays and Saturdays up to three times before being asked to join our Chapter.

EVENT CANCELLATION POLICY

Many of our larger events require pre-payment. The Fort Lauderdale Chapter may or may not offer a refund depending on the cancellation policy of each individual venue. Generally, refunds for an event fee - which include both golf and refreshments - may be issued in full less a processing fee provided the individual cancels at least 10 days prior to the event.  Payments for golf only events can usually be refunded if cancelled 72 hours prior to the event.  After this time there will be no refunds. Exception: If a replacement signs up and/pays, then a refund can be processed. The Chapter will make every effort to provide full or partial refund when cancellation is due to reasons beyond the control of a chapter member. 

CHAPTER REIMBURSEMENT POLICY

All chapter leaders and volunteers who incur expenses on behalf of the chapter will be reimbursed. For events, the chair will submit a report of revenues and expenses to our Treasurer and attach all receipts. For miscellaneous expenses, volunteers may scan, fax or mail their receipts to our Treasurer for reimbursement.  Print out form HERE
