Chapter Policies

We ask that all members follow the LPGA Amateurs Code of Conduct

LPGA Amateurs Charlotte Events Policy  

Pairings

Once published, pairings are final.  Please do not ask to be re-partnered.   Partner requests made in comments when signing up are taken into consideration, but not guaranteed to be fulfilled.

Guests

Guests may attend two scheduled golf events in a calendar year.   To attend additional events, we ask that the guests become LPGA Amateurs Charlotte members.  (Member/Guest and Invitational are not included in the two event count.)

Refunds for Pre-Paid Events

No refunds will be provided for pre-paid events except for those instances where the Chapter cancels an event.

Late Cancellation / No Shows

Please note cancellation policy effective immediately (April, 2022):  After 2 cancellations with less than 24 hours notice and/or no-shows, you will be asked to pay in advance for your next event.  You will receive an email requesting advance payment.

If you must cancel, please give 24 hours notice and text the Event host listed on the sign-up.

 

Rain Out Policy

If an event is rained out, the golf course’s rain check policy applies. At times, the weather forecast allows the chapter to make advanced plans for total rain outs. In this case, you will be contacted via email regarding cancellation of the event no later than two hours prior to the first tee time and if the event will be rescheduled.

Pace of Play

To maintain an enjoyable pace of play for all, players with handicaps should pick up their ball when they have reached the maximum score for their handicap.  Players without handicaps should pick up at double par.  Very new golfers are encouraged to play a “best ball” format with their playing partner.   [This does not apply to the Chapter Championship or other tournament events which require you to hole out your ball.] Individuals identified as “pace of play monitors” in the pairings are requested to maintain the pace of play for your foursome.
