Chapter Cancellation Policy - Apr 17, 2022
Please consider events to be a "go" unless specifically cancelled via email. In the event of rain, registered players will be notified by email the night before and day of. Updates will also be posted on the Chapter's Facebook page. Golf courses hold us to our contract unless the golf course closes and, as you know golf courses in Southern California rarely close due to rain.

We do understand that life sometimes gets in the way of golf.
- If you cancel more than ten (10) days prior to the event, a refund will be provided, minus a handling fee of $5.
- If you cancel ten (10) days or less prior to the event, there will be no refund as by this time, we are contractually committed to the golf course and would have made full payment.
- If you cancel less than 10 days prior to the event and we are able to move someone from the waitlist into your spot, a refund will be provided, minus a handling fee of $5.
Waitlisted players will have priority when filling spots. If there is no waitlist, you may look for a replacement player and if you do find one, they must register and pay via Golf Genius, and be confirmed for the event before any refund will be made to you.

The local championship qualifier, national events, weekend getaways, and other special events may be subject to other refund policies, and will be specified within the event notification.

In the COVID-19 era - Jun 2, 2020

Before Our Events . . .

Participation in LPGA Amateurs Chapter events is strictly voluntary and is a personal decision. Members are encouraged to review and follow national, state and local recommendations.

If after registration, you do not feel well or suspect that you may have been exposed to COVID-19, out of an abundance of caution and in consideration of your fellow members, please stay home.

As long as any golf course is under city/county emergency orders related to COVID-19, we will waive associated fees and issue refunds for those who must cancel due to changing health and safety concerns. In these cases, we kindly ask our members to give as much notice as possible, and to allow sufficient and reasonable processing time for refunds. Please contact Deb Olson for any cancellations after registration.
