REGISTRATION:

Players must check-in at the SCGA tent near the golf shop to obtain their scorecard and notice to players. Registration will begin by 8:30 a.m.

 

STARTING TIMES & PAIRINGS: 

• Starting times and pairings will be e-mailed to players and posted on scga.org one week in advance of the tournament.
• Starting time is a 10:30 a.m. shotgun.
• Lead groups should plan to be at their assigned tee 10 minutes in advance of their starting time. Subsequent groups are encouraged to arrive once the preceding group has teed off. Players arriving late will be penalized under Rule 5.3a of the Rules of Golf. For example, the 9:00 a.m. starting time is defined as 9:00:00, and players arriving after that time are considered late.
