Notice about scoring:  When you keep a fellow competitor’s score, you are his marker, and are responsible for entering his correct scores. Whenever a situation arises where there is any question as to the correct score for a given hole, the correct score must be decided upon as soon as possible, preferably before teeing off on the next hole, but, at the very least, before turning in a completed and signed scorecard, in order that the Tournament Committee may determine the correct score before closing the tournament. Thanks for your co-operation.                                     

NOTE ABOUT SCORING  –  PLEASE KEEP TRACK OF YOUR HOLE SCORES AND CHECK THEM BEFORE SIGNING AND TURNING IN YOUR SCORECARD.   YOU ARE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENTERING THE CORRECT GROSS SCORES FOR EVERY HOLE.  IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE TO CHECK THE ADDITION FOR THE 9 & 18 HOLE TOTALS, GROSS & NET, BUT IT WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED IF YOU WOULD ADD, ENTER, AND CHECK THE 9 & 18 HOLE TOTALS, GROSS & NET, BEFORE TURNING IN YOUR SCORECARD.

IF YOU KEEP YOUR HOLE SCORES IN THE “MARKER SCORE” LINE AT THE TOP OF THE SCORECARD THAT YOU ARE SCORING FOR YOUR FELLOW COMPETITOR, THEN YOU CAN COMPARE THEM WITH YOUR OFFICIAL SCORECARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CORRECT  BEFORE YOU TURN IT IN.

Tournament Committee Policies and Formats 2012

                                        SIGN-UP AND CANCELLATION POLICY

       When a member signs up for a tournament he is responsible for obtaining his tee time either at Muni on the Paisano Bulletin Board in the back corner of the Pro Shop, in the Paisano showcase in the Breeze Way, or on our Web Site (www.los-paisanos.com). At ”Home” tournaments, The Committee will collect entry fees and you will pay your green fees in the Pro Shop. On the road The Committee will collect all moneys and pay the Course with one Check. We do not accept credit cards but welcome personal checks. If a member cancels or does not show up for his tee time, he may be charged his entry fee and also green fees when applicable. (Home Tournaments-$12, “Away Tournaments”-GREEN FEES AND ENTRY FEE) A Member can cancel from a tournament up to the Friday before a home tournament and not be subject to the entry fee charge. However a member IS responsible for his green/entry fees at away tournaments as soon as he signs up (if the Club gets stuck for your green fees due to contract obligations you will be expected to pay prior to the next Tourney). Please try to sign up early, especially for “Away Tourneys” where they expect a head count at least a week in advance or as per contract.

      Please check in 30 minutes prior to your tee time, especially if you are in the last few groups. This enables the Committee Members time to warm-up. In the spirit of sportsmanship or lack thereof you may be assessed a $5 penalty.

 

TOURNAMENT PAYMENT POLICY

        We will be paying out all money collected for tournament minus $2 for club and skin money collected. We try to pay at least 1/3 the field. Your $20 is broken down like this; $12 for winners pot, $3 for Net.Skins, $3 for Gross Skins $2 for Club Expenses (includes hole-in-one fund, trophies, etc.).

       Money won (except Skins, which is paid in cash) is generally available at the Muni Pro Shop a week after the Tournament, minus 10%. Example: Winner gets $40. That 40 goes to Individual and Team Points which you can follow on Our Web Site under Standings. $36 goes in your account at the Pro Shop. Upon purchase of anything in The Shop you receive a 10% discount and maintain your Amateur Status in accordance with U.S.G.A. So on your $40 you actually get $39.40. The Club gets all the rest for the above noted expenses.
