Entry fees will only be refunded in the case of a withdrawal being advised before the closing date or after closing date prior to the start of the tournament for medical reasons (a medical certificate must accompany a request for withdrawal on medical grounds). All refunds will incur a $10 processing fee.

 

 In the event of cancellation of any part of the event due to adverse weather, no refunds will be made.

 

Number of Divisions, Courses to be used, Programme and Handicap limits for each Division will be determined after close of entries and determined by the number of entries. The Match Committee will allocate Players to a division based upon their handicap at the time of the draw. In the event of a partner in the Foursomes Event being unable to compete, a replacement on a similar handicap may be substituted. No additional fee is payable, provided an entry fee for that event has been paid by the original player.
