PAIRING PROCEDURES

Pairings for first and second rounds of the first two (2) tournaments will be done randomly.  Rounds 3 & 4 are paired by score.

All remaining tournament’s first and second round pairings are grouped based on the OFFICIAL MONEY LIST.  The actual groupings are established by computer.  These will be available after 5:00pm on Tuesday. Third and fourth round pairings are by score.  These will be available approximately one hour after completion of play.

No requests will be taken for tee times. Players are asked to please respect this procedure.

PRO-AMS

   The NGA Hooters Tour’s policy regarding pro-am participation is as follows:  Players for the Pro Ams will be chosen from the money list two weeks prior to the event (leading money winner on down).

A player list will be posted the Thursday prior to the Pro-Am to inform players who are playing. Players will be allowed to miss four (4) Pro Ams and you must notify the Tour Director by the Friday prior to the tournament week.  NO EXCEPTIONS!

   Failure to attend the pairings party is a finable offense.  The first offense will be a $50 fine and removal from the pro-am.  Any offense thereafter will result in disqualification from that week’s golf tournament. All professionals are expected to comply with the dress code of the NGA Hooters Tour for the pairings party and the pro-ams.  Also, members are expected to treat their amateur partners in a professional and hospitable manner.  Unless otherwise notified, ONLY those players participating in the pro-am are invited to the pairings and cookout parties.

   Those professionals not participating in the pro-am must comply with the facility’s guidelines and maintenance schedule upon Wednesday practice rounds.  Some tournaments will have a double shotgun pro-am and will occupy the course for the entire day. Members only will be paid $60 for the Pro-Am, unless a Pro Purse has been set up, in which all or a portion of the $60 will be allocated. 

PRO-AM FIVE HOUR RULE 

In order to keep the Pro-Am’s manageable for the Food and Beverage Staffs and to allow the maintenance staff proper time to prepare the golf course for tournament play, the NGA Hooters Tour will place a time limitation on Pro-Am’s similar to those imposed by other major tours.

   A horn will sound to begin play once the teams have reached their designated holes, five (5) hours from that time another horn will sound. If a team was the first to play from a tee (example: #3A), that team may finish the hole they are on. If a team was the second to play from a tee (example: #3B), they will finish the hole they are on and then play the next hole. A team will be given a par for any hole that is not completed.

Time elapsed during a weather delay does not count against the 5 hour limit.

*** (Exception: The 5 hour rule may be waived at certain contracted events)

EIGHTY – SIX (86) RULE

Any player posting a score of 86 or higher in the first round of competition will be withdrawn from that event without refund.

  Every NGA Hooters Tour member will be chosen once during the season to help with a clinic. It is the responsibility of every player to attend the clinic for which they are chosen to participate. Players failing to attend are subject to discipline by the Tour Director and will be chosen for 2 future clinics.

*Appeals prior to formation of 2006 Player Board will be decided by Tour Staff and two members of previous years’ Player Board.

MEDIA COMMENTS: PUBLIC ATTACKS

A favorable public reputation of the NGA Hooters Tour, its affiliated tournaments and co-sponsored events is a valuable asset and creates tangible and intangible benefits for the NGA Hooters Tour and all Tour members.  Therefore, it is an obligation of the membership to refrain from comments that attack or disparage the NGA Hooters Tour, tournament sponsors, tournament venues, volunteers or fellow competitors.  Legitimate disagreements with the aforementioned must be handled with Tour officials privately.  Any such public attack will be viewed as conduct unbecoming a professional, which is a finable offense.

            • 
The 2006 Board will consist of three (3) player representatives selected by the players and four (4) player representatives selected by the Tournament Committee.  The voting for this year’s player board will take place in Flowery Branch, GA.
