WeekendTournament Entry Procedures




The deadline for signing up is 7:00 pm the Tuesday before. (Any player wishing to sign up for a
tournament after the deadline must contact the weekend tournament chairman, Eric Hermanson.
The Pro-shop CANNOT enter you into a tournament after the deadline.)
You must pay your green fees at sign up for the weekend tournaments.
You may call the Pro Shop (303-739-6854) to sign up if you want to charge your green fees on your Aurora
Premier Golf Card. Credit card payments will no longer be accepted over the phone because of security
issues. Again, the deadline is the Tuesday before the tournament.
You must call to cancel your tee time 24 hours prior to the day of play. Paid green fees will not be
refunded if you fail to do so.
No-Shows
1
No-shows cause us trouble. If you cannot play a tournament that you have signed up for, you must call the Pro Shop so
the pairings can be adjusted. Please show consideration for your fellow partners (especially in team events). No green
fee refunds will be given for no-shows (without timely cancellation).
Tuesday Night Tournaments
The dates are every Tuesday night from April 4th through September 26, 2016 (see Tuesday night schedule). Tee times
begin at 3:30pm. Green fees plus a $5.00 entry fee is required. Entry fee must be paid or member cannot play.
Upon completion of your round, please complete the following on the score card:
 First and last names of all players in your group
 Dated, signed and attested

Write gross scores only on score card. Adjustments to scores because of tournament format will be
made by the Tuesday Night Chairman.
 Drop completed score cards into the mailbox in front of the Pro Shop
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in disqualification of prize money.
Tournament Rules
All USGA/CGA rules are in effect at all times. Members are expected to know the rules and abide by them.
Rule books are available in the Pro Shop. If a rules infraction occurs, diplomatically consult the members of
your group or the Rules of Golf booklet to arrive at a proper conclusion. If this cannot be achieved, play a
provisional ball, and Do Not have the Score Card signed, until a ruling can be made. See a golf professional
in the pro shop.
Handicaps
All members must have an official handicap to play in the first weekend tournament. New members need (10),
18 hole scores, which do not have to be Springhill scores (any course) to establish a C.G.A. handicap. The ten
scores can be entered on the membership application or you can accumulate all ten score cards and turn them
into Eric Hermanson or Dick Dierker who will establish your C.G.A. handicap for you. Do not place them in
the mailbox. The Tournament Handicap Review Committee will be Johnathon Z and Steve Talbott. They will
review handicaps and adjust as deemed necessary. Please call the president or tournament chairman with
questions.
Pace of Play
Please be prepared to play “ready golf” to the green. Whoever is ready, hits first; regardless of whom is
away. Once on the green you can use normal golf etiquette. Pace of play must be a high priority for all of us.
Penalties may be applied for SLOW PLAY.
KEEP PACE WITH THE GROUP IN FRONT OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
