Weather Guidelines
General Weather Policy Play continues

If the course allows play, the tournament will continue. Bad weather alone is not a reason to stop play.

  • Under Rule 6.8(a)(ii), a player may stop play if they believe there is danger from lightning.
  • If the course or Local Tour Director suspends play, all players must immediately mark their balls and stop playing.
  • Play resumes only when the Local Tour Director announces that it is safe to continue.
Delays, Suspensions & Official Status Course + Director
  • Any delay or cancellation is determined jointly by the golf course staff and the Local Tour Director.
  • If the course becomes unplayable, a tournament may still be declared official if all players in a flight have completed at least nine holes (any combination).
If a Weather-Shortened Event Is Declared Official Scoring rules
  • Results will be based only on the same holes (or like holes) completed by all players in each flight.
  • Ties for prizes are handled as follows:
    • If players remain tied after comparing all eligible hole combinations, points and prizes are split.
    • If there is a tie for first place, the Local Tour Director will decide whether:
      • Players wait until conditions allow an on-course playoff, or
      • Points and prizes are split among tied players.
If a Tournament Is Cancelled Makeup or credit
  • A makeup date will be announced as soon as one is determined.
  • Refunds are not automatically issued.
  • Entry fees will be applied to the makeup date or handled under the standard Withdrawal & No-Show Policy.
  • The refund or credit choice must be communicated to the Local Tour Director by email.
