Eligibility

        Entries will be limited to male amateur golfers who enjoy membership privileges at Clubs belonging to the New York State Golf Association, or are NYSGA Associate Members residing in New York State. Please see www.nysga.org/eligibility.html for the full eligibility requirements.

       USGA Rules prevail, except when otherwise modified by the Executive Committee. All entries are subject to the approval of the Executive Committee, which reserves the right to disqualify or default any player at any stage of the Championship for any reason deemed sufficient by it. It reserves the right to amend this program at any stage of the Championship.

       If the Host Club (or Qualifying Site) prohibits the use of metal or ceramic spikes, a contestant who wears these spikes will be disqualified.

Qualifying Play

            Qualifying Rounds will be under the direct authority of the designated Qualifying Chairperson. The Qualifying Chairperson will arrange the rules and procedures and so notify each contestant. Should an exempt player choose to qualify and return a score insufficient to qualify, he shall lose his exemption. If the number of entries received in any sectional qualifier is less than the number required to allocate a position in the tournament proper, then that qualifier may be canceled by the Committee. In such a case, the contestants affected shall be entitled to a refund of their entry fee, or, if feasible, offered the opportunity to qualify in another Section.

Automotive Transportation

Included in the entry fee is a cart fee for the sectional qualifying round, however the player may choose to walk if they so desire.

The NYSGA does not approve the use of Automotive Transportation in the Championship proper.

Refund Policy

        Entry fee, less a $10.00 service charge, will be refunded regardless of reason if the NYSGA is notified by phone (888) NYSGA-23 prior to the close of entries.
