 QUALIFYING INFORMATION

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

POLICIES, PROCEDURES, & GUIDELINES:

Before participating, participants should review the SCGA’s Policies & Procedures.

 

FORMAT:

• All players will participate in an 18-hole, stroke-play qualifier.
• 84 players (including exempt players) will advance to the 42^nd SCGA Mid-Amateur Championship at Soule Park GC on April 28 - 30, 2025.

• The Committee will make the final number of qualifying spots at each site available on the day of play.
• All ties at the qualifier will be broken using the USGA suggested method of matching scorecards (Committee Procedures: Section 5A (6)).

 

STARTING TIMES & PAIRINGS:

• Starting times and pairings will be emailed to players and posted online at scga.org one week in advance of the qualifier.
• There will not be a player registration process on the morning of the qualifier.
• Lead groups should plan to be at their assigned tee 10 minutes in advance of their starting time. Subsequent groups are encouraged to arrive once the preceding group has teed off. Players arriving late will be penalized under Rule 5.3a of the Rules of Golf. For example, the 9:00 a.m. starting time is defined as 9:00:00, and players arriving after that time are considered late.
