REGISTRATION:

All teams must register at the SCGA table near the golf shop. Registration will begin at 6 a.m.

 

PRACTICE ROUNDS:

  • Players may make arrangements for practice rounds at their own expense. To book a practice round, call the Soule Park golf shop at (805) 646-5633. Practice rounds may be booked at any time on a space available basis. Standard rates apply.
  • Practice rounds are a privilege, not a right. The SCGA works with a variety of facilities throughout the course of the year, all of which have unique policies and procedures when it comes to practice rounds. These opportunities will be provided at the sole discretion of the host facility.
  • We are guests and must follow all facility policies and guidelines when on property. Behavior during practice rounds will be subject to the SCGA Code of Conduct.

 

STARTING TIMES AND PAIRINGS: 

  • Starting times and pairings will be e-mailed to players and posted online at scga.org one week in advance of the championship.
  • Starting times will range from 7:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. each day off Holes #1 & 10.
  • 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.
