2001 Player Handbook

Reduction of Rounds

The goal of the NGA Tour is to complete four-round, 72-hole events. The tournament committee and players will make their best effort to complete each round and tournament as scheduled. After exhausting all feasible options, the tournament committee may suspend or cancel a round (Rule 33-2d) in the event unplayable conditions occur. Play will resume when conditions improve, even if the round cannot be completed that day. a.) Daylight permitting, play may resume the following day, to include completion of the next scheduled round. b.) When daylight does not permit, the suspended round may be completed the next day. Thus, one round might be completed over a two-day period, depending on how many players had played from the starting tee(s).
When play must be suspended during the fourth round, that round will be canceled if more than half the starting field cannot complete the round. If more than half the starting field has completed the round, play should be temporarily suspended and completed when conditions permit.
A minimum of 36 holes must be completed for an event to be considered official. If less than 36 holes are completed, 100% of the entry fees will be returned to the participants.
Based on course availability and distance to the next tournament site, the tournament may be concluded on Monday if more than half the field has completed their round on Sunday.
Daily Low Round Bonus
There will be a bonus of $150 given to the NGA Tour player with the low score of the day for every completed tournament round (pro-ams not included). Money will be split between all ties. These checks will be written from the Peachtree City office and mailed to your home address. The Tour reserves the right to evaluate and modify the requirements by making appropriate changes.
