Optional Side
Game Rules
(Effective
January 1, 2025)
Optional Closest-to-Pin (CTP) and Hole-in-One (HIO) contests are available
at all PSMGA tournaments. These rules were reviewed and approved by
the Executive Board on October 1, 2024, but may be amended as necessary as
conditions warrant.
All participants must be a PSMGA member
with current year dues paid.
CTP on 4 unmodified Par 3's (ball must remain on the green)
All funds collected will make up the CTP payout and will be
distributed at the end of the round.
1. ENTRY FEE:
$4.00, $1.00 for each Par 3. Sign up in the Pecan Hollow Grille.
2. WINNERS: Payouts
will
be in cash after the tournament. Winnings not picked up after two weeks will
be deposited into members' accounts.
3. TWO FLIGHTS: FLIGHT #1: 15.9
Handicap Index or less and all Callaway. FLIGHT
#2: 16.0
Handicap index or more.
4. CANCELLATION: If a tournament, once started, is
cancelled at any time due to inclement weather, etc., there will be no CTP
payouts.
5. REFUNDS: CTP entry fees will be refunded for 30 minutes only,
immediately after the tournament is cancelled. Members who do not remain to
pick up refunds, will be transferred onto the CTP entry list for the next
scheduled tournament and no further refunds will be made.
NOTICE: Members
are responsible for entering the correct flight. Failure to do so will
result in non-payment. Entering the member’s name on the wrong proximity
marker will nullify the member from that hole. The playing partners should
help ensure names are entered onto the correct proximity markers. If a
proximity marker is moved for putting or chipping, mark that spot and then
ensure the marker is
replaced
at the original spot.
HIO
1. ENTRY FEE: Free for any 2024 member who paid their dues and also paid the initial $10.00 entry fee in 2024. Any new member joining the PSMGA after these dates will be afforded the option to join on their first tournament date and pay the $10.00 entry fee. SIGNUP IS NOT REQUIRED EACH TOURNAMENT.
2.
QUALIFICATIONS: HIOs may be made on any original hole on
the course, including short par 4 holes. However, par 4's shortened to a par
3 or temporary greens on any hole, due to flooding, maintenance, etc. cannot
be counted as an HIO.
3. WITNESSES: Every HIO must be witnessed in order to receive the
payout.
4. CANCELLATION: An HIO is valid once made. It remains an HIO even if
the tournament is subsequently canceled at any time due to inclement
weather, etc.
5. WINNERS: Any participating HIO player who makes a HIO on any
hole wins a maximum of $600. If there are multiple players on any given day
with a HIO, each would receive the maximum $600 payout. HIO payouts will be awarded by check not later than the next
tournament.
