PLAYER INFORMATION
84th SCGA AMATEUR NET CHAMPIONSHIP
INDUSTRY HILLS GOLF CLUB
MONDAY - TUESDAY, APRIL 9-10
REGISTRATION:
All participants must check in at the SCGA registration table located in front of the cart staging area upon arrival on Monday morning.
STARTING TIMES AND PAIRINGS:
Round one starting times and pairings will be e-mailed to players and posted online at scga.org/amnet one week in advance of the tournament. Starting times will range from 7:30 a.m. to approximately 9:30 a.m. each day of the championship. Starting times and pairings for round two will be based on round one scores and will be available approximately one hour after the conclusion of round one.
Players are encouraged to arrive at their assigned tee well in advance of their starting time, as the SCGA starter will have information to discuss and distribute to each player in the group. Furthermore, players arriving late will be penalized under Rule 6-3a 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. Lead groups should plan to be at their assigned tee 10 minutes in advance of their starting time. Subsequent groups are encouraged to arrive in time to watch the group in front of them tee off.
PRACTICE ROUNDS:
Players may make arrangements for practice rounds at their own expense. Practice Rounds can be booked up to two weeks prior to the championship. Call Industry Hills Golf Club (626) 810-4653 up to seven days in advance of the date you wish to play.
Green Fees: Industry Hills’ member rates will apply to those who identify themselves as a participant in the SCGA Amateur Net Championship.

DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICES AND CELL PHONES:

A multi-functional device, such as a smartphone or PDA, may be used as a distance-measuring device, but it must not be used to gauge or measure other conditions where doing so would be a breach of Rule 14-3. Any questions about such devices should be resolved before the start of the stipulated round. Otherwise, cell phone use is discouraged during the stipulated round.
