Directions for Completing Weekly Tournament Applications

Where Do I Get Applications?

• You received four (4) application forms in your member handbook.
• Please make copies of the application if you intend to play more than four tournaments.
• If you don’t have access to a copy machine, you may obtain additional applications from your club rep or print  forms from the WMSGA website at www.wmsga.org.

How Do I Complete an Application?

• Fill in your name, home club, and date of the tournament you’re applying for.
• If desired, reserve a cart.
• If it's not a shotgun start, note your preference of tee time -- early or late. You may also request one specific playing partner for tee time tournaments. As often as possible, requests will be honored
• Indicate the amount of money required for the tournament you're applying for and the user fee (unless you’re a member of the host club).

What Do I Send with My Application and When Do I Send It?

• Send the application along with a single check made payable to WMSGA to the administrative assistant at the address on the application. Enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard if the administrative assistant does not have your email address.
• On the memo line of your check indicate which tournament you are applying for.
• Do not fold, staple, or paperclip applications and/or checks together.
• The postcard will be returned to you with your tee time or pairing group (for shotgun start) as confirmation of your entry. (You may omit the postcard and rely on email notification if you wish.)
• Your application must be postmarked within the open and close dates as specified on the tournament schedule.

How Many Applications May I Send in One Envelope?

• You may send as many applications (separated, cut apart) as you wish in the same envelope, as long as each person completes an application form and all payments are included. Also include at least one stamped, self-addressed postcard or an email address for confirmation.
• All applicants must be a current -- that means paid -- WMSGA members.

What Happens If the Tournament Is Oversubscribed?

• When more golfers apply than the host course allows, applicants will be drawn out randomly. Exception: Members of the host course cannot be drawn out.
• The administrative assistant will maintain a roster of those drawn out of tournaments. Once you are drawn out, you will not be drawn out again that season or for the entire next season. For example, if you were drawn out on August 8, 2006, you cannot be drawn out again until the first tournament of 2008.

What about Special Tournaments?

• You must use the correct application form for special tournaments found in your state book, not the weekly application form.

• Special tournaments for 2007 include Kick Off, Metropolitan, TriState, Seniors, Best Ball of 2, NEWGA, Championship, Annual Meeting, 2 Best Balls of 4, and Scramble.
