With the agreement of the current Board, the Chair(s) and Committee will: (a) establish entry procedures; (b) determine the field and format; (c) determine the method for substitution in the event of cancellation.
2. In all Major Tournaments and special events, a player will play to a maximum course handicap of 36.
3. Members who have started to play in a Major Tournament are required to complete all rounds under the USGA Rules of Golf. Players who withdraw, no show, X-out or fail to putt out on a hole without reasonable cause as determined by the Tournament Chair(s), will be ineligible to compete in the next Major Tournament.
4. Individual scorecards signed by scorer (marker) and attested by player, are the only scorecards required and are the official scorecards of the tournament. It is recommended that the players keep an unofficial master card for comparison of scores.
5. A scoring area will be established. Once a player deposits her signed and attested scorecard in the designated box, it is considered final. (USGA rule 6.2, 6.6b, c, d)
6. In Major Tournaments, in case of a tie for the overall winner an on-course sudden-death playoff will be held immediately.
