Start Times

Tournaments start at 10:00 am (arrive by 9:30)

We heard you! It gets HOT out there in the summer.
Two things we are trying this year:

1. No tournaments in JULY.
2. We are planning to start a couple of tournaments earlier
   As of now, they are all set for 10am,
   will update the group if the time changes.

Info about the Fees

Half of our courses are Premium priced this year, and half are Standard priced

We try to strike a balance between tournament fees that allow us to make a little extra on the Standard-priced courses, helping us offset the cost of Premium-priced courses, while still offering prize money at each event.

New Member Incentives

Adding new members is key to a healthy league.

We will continue our INVITE A FRIEND events this year.

You are welcome and encouraged to invite friends to the following tournaments:

      April 6th – Nob North.
      Sept 14th – Cartersville CC

Tournament Participation Incentive

To encourage participation, we are awarding points for tournament participation.
Refer to the schedule for tournament point values.

Our last tournament will be our:

2026 Participation Reward Tournament:

• Oct. 26th tournament at Bent Tree GC.
• Bonus Quota Points are awarded based on your accumulated participation points.
• Prize money will be increased for this final tournament.
• The minimum number of participation points required to be eligible for the increased prize amount is 30 points
• Par 3 contest prizes at this tournament will be increased
• Points for this tournament count toward your yearly total
• Prize drawings for members with 30 points or more.
• Top 10% most points, receive an extra ticket in the drawing

You can play even if you don’t have 30 participation points; you just won’t receive any Bonus Quota points or be eligible for the “additional” prizes and the extra award money. To help you qualify, the last tournament will be worth 5 points. If you are a few points short of 30, but went to Tansi, we will add up to 5 points to get you to 30 points.

** 2025 Participation Reward Tournament **

Last year’s Participation Reward Tournament was rained out.
It will be this year’s first tournament at Nob North. Players who had the most participation will be rewarded with extra quota points, and players with over 25 points will be eligible for increased prize money.
