ETIQUETTE
We wish to bring to your attention, or remind you, that when a club graciously agrees to host an AGA championship or USGA qualifying event, it does so at no cost to the either the player or the association.  Therefore, we ask that you conduct yourself appropriately while a guest and take responsibility in the same regard for anyone accompanying you.

Also, please be advised that clubs are operating in certain aspects at the direction of the AGA and any complaints regarding availability of cart, fees paid, or available practice times should be directed to the AGA and not the club staff.

Thank you for your consideration of all the above. We hope you have a pleasant and successful competition.

ELIGIBILITY
Entries are open to male, amateur golfers, who are: 1) members of the Alabama Golf Association (have active GHIN number in Alabama); and 2) bona fide residents of the State of Alabama (Non-resident college students are generally not eligible, If in doubt, contact the AGA office at (205) 979-1234).

Maximum allowable combined team handicap is 16.8 strokes under the terms of the USGA Men’s Handicap System. The AGA will be the final authority in determining whether or not a handicap that has been submitted qualifies as an “approved USGA handicap”.

In the event a team member is not present to begin play in the Championship, and is not likely to play the majority of the first round, that team will not be allowed to begin play, at the discretion of the AGA.

Entries are subject to rejection, or withdrawal, at any time at the discretion of the AGA.
