Championship Information

Format/Fields Size: Play will be contested over 54 holes of stroke play with no cut. The top-30 players with the lowest handicap index must play in the championship flight. All other players will have a choice to play in the championship flight, playing from the championship tees. Those players who do not wish to play in the championship flight will be flighted into additional flights after 36-holes and will play a separate set of tees. The field is limited to 84 players.

The deadline to change division is Monday, June 19 at 5:00 PM.

Practice Round Information: Each player is allowed one (1) complimentary practice round at Harbor Lakes Golf Club on Thursday, June 22 beginning at 12:00 PM. Players must contact the host golf shop and identify themselves as 2023 Women’s Stroke Play Championship players to schedule a practice round.

Registration Information: Player registration will be held on Thursday, June 22 between 12:00 PM and 3:30 PM. If a player cannot make registration, she must notify a TGA official at the host club that she is unable to make the registration deadline but will be competing in the championship.

Starting Times/Pairings Information: Starting times and pairings for the first and second round will be made available online at www.txga.org no later than 5:00 PM on Wednesday, June 21. Final pairings will be available online in the evening following play.

Caddies: Caddies are permitted and must adhere to all TGA Competition Policies and host club policies.

TGA ‘One-Seat’ Policy: When riding in a golf cart, there may not be more than two (2) riders per cart at any time. The player can ride in or move a golf cart with another player’s caddie in it, so long as the player whose caddie is in the cart is not riding in another cart at the same time. As a reminder, players are responsible for the actions of their caddie. Continued intentional disregard for the policy may result in disqualification. Riders may NOT ride on the back of a golf cart, or on the dashboard of the golf cart. All riders must be seated on the golf cart seat.

Transportation: Players are encouraged to ride carts during all championship rounds. Cart fees for all championship rounds are included in the entry fee. Carts are limited to two (2) riders at one time and two (2) carts per group. Players must share. Riding on the back of golf carts is prohibited.

Medical Cart: Spectators in accordance of ADA compliance may request golf carts. Requests for golf carts must be supported by complete documentation, including the fully-completed Cart Request Form and the required accompanying medical documentation specified in that form for all first-time requests. Any medical cart request that is granted by the TGA will be good for that individual for the remainder of that calendar season. A request will not be deemed complete until all required information and documentation has been provided. For further information and details contact Senior Tournament Director, Chris Untiedt.

Score Posting: At the conclusion of each round each player’s score will be automatically posted to the World Handicap System. Please do not enter your own scores from the competitive rounds, as this will result in a double post.

Cancellation/Withdrawal Procedure: Prior to the entry deadline players looking to withdraw should do so online through their Golf Genius user profile or by contacting the TGA Staff Contact directly. After the entry deadline has passed players should either call the Texas Golf Association at (214) 468-8942 or email the TGA Staff Contact directly.
