Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. A player will be considered registered only upon payment of the registration fee.

TEE TIMES

Tee time slots from May 28-30 (Wed-Fri) will be prioritized for local or Bacolod-based guests. For tee time slots from May 31 – June 1 (Saturday-Sunday) priority will be given to sponsors and out-of-town guests. Tee time slots per day will come on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tee-off times will be done using shotgun format. There will be 2 tee time schedules every day –  6:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Hole assignments will be released on the day

INCLEMENT WEATHER RULE - SHOTGUN START FORMAT

In the event of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances that result in the suspension of play, and not all players can complete the full 18 holes, the tournament committee will implement the following policy to ensure fair and consistent scoring across the field

Nine-Hole Score Policy
If every player in the field has completed at least nine (9) holes, but not all have finished all eighteen (18), the tournament results will be determined using each player’s first nine holes played regardless of the starting hole or tee assignment in the shotgun start format.

  1. –  The first nine holes are defined as the first nine holes completed in the order played by the individual competitor – not necessarily Holes 1 through 9
  2. –  This approach ensures fairness for all participants, regardless of their starting point on the course.

PILIGAN PHP 500 (1 PILIGAN PER 9 HOLES)

Each player is allowed (2) Piligans daily: 1 Piligan at Hole # 1-9 & and 1 Piligan for Hole # 10-18. The player must declare that he is taking a Piligan. He can then proceed to PLACE the ball one scorecard length not nearer the hole from where he played his last shot. Piligans may be used anywhere except on the putting green and may not be used to claim a Hole-in-One prize. (Unlike a Mulligan, where you are required to play the Mulligan shot, you have a choice of which ball will be used in PILIGAN.)

OTHER FEES IN PLAYER’S ACCOUNT

  1. Golf cart @ P800 (2 seater), P1000 (4 seater) sharing for 18 holes.
  2. Caddy @ P700 minimum for 18 holes.
  3. Piligan @ P500 (1 per 9 holes)
  4. Snacks & F&B charges (passcard system)

(Note: Caddie fees must be settled directly and immediately with the caddies concerned.)

GIMME CIRCLE
