Tour Policies
Tee Times and Registration Deadlines:
Registration deadline will be every Sunday at 5 pm before each of the events. Tee times will be posted by 8 pm after the deadline.
Rulings:
ForeLGT is governed by USGA rules. For rulings on site, please call one of the tournament directors.
Withdrawal/No Show Policy:
Before the tee times are posted there is no charge on returns. After the tee times are posted regardless of reason, a $50 fine will be taken out of your entry. If you have signed up and was planning on paying on site at the registration table and withdraw or is a no show, the amount of $50 will be added to your next entry. If you have paid by credit card and withdraw from an event after the tee times are posted, your return will be fined $50, so therefore you will receive your entry fee minus the $50 fee. This fee is to cover the first rounds green fees. For those of you that have paid with a credit card, all returns will not include the 3% convience fee, paypal is charging you this fee and not the tour.
Exception: If you are on the alternate list on either the LPGA tour or LPGA Futures Tour (aka Symetra tour) and gets in before the start of the first round, then there is no charge for withdrawals.
Yardage Measuring Devices:
You may obtain yardages from any device that measures DISTANCE only. Breach of this policy will end is a Disqualification
Cart Policy:
All players must ride in carts to and from the tee box and to the green. This is in effect due to pace of play policy. We only allow 2 carts per group with only 2 persons per cart with no exceptions. In between holes, caddies and spectators may ride to the next tee providing that there is room.
Pace of Play:
The pace of play for all the events is 4 hrs and 30 minutes.
Caddies:
We do allow caddies. Caddies must wear flat soled tennis shoes or running/walking shoes. DO NOT WEAR GOLF SHOES! Caddies may ride in the carts providing that there is room. In case that there are more than one caddies, all caddies must walk. Its not fair to the both of them if someone rides and the other doesn't. We do not allow caddies to ride on the back of the carts during play due to insurance reasons. However, in between holes is okay. CADDIES MAY NOT OBTAIN THEIR OWN CARTS.
Spectators:
We do encourage the players to bring their spectators to come out and watch some of the best female golfers in town. However, spectators must stay in the rough or on the cart paths at all times. Spectators are allowed to obtain their own carts providing that the host club allows renting out extra carts. Please be courteous to the players at all times. These ladies are here to make a living.
Gender Restrictions:
ForeLGT is for female professional golfers and competitive amateurs. You must be born female at birth to play on this tour.
Rain Delays and Cancellations:
In case of a cancellation due to weather, the purse will not be effected as long as we get everyone finished with 18 holes.
Purse Distribution:
The purse distribution depends on the price of the green fees for two days and during which season the events are in. Here in Orlando, the peak season is starting in January and runs through the end of April. So during this time, the purse may be a little lower than what it could be. We try not to spend more than $35 a player per day, only because the more the green fees are, the less the purse is going to be. We will pay out the top 33% of the players at all of the events.
In the case that we have 35 players, the purse pay out will look something like this: With 35 players, the top 33% which is top 12 and ties will get paid.
1. $1800 5. $500 9. $400
2. $1100 6. $475 10. $380
3. $900 7. $450 11. $360
4. $700 8. $425 12. $350
In the case that we have 70 players, the purse pay out will look something like this: With 70 players, the top 33% which is top 23 and ties will get paid.
