NORTHERN CALIFORNIA GOLF ASSOCIATION
The NCGA has declared that the following divisions will be NCGA Point Events:
- Men’s Championship
- Men’s Senior
- Men’s Super Senior
- Women’s Championship
We also want to take this opportunity to remind players that the San Francisco City Golf Championship is solely operated by the “SF Golf Championship Committee”. In the past the Northern California Golf Association (NCGA) has more than graciously supplied rules officials to monitor play and to help players with rulings but, they no longer act in that role. They do not manage the tournament, nor do they act in any capacity to assist players in signing up or, making rulings at the tournament.
NOTE: NOTE: Ties for qualifying spots for Championship Divisions will be broken by sudden death playoff. Ties for seeding shall be broken by the USGA method of matching scorecards also known as a Scorecard Count Back. Qualifying spots for Senior and Super Senior Divisions will be determined by matching scorecards.
STARTING TIMES
All tournament and qualifying rounds will begin at 7:30am unless otherwise noted. Tee times and pairings will be posted at TPC Harding Park and the tournament website at www.sfgolfchampionship.com.
