2024 TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION PROCEDURES THE 2023 GOLF SEASON, ALBEIT SHORT, WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS. I WANT TO THANK EACH AND ALL WHO PLAYED IN OUR EVENTS. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THE GOLF COURSE WORK PERFORMED BY SUPERINTENDENT MATTHEW WHARTON AND HIS CREW THIS PAST FALL HAS OUR COURSE LOOKING BRILLIANT AS WE MOVE INTO WINTER. 2024 IS SHAPING UP TO BE A BUSY YEAR AS WE ANTICIPATE INCREASED PARTICIPATION WITH MORE DEMAND FOR ALL GOLF EVENTS. WITH THIS INCREASED DEMAND, WE HAVE CREATED A FAIR WAY TO REGISTER FOR OUR “MAJORS.” HERE IS HOW IT WILL WORK: THE 2024 LEISHMAN CUP WILL BE PLAYED ON FRIDAY, MAY 10.

REGISTRATION OPENS ON MARCH 1 WITH A LOTTERY DRAW (IF NEEDED) ON MARCH 15 TO DETERMINE THE FIELD AND WAITING LIST. FOR THOSE WHO REMAINED ON THE WAITING LIST FROM LAST SEASON’S EVENT, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED INDIVIDUALLY OF AN EARLY REGISTRATION PERIOD PRIOR TO MARCH 1 TO GUARANTEE YOU A SPOT. THE FIELD IS LIMITED TO 92 PLAYERS AND ONLY 1 GUEST PER MEMBER. THIS IS NEW FOR 2024 BUT IS NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE THE LARGE NUMBER OF MEMBERS DESIRING TO PARTICIPATE. THE ENTRY FEE, TBD, WILL BE BILLED ON MARCH 15.

2024 TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION PROCEDURES THE 2024 IDLE HOUR CLASSIC WILL BE PLAYED THURSDAYSATURDAY, JUNE 13-15. REGISTRATION OPENS ON MARCH 15 WITH A LOTTERY DRAW (ANTICIPATED) ON APRIL 1 TO DETERMINE THE FIELD AND THE WAITING LIST. FOR THOSE WHO REMAINED ON THE WAITING LIST FROM LAST SEASON’S EVENT, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED INDIVIDUALLY OF AN EARLY REGISTRATION PERIOD PRIOR TO MARCH 15 TO GUARANTEE YOU A SPOT. THE FIELD IS LIMITED TO 54 MEMBERS AND THEIR GUESTS. THE LOTTERY WILL BE WEIGHTED BY THE NUMBER OF YEARS YOU HAVE BEEN AN IDLE HOUR MEMBER. (IF YOU HAVE BEEN A MEMBER FOR 25 YEARS, THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE ADDED TO THE LOTTERY 25 TIMES.) THE ENTRY FEE, TBD, WILL BE BILLED ON APRIL 1.

THE 2024 MEMBER-MEMBER WILL BE PLAYED ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, AUGUST 10-11. REGISTRATION OPENS ON JUNE 1 WITH A LOTTERY DRAW (IF NEEDED) ON JUNE 18 TO DETERMINE THE 54TEAM FIELD.

2024 TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION PROCEDURES THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF WILL SEND REMINDER EMAILS AS WE MOVE CLOSER TO EACH EVENT’S OPENING REGISTRATION DATE. JUST AS LAST YEAR, ALL REGISTRATIONS MUST BE DONE VIA EMAIL TO THE PRO SHOP. IF A LOTTERY IS NEEDED FOR ANY OF THE EVENTS, IT WILL BE CONDUCTED WITH FULL TRANSPARENCY ON THE DATE INDICATED AT A TIME AND LOCATION TO BE DETERMINED. THE WAITING LIST EXEMPTION IS FOR THE 2023 MEMBERS WHO WERE ON WAITING LISTS AND WERE NOT ABLE TO ENTER THE FIELD. AFTER THE 2024 SEASON, THE WAITING LIST EXEMPTION WILL NOT EXIST.
