RUTGERS GOLF ASSOCIATION 2021 SEASON
RUTGERS GOLF ASSOCIATION - - - 2021 Membership Application
Welcome both past and new members.
Our 2021 season begins on March 20th. Due to Covid-19 we will again change the Opening Breakfast at the Elks to a "Grab and Go" type breakfast. We will also be changing the tournament from a shotgun start to tee times. The ProShop will provide the tee times for opening day.
Memberships
We will again be offering both full and half season memberships. Half Season memberships ($75.00) will expire June 30th and can be upgraded to full membership by paying an additional ($50.00) prior to July 1st. Half Season memberships are also available from July 1st to the end of the season.
The RGA now leverages "Stripe" for online registration and payment.
The RGA is now accepting online payments for your 2021 registration. You can apply by completing a few questions and entering your credit card details. There is a small processing fee in addition to your membership payment.
We will also accept checks being mailed along with the standard application form to the following:
RGA
PO Box 803
Piscataway, NJ 08855
We will be using your email address to notify you of major tournament seedings, tee times, tournament changes due to weather, and all other important announcements.
The RGA Brochure for 2021 will be available shortly on the RGA website once all revisions are completed. The brochure will include complete information on tournaments, formats, local rules and the schedule of events.
Assigned Starting Times: The RGA does request blocked out starting times for a few special events (i.e.; Opening Day, Closing Day and Cookout tournaments). We also request a limited number or assigned starting times for those who qualify to compete in the final rounds of our major tournaments(i.e. Pres./Vice-Pres, Cup, Seniors Tournament, Club Championship, Cristauro Classic, and the Tournament of Champions). For all other weekend RGA events you are required to arrange your own starting times by using the reservation system or by using you weekend lottery times.
Assigned Tee Times: For major tournaments players are assigned tee times after the qualifying round of the tournament. It is your responsibility to determine if you qualified and your assigned tee time. The Tournament Committee will attempt to notify you via email and the tee times will be posted on the RGA website and the RGA bulletin board inside the clubhouse. If you do not show for your assigned tee time you will forfeit all winnings for that tournament. Please do not sign up for a major tournament if you are not sure you will be available to play all rounds.
USGA Rules, Rutgers Golf Course Local Rules, and Rutgers Golf Association Rules govern all RGA Tournaments. Each hole played must be “holed out” and each stroke recorded for your score. There are no “gimmes”. Putts can only be conceded in match play. Scores entered in the new Golf Genius app will be adjusted in accordance with Equitable Stroke Control before being submitted to the GHIN service for handicapping. Your membership dues are used to pay for your GHIN handicap, a cookout, prizes, trophies, and RGA operating expenses.
Notice: Refund of Membership Dues: If you become dissatisfied for any reason you may withdraw from the RGA and request a full refund of your dues, provided that you make such a request before March 20th, 2021. (July 1 for second half season member). There are no refunds once the season starts.
