Can I make a group or starting time request?

You may request an “early starting time” or a “late starting time” and the MSGA will do its best to honor your request, but there are no guarantees. To make a request, email Elisa Hermes at ehermes@msga.org.

Are practice rounds available prior to championships?

Practice rounds are at the discretion of the host club. Fees associated with a practice round vary from course to course. Please contact the club directly to schedule a practice round time, do not just show up.

Are caddies allowed at MSGA Championships?

Yes, you may have a caddie and caddies may ride in the cart, as long as there is a seat open. Individual carts for caddies will not be allowed and caddies should never ride on a cart in an improper manner (i.e. standing on the back, sitting on the floor, three in a seat, etc.)
