The Tournament Chairman and Special Assistant will organize and run a tournament every 3rd Saturday of each month. A sign-up sheet will be posted on the day of the tournament for the next month's tournament. Deadline for entries is the Monday prior to the tournament day. Early sign up is encouraged as the field may be limited. No assurance can be made that late entries will be accommodated. Members must have a current handicap to qualify for tournament participation. An entry fee will be charged and prizes will be awarded in the form of gift certificates redeemable in the pro shop [or another retailer where applicable]. Starting times will be available by noon on the Friday before the tournament date. USGA rules govern all play except where superseded by local rules. Mystery Valley resident PGA Professional, or his designated representative, will be the Final Arbiter of rules interpretation or applicability. All MVGA directed competitions will be conducted with the intent to play the ball down i.e. [as it lies] unless otherwise specifically noted by the committee.
All defending champions will be automatically qualified. All members must have an established USGA handicap and participate in at least one (1) MVGA monthly tournament prior to a major championship in order to enter in a championship tournament. The Handicap Committee may adjust participants' handicaps at its discretion.
