CANCELLATION OF PLAY and NO SHOWS
While we recognize that members may need to cancel their attendance at events from time to time, it is imperative that proper notification is made to provide organizers an opportunity to properly set up pairings and to timely notify any members on a Waitlist of their eligibility to play. Therefore, the following cancellation policies must be followed:
Thursday Play Days- If a member signs up to play on a regular Thursday Play Day, but then must cancel, she may do so by removing her name from the sign-up list no later than midnight on the Tuesday immediately preceding the Thursday Play Day.Any cancellations after this time must be made by calling the Mooresville Golf Club Pro Shop.If no one answers or the member gets voice mail, the member MUST email the Mooresville Golf Assistant Club Pro (Ryan Taggart).
MWGA Special Events– Once a member signs up to play in a MWGA special event, but then must cancel, she must do so by immediately contacting that special event’s committee chair.
Foothills or Lake League Competitions– A member may cancel out of any Foothills or Lake League event before the deadline posted in the Competition announcement. After the deadline, the member must follow the cancellation directions noted in the Competition announcement AND immediately notify the MWGA Foothills or Lake League representative.
Members who do not show up to golf events without making the proper notification as outlined above will be subject to the following penalties:
First time within a season– Member will receive a verbal or written warning from the MWGA President.
Second time within a season– Member will have one attendance day subtracted from her total attendance days required to participate in any Foothills / Lake League event, Club Championship, Lake Cup, etc.
Third time within a season– Member will be suspended from the MWGA membership for the remainder of the season. The member may rejoin the MWGA the following season by paying her dues if there is no one on the Waitlist. If there is a Waitlist, then the member will be placed at the end of the Waitlist and will be allowed to pay her dues and rejoin when an opening becomes available.
All No-Shows and improper cancellations should be communicated to the President who will then send that information to the MWGA Secretary and Attendance Committee for tracking and enforcing penalties. Extenuating circumstances resulting in a member being unable to follow the cancellation policies as outlined above will be addressed by the MWGA Executive Board.
