Eligibility

Entries are open to sides of amateur golfers with an individual up-to-date Handicap Index® based on ratings for men not exceeding 2.4 under the Rules of Handicapping. A current Handicap ID number (GHIN) issued through an authorized golf club is required and must be submitted on the entry form.  Two players who play as partners comprise a side. Partners are not required to be from the same club, state, country, etc.

Amateur Status: All amateur players must conform to the Rules of Amateur Status as approved by the United States Golf Association and The R&A.

Performance in Qualifying: If a side fails to return a score within eight strokes of the Course Rating™, future entries for U.S. Amateur Four-Ball, U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, U.S. Mid-Amateur or U.S. Senior Open Championships may be declined if documentation is not provided demonstrating that the player is capable of competing at the national championship level. Please note that sides who “no card” are subject to receive a letter from the USGA under the same guidelines as those who do not return a score within eight strokes of the Course Rating.

Withdrawal from Qualifying: Players can withdraw by logging into their account and clicking on the WITHDRAW tab. They must also notify the Official in Charge prior to their scheduled Qualifying round. Failure to do so may result in disqualification from future USGA competitions.

 

Entry Fee

Entry fee of $190 must be paid by both players in every side. After the first player of a side registers, they will receive an email to forward to the second player on their side to finish registration. A side is only registered once both players have submitted the application. Players who withdraw prior to close of entries will receive a refund less a service charge. Players can withdraw by logging into their account and clicking on the WITHDRAW tab. Players who withdraw prior to the close of entries will receive a refund of $135. Players who withdraw after the close of entries and prior to 48-hours of the qualifier will receive a $90 refund. Players who withdraw within 48 hours of the qualifier or after will not receive a refund.
