Every effort is made to play all scheduled tournaments. Players should be aware that the weather conditions at the site of the tournament may be significantly different from where the player lives. Contact the tournament site for information.
If the entire tournament is cancelled prior to the scheduled start time, the MSGA will attempt to contact all players as soon as possible after the tournament cancellation is determined. Players who reside the greatest distance from the tournament site will be contacted first.
Generally, cancelled tournaments are not rescheduled because of difficulty in negotiating an acceptable reschedule date with the golf course. Since the MSGA does not deposit entry fees until after the date of the tournament, entry fee checks will be returned as quickly as possible.
Tournament entrants may cancel their participation in any tournament 48 hours prior to the scheduled start time without penalty. Return of entry fees will be made as soon as possible after the tournament.
If an entrant cancels within 48 hours of scheduled start time, the MSGA will attempt to fill the opening with another eligible member. If the MSGA is able to fill the opening, the entry fee will be returned as soon as possible after the tournament. If the MSGA is unable to fill the opening, the entry fee is non-refundable.

Each member/golfer assumes all risks and dangers incidental to the game of golf, including but not limited to the risk of bad weather, lightning, being struck by errant golf shots and the risk of being injured by or falling from a golf cart and releases the Michiana Seniors Golf Association (MSGA) and its officers, directors, agents and employees from any and all liabilities resulting from such risks.

The MSGA strives to have its’ members complete tournament rounds within 4¼ to 4½ hours. For groups that are significantly behind, the Director of Golf will encourage the group to speed up play until they catch up to the group in front.
In order to keep rounds within this goal, the MSGA offers the following suggestions:
- Be ready to hit your shot when it becomes your turn.
- Do not sit in the cart while your cart partner or other players hit their shots. Try to determine which club(s) you will use and if practical, walk to your ball and be ready to hit your shot.
- When returning to your cart, keep your club(s) with you while you drive to the next shot, then put the club(s) in your bag and make the club selection for your next shot.
- Even though you may not be away, if no other player is ready to hit and you do not interfere with other players, hit your shot.
- Follow all cart directional signs, but try to park the cart in the direction of the next tee box when reaching the green.
- Upon reaching the green, provided it does not interfere with others, try to line up your putt while another player is putting.
- The player closest to the hole should remove the flag stick and the first player to hole out should retrieve the flag stick and replace it after putting is complete.
- When returning to your cart, keep your putter with you until you reach the next tee box, then put the putter in your bag and record the scores.
- Hand held or GPS devices may be used for measuring distance only. Scores are to be posted in the normal manner whether or not a measuring device is used.
- The simplest way to know if your group is playing at a reasonable pace is to see where the group in front is compared to your group. If your group is more than one hole behind, your group needs to concentrate on playing “ready golf” until your group catches up.
Speed up play and make golf enjoyable for everyone!
