ALTERNATE POLICIES

Girls Junior PGA Championship Alternates Openings caused by the withdrawal or non-entry of any of the 45th Girls Junior PGA Championship players who qualified to play in the Girls Junior PGA Championship through exemptions A-2, A-3 or A-4, will be filled exclusively from an alternate list determined by the section where that player qualified.

Openings caused by the withdrawal or non-entry of any of the 45th Girls Junior PGA Championship players who qualified to play in the Girls Junior PGA Championship through exemptions A-1, B, C, D, E or F, will be filled exclusively from an alternate list determined by the Championship Committee.

Openings caused by the withdrawal or non-entry of any of the 45th Girls Junior PGA Championship players after Tuesday, July 21st will be filled using an on-site alternate list created by the Championship Committee.

On-site Alternates Players chosen as on-site alternates will be contacted by the Championship Committee immediately. Once on site, alternates must check-in with the championship office to receive information of the his/her status.

On Site Alternate List On Site Alternate Lists will be located on the 1st and 10th tees of the championship course.

Alternate’s Responsibility All alternates must check in with a PGA Rules Committee member at either starting tee. The alternate may then choose to leave their cell phone number with the PGA Rules Committee member on the tee, and remain on the practice putting green or range, but should inform the PGA Rules Committee member on the tee where he/she will be located. If an alternate chooses to leave the starting tee, it remains the alternate’s responsibility to know his/her starting time should a spot become available, at either tee. He/She must be positioned on either starting tee, “ready to play”, prior to five minutes following that starting time.

Example: If a Contestant is missing at 9:00 a.m., the PGA Rules Committee member will start the group and then call the alternate. The alternate is then responsible to arrive on the appropriate tee prior to 9:05 a.m. to take that spot with no penalty. After 9:05 a.m. but prior to 9:10 a.m. the alternate would start with the general penalty for being late to the tee.

It is the alternate’s responsibility to know his/her status. It is also the responsibility of the contestant, or alternate when he/she becomes a contestant, to know his/her starting time. An alternate who is not available to replace a withdrawal or no-show is disqualified from the Championship.

Advanced Notice If the committee becomes aware of a withdrawal, prior to a starting time, then the committee will try to notify the first alternate or, if the first alternate is not available, the next highest available alternate of his/her starting time. Any alternate passing up a spot in the field is not able to substitute at a later time.

Last Minute Failure to Appear for Starting Time If the committee is not aware of a withdrawal and a contestant simply fails to appear for a starting time, or arrives after the five-minute time period, then the highest available alternate who is ready to play MUST take that spot.

Example: If the missing contestant’s starting time was 9:00 a.m., then the highest alternate ready to play at 9:05 a.m. would be in the field. The alternate’s starting time would be 9:05 a.m., if no alternate is ready by 9:10 a.m., all alternates will be disqualified.

Thereafter, all disqualified alternates CANNOT substitute for any later opening that might occur unless that round is cancelled.
