Theodore Wirth Golf Association - Twin Cities Championships

Twin Cities Senior Championship Application

CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW
The Twin Cities Championship is a competitive golf tournament for players of all abilities, with top prizes, that raises money for our selected charity, the Fairway Foundation. This organization, created by the 3M Championship, the Minnesota Golf Association, and the Minnesota Section of the PGA, introduces inner-city youth to golf and the benefits that come with the game.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT
Prizes will be awarded in four divisions: Seniors and Masters, Gross and Net. However, a prize can be won in only one category. Senior players are aged 50-64, Masters 65 and over at the time of the event. Players 65 and over wishing to compete in the Senior Division must indicate so at the time of their application. A tie for first place in the Gross divisions will be played off immediately, hole by hole, until a champion is determined. A tie for first place Net will be broken by a scorecard playoff following the USGA recommendation of matching scorecard (i.e., final nine, final six, final three, 18th hole, by lot). Prize certificates will be split for all other ties.

CARTS
Carrying your bag is permissible as is using a pull cart.  Motorized riding carts must be reserved in advance and indicated on the entry application.  Fees for the cart are paid in the pro shop prior to the round.  

ENTRY DEADLINE, ENTRY FEE
Entry forms must be postmarked on or before Thursday, July 21, 2023 or completed online by that date. An entry fee of $75 must accompany the entry form.  Late or incomplete entries are not acceptable nor are entries by telephone or FAX. Time limit for entries means time of receipt (not time of postmark).  Entries with insufficient funds will be considered incomplete and will be withdrawn.

ENTRY WITHDRAWAL AND REFUNDS
Entry fee will be refunded, regardless of reason, if the Twin Cities Championship Tournament Committee is notified in writing before the close of entries. After the close of entries, the entry fee will be refunded in the event of injury or illness only if the Committee is notified by phone at 612/529-0510 by 4 p.m. Tuesday, July 25, 2023.  If this event is canceled due to weather, $55 will be refunded but $20 will be retained by the tournament committee because the primary purpose of this event is to raise money for the charity.
