Q: What is an online golf tournament?
A: An online golf tournament, through Golf Tournaments Online,
is an opportunity for members of the site to play an 18 hole round
of golf at the venue of their choice; while competing against other
golfers playing at the same or other golf courses registered for
the same tournament.
Q: How does Golf Tournaments Online establish a fair playing
field when players are competing on different golf courses and
each golf course has different levels of difficulty?
A: Golf Tournaments Online uses a
formula that takes into
consideration the golfer’s handicap index, the course slope
rating and the golfers gross score and then calculate a net score
for each participant.
Q: Can anyone become a member of Golf Tournaments Online?

verification process,
membership is restricted to golfers who have a verifiable

ghin.com and
golfnet.com?
A: They are websites used by handicap services for the purpose
of reporting and storing golfer’s scores and handicaps. Most

service. In the event that there is another handicap reporting
website available, please let us know and we will consider
adding it to our
verification process.

Q: How is prize money determined?
A: Sixty percent of all collected entry fees will be divided
between first, second and third place winners. In the
event of a tie, prize monies will be awarded to the top
three placements with dollar amounts being divided
equally according to the placement of the tie. For
example: If there is a tie for second place; second and
third place dollars will be combined and split equally
between the two tying second place winners. There
will be no third place winner, as prize money will be
awarded to the top three placements.
Q: When are winnings dispersed?
A: Winnings are dispersed
upon receipt of a completed
W-9 Form and all scores have been
verified.
Every effort will be made to disperse winnings prior to the
