Q: How do I ensure I get paired with my friend or family member?
A: As long as you write down the names of the people you want to be paired with in the “Pairings or Tee Time Requests” option when registering we will know to pair you with those people. However, to further ensure that you are paired with those people, you will want to ask them to do the same. (Please note if you write down someone’s name, who does not have your name in that same field and instead has other players’ names, you may not be paired with that person. Additionally, please not that a friend or family member who has been added to the event after pairings have been released, in most circumstances, we will not be able to re-arrange pairings/teams to accommodate that original request).
Q: How are tee times determined when it comes to tee time requests?
A: WNT staff will do its best to accommodate any tee time requests players make in the “Pairings or Tee Time Requests” field upon registering, however, specific times or requests cannot be guaranteed. If several players ask to play at or around the same time, WNT staff will take in factors such as distance to travel and other exceptional circumstances to try and accommodate those players first. (Please note that tee time requests for players added to the event off the waitlist after pairings have been released will have no bearing.)
Q: I have been put on the waitlist, when will my credit card be charged?
A: Your credit card will not be charged until confirmed into the event.
Q: I have been put on the waitlist, when will I be notified if I have been confirmed into the event?
A: If a spot becomes available for you prior to the entry deadline, we will automatically add you to the event; your credit card will be charged and a confirmation email will be sent to you. If a spot becomes available for your after the entry deadline, we will contact you by phone or email to confirm you are still interested in playing before confirming you into the event.
Q: I am registered for an event, however, my friend who signed up after me was waitlisted. I only want to play if my friend can play with me. What are my options?
A: Your best option is not to cancel for the event and wait until the entry deadline to see if your friend gets confirmed into the event. If he does not get confirmed into the event by the entry deadline, you may cancel at that time for the $10 processing fee. (Please note that if you do decide to remain in the event and your friend subsequently gets into the event from off the waitlist, and pairings have already been released, in most circumstances, we will not be able to re-arrange pairings/teams to accommodate that original request.)
Q: Are spectators allowed at WNT events?
A: Yes, spectators are welcome at WNT events. However, spectator carts are not allowed, and spectators are expected to walk if they are to come and follow a group. A spectator who rents or brings a cart, will be notified by an NCGA official that the cart is not allowed and will be asked to return the cart immediately. If a spectator rides with a player, due to a cart seat becoming available, or by choosing to drive/ride while the player walks, the spectator then becomes a caddie, and is responsible for any rules infractions that may come about for that player (see question below). Walking spectator(s) should keep a fair and comfortable distance from the group they are following. This means, not walking on the greens or on tees, and staying out of the fairway when possible, and instead walking near or on the cart path.
Q: Are caddies allowed at WNT events?
A: Yes, caddies are allowed at WNT events, however riding caddies may not be allowed due to the WNT’s two-cart per group policy. Caddies are responsible for any rules infractions that may occur for the player he/she is caddying for. The Rules of Golf have specific rules for caddies, see Rule 10.3. It is the player’s responsibility to make sure his/her caddie knows the rules.
Q: What is the WNT cancellation policy?
A: After a player has signed up, he/she may cancel from the event at any time prior to the cancellation deadline (normally one week prior) for a processing fee of $10. Players will need to cancel through their registration account, or if not possible email the WNT staff-in-charge. Any cancellation after that deadline is subject to a loss of all funds, unless a replacement can be filled from the waiting list. The cancellation cost with a replacement after the deadline is $25.
Q: I played in a Weekend Net Tour event and placed in my flight (and/or won a skin). How and when do I receive my gift card/skins money?
A: Gift cards are distributed to winners via email by WNT staff. You will want to make sure your email is up to date in your Golf Genius profile. These gift cards are done in batches, so you may not receive it immediately, and may receive multiple (if you were to place/win in more than one event in close proximity) at the same time. Please allow up to 6 weeks before contacting WNT staff regarding the status of a gift card.
