About Member Days & FAQs

Mass Golf Member Days are increasingly-popular one-day events that give Members of all ages and playing abilities the chance to play at exclusive and highly esteemed courses throughout Massachusetts. Whether you’re playing with friends or meeting new golfers, these events enhance the camaraderie with others who share a passion for golf.

 

 

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2022

There will once again be three divisions for players competing in Member Days.

Women’s Division: 4,800 – 5,200 yards (Net Competition)

Men’s Division: 5,000 – 5,400 yards (Net Competition)

Member Division: 5,800 – 6,200 yards (Open to both Men and Women; Gross and Net Competition)

Competitors will be able to choose which Division to play in AFTER they have been selected for the lottery.

 

Who is eligible to participate in Member Days?

Any person that carries an active Mass Golf Membership and Handicap Index® at any Mass Golf Member Club is eligible to play in any Member Day.  There are no handicap requirements.

What is the maximum number of sites I can enter the lottery for?

There is no limit to the number of events you can enter your name for the lottery drawing.  If there are multiple sites that appeal to you, you are free to enter and request up to 4 spots for each event.

How many times can I enter the lottery?

Each player is only allowed to enter the lottery for each event one time. The number of events you enter and the number of events you are selected as a winner are random.

If I win the lottery and can no longer attend can I transfer my spots to a friend?

No, if you are selected as a Member Day lottery winner and you know that you can no longer attend, you cannot transfer the spots to someone else. You must register, pay for, and be a part of the group that signs up. Otherwise, you will have to decline the spots.

What if I registered and paid for a Member Day and I can no longer attend? Do I sacrifice all of my requested spots?

No, if you registered and paid for a Member Day and you find out later on that you can no longer attend the event, you are required to either substitute another player for your spot, or be subject to the refund policy, as stated further below. Please contact Kyle Sherman regarding substitutions.

What if you and another person you plan to play with are both are selected as lottery winners?

In the event that you and someone that you plan on playing with are selected as lottery winners, the first person to log-in and complete payment using your GHIN® number will solidify your spot in the field.

What happens if I am not selected as a lottery winner?

If your name is not drawn as a lottery winner you will automatically be added to the waiting list in the order the lottery was drawn.  If spots become available in the field at a later date, you will be notified via email ASAP.

What happens if I fail to register and complete payment within 48 hours of being notified that I was a lottery winner?

If you do not log-in to your My Mass Golf portal to register and complete payment within 48 hours of being selected as a lottery winner, you will lose your spot(s) in the field and be placed at the bottom of the waiting list.

When and how do I get my tee times?

Approximately one week prior to the event, tee times, player information and host facility details will be emailed to you directly and be available on the event web site.

Are spectators allowed at Member Days?

Yes, spectators are allowed.

• Spectators must walk unless a cart is needed for mobility impairment.
• If a spectator requires a cart, please fill out the Cart Request Form and adhere to the Mass Golf Mobility Impaired Spectator Cart Policy.

 

If my group can no longer make it to the Member Day we have registered for what is the withdrawal and refund policy?

If you or your group cannot play in a Member Day that you had already registered for:

• A $10.00 per player withdrawal fee will apply if you notify Kyle Sherman at least 7 calendar days in advance.
• A $45.00 per player withdrawal fee will apply if you notify Kyle Sherman in less than 7 calendar days but more than 48 hours prior to the event.

What happens when adverse weather conditions occur on the day of the event?

• If the Member Day is cancelled by the host Club or Mass Golf before play begins, and the event is not rescheduled, all players will receive a full refund.
• Play may be suspended by the Club or Mass Golf due to lightning or adverse weather, requiring a temporary closure of the course.
• If play is suspended, players will be expected to await resumption in an assigned area, unless otherwise instructed by Mass Golf.
• If the event is cancelled after play begins, players who have completed 9 or more holes will not be eligible for any refund. Players who have completed 8 or less holes may be entitled to a partial refund, and the amount of any refund will be determined by Mass Golf.
• Following a suspension(s) of play, if a player withdraws for any reason and the event is completed, that player will not be eligible for a refund.
