About DGA

1. Members are encouraged to sign up for tournaments as soon as possible but absolutely no later than fourteen days before the tournament. The tournament director will post the foursomes and tee times on our website by the Monday prior to the tournament.
    
2. Special requests for early or late tee times or to play with specific individuals will be honored when possible. Please remember, however, that one of the purposes of our group is to meet and make new friends within the dental profession.
      
3. Prizes (golf balls) will be awarded for low gross and low net in two or three classes, depending on the number of players. The games we use are described in the book Great Games for Golf written by Tom Newton that each DGA member will receive at the first tournament.
      
4. All members are expected to post their own scores, either after the round at the course you played, or on line at www.ghin.com. Since we play for such high stakes (golf balls) it is important that all scores are reported accurately. To borrow from Rotary International, please keep in mind the four way test: 1) is it the truth, 2) is it fair to all concerned, 3) will it build goodwill and better friendships and 4) will it be beneficial to all concerned.
    
5. All tournaments will be governed by USGA and local course rules with one exception. In the DGA tradition, winter rules will be played all year. The ball may be moved 6” to improve your lie, but not your shot (ball cannot be moved out of a hazard or if within 36” of the base of an unmarked tree). On the other hand, there will be no gimme puts; hole them out (nothing like seeing a rich dentist sweat over a two footer worth a sleeve of titleists).
