Signing Up for Events: "DOs and DON'Ts"

NHSGA Golf Event sign-ups in Golf Genius

Tips to keep signups as straightforward as possible.

Help to reduce errors, misunderstandings, overpayments, underpayments, and confusion.

DOs:

  • Ahead of time, do specify in your profile your "Tee Time Preference" (AM or PM). In any events where you cannot or do not pick a tee time directly, it will help the tournament committee put you where you want to be.

  • Do “add another member” to your team until your whole foursome (or fewer) is together. Then arrange for payment. Then pick a tee time.
    Or don’t pick a tee time, and let us pick one for you. The tournament committee can see that you are in the event and need a tee time.

  • Do pay for yourself. Pay for your foursome if you want, but you can also have invoices sent straight to their email addresses.

  • After you register for an event, “edit your registration” is always preferable to “New Registration.” Save the confirmation email you receive. It contains a direct link to edit your registration.

 

DON'Ts:

  • Don’t pick an empty tee time if you are signing up as a single.
    Add yourself to a threesome, or don’t pick any tee time. Just indicate that you prefer AM or PM in your profile. We’ll find a place for you in a twosome or threesome. The tournament committee can see that you are in the event and need a tee time.

  • Don’t try to grab your favorite tee time quickly by signing just one person up, planning to come back later to add the rest of your foursome. Someone else may add themselves to your tee time before you get back. And furthermore, your group, added in spurts, may not look to the tournament committee like a team that signed up together and wants to play together. Committee volunteers are much more likely to accidentally split you up.

  • Don’t forward your email payment reminder to your group members to remind them to pay! They get their own reminders. The link in your email is for you only. If your buddy clicks a link in your forwarded email and pays, he’s paying again for you, and not for himself. The tournament committee will end up giving confusing refunds and extra invoice reminders.
