1. New Member Initiation: To become a new member of the I.H. Road Dawgs, an SCGA New Membership Application must be completed and submitted to the Club Vice President of Membership and the appropriate new member fees must be paid in full. If the Club does not accept the new member application, all paid fees will be returned.
2. Member Renewals: Renewal membership fees shall be due no later than January 31 of the new calendar year.
3. Member Responsibilities: Each member is responsible for upholding the honor and integrity of the Club and its mission. This includes abiding by the USGA and SCGA rules of golf, adhering to the policies and regulations of the host golf course, following the rules and formats posted for each tournament, being on-time for all scheduled tee times, showing respect for the Club's well being in the event a Member must cancel or withdraw from a tournament, and remaining current on all Club dues and other monies owed to the Club.

All Club Initiation fees, Membership dues, and Tournament sign-up fees can only be paid by credit card or paypal through the Club's www.road-dawgs.org website. Any fees paid by check, cash or other means will not be recognized as official even if the check or cash is submitted to a Club officer. Members unable to pay via credit card using the Club website should contact a Club officer for assistance.

1. New Member Initiation fee is $50.00.
2. Annual Membership fee is $50.00. The annual membership fee is for the period January 1 through December 31 and is not prorated based on the date of joining. New members are responsible to pay the $50.00 initiation fee and the $50.00 annual membership fee ($100 total) at the time of joining.

1. All Club tournaments will be posted on the Club website and are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. The only way to enter a tournament is to a sign-up via credit card on the Club's website.
2. Each tournament announcement will specify the tournament fee, the number of available playing spots, and the sign-up deadline. When the available playing positions have been filled, a wait-list will be created. Members on the wait-list will only pay once they have been notified that a tournament position has become available to them.
3. With the exception of the Guest Policies noted below, only Club Members may sign-up for or participate in any Club tournaments.

1. Once a Member has signed up for a tournament, that Member becomes solely responsible for filling that tournament position. If a Member is unable to participate in a tournament they have entered, that Member can find a replacement or notify the Tournament Chair and see if a wait-list replacement is available.
2. If a Member finds their own replacement for a tournament, it is the responsibility for that Member to immediately notify the Tournament Chair and it is the responsibility for that Member to settle any financial amounts between himself and his replacement. No cancellation penalty fee will apply to Members finding their own replacements.
3. If a Member cancels and can not find a replacement, that Member should immediately notify the Tournament Chair. The Tournament Chair will contact the wait-list candidates in an attempt to fill the spot. Even after contacting the Tournament Chair, the ultimate responsibility for finding a replacement remains with the Member who is canceling their position.
4. Members who cancel and don't find their own replacements are subject to the following penalty fees:
1. If a Member cancels more than 7 days in advance of the tournament and the Tournament Chair is able to find a replacement the cancellation penalty is $15.00.
2. If a Member cancels 7 days or less in advance of the tournament and the Tournament Chair is able to find a replacement the cancellation penalty is $25.00.
3. If a Member cancels and neither the Member or the Tournament Chair can find a replacement, the Member is subject to the forfeiture of their entire entry fee.
5. Should any scheduled Club tournament or event become canceled due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, the policies of the tournament host course shall prevail with respect to the refund of monies.
6. Any remaining balances owed by the Club to a Member as a result of a Member's cancellation will be returned to the Member via a Club check within 30 days of the completion of the applicable tournament. It is against Club policy to apply "amounts owed" to future tournament entry fees or to Club Dues.

Within the guidelines set forth below, the Tournament Chair has full authority to decide Guest policies on a case-by-case basis. In making Guest decisions for each tournament, the Tournament Chair will act in a manner that is consistent with the best interest of the Club and its paying Members.

1. Guests may not sign-up for tournaments or act as replacements for cancellations without first obtaining the permission of the Tournament Chair.
2. Each guest may play a maximum of one (1) I.H. Road Dawgs event per year.
3. The Low Index applied to a guest will be decided by the Tournament Chair and may not necessarily correspond to the established SCGA Low Index of the guest.
