Are we will the Golfster Individual Golf Tour?

We will now be known only as the Individual Golf Tour going forward with a new website and logo.  The Dallas I-Tour and The Houston I-Tour.    You will notice during our Season we will not use the name Golfster as we will use Dallas I-Tour primarily as we transition to simply The Individual Golf Tour. 

 

What is the Entry Fee for the SENIOR FLIGHT?

The entry fee for our new SENIOR Flight is the same as Flight A and B.  You must be 46+ years old to compete in our SENIOR Flight.  We have decided to do away with our Straight-Up Flight and focus on our local senior golfers.

 

May I Play in Dallas or Houston?

Yes.  All I-Tour Members are eligible members no matter what city.  So if you live in the Dallas Area and you find yourself in the Houston Area one weekend, you may play in that Houston Event.  Or if you live in Houston and want to Road Trip to Dallas, you may play an event there.

 

 

Am I competing against everyone from 0-18 handicappers?

No, actually there is three Flights with three payouts schedules.  (Please see our Event Payouts).  While some tournaments combine all levels of play,  The Dallas I-Tour believes in separating members to three levels of play.  SENIOR, Flight A, and Flight B.  All Flights have there separate payout matrix for each event.

 

 

May I play in both SENIOR FLIGHT as well as Flight A for the same Event?

No.  We consider that double dipping.  You may only play in one Flight at a time for the  Individual Golf Tour.

 

 

May I join the I-Tour at any time during the season?

Yes you can. Membership Fee will stay the same. All players will be subject to the Beginning Handicap Policy.  If you do not play in either of our first THREE events of the season, you will not be eligible for 1st or 2nd place until you have completed "1" Tour Event.

 

 

I have a 12 handicap do I have to play in Flight B.

No you do not.  You can play in Flight A if you choose and we will cap you at 9.  The 10-18 handicap is the recommended for Flight B.

 

 

What does the tournament entry fee include?

The tournament entry fees will include, green fee, range balls, cart, & prize fund, Optional Game entry fees are payable day of tournament.  Visit Tour Format for more information.

 

 

Can I join the I-Tour without any handicap information?

Yes you can. Players who send in their membership application without any handicap information are I-Tour Members. Yet, they WILL NOT be able to win any cash prizes until this information has been received by the I-Tour Staff.

 

 

Can I pay in advance for tournaments?

Yes you may. The I-Tour has a process of allowing players to pay in advance for any number of tour events through our online entry process, or by faxing in the EVENT ENTRY form. There is a deadline for online entry. If Tour players want to register after the event deadline they must pay the $10 late fee.

 

 

Will cash awards be given the day of the event? Will all awards be cash?

Yes, checks and cash will be distributed the day of the events for all prizes. When players register early, this allows the I-Tour to financially run smoothly.

 

 

Is this a Walking or a Cart Tour? May I walk if I like?

The I-Tour is a Cart Tour. No walkers and no caddies.  We do this for speed of play reasons. We prefer that all I-Tour players use carts.

 

 

Will the SENIOR Flight Play from the white tees in every event?

Not exactly, we plan to play our Senior Flight from our Flight B Tees mostly.  We are aiming form 6000 - 6300 yards for every event.  We will announce each tee box before every event.

 

 

Can my wife or girlfriend come ride and watch me play?

Yes, you are responsible for renting her a golf cart though.  The I-Tour does not arrange or pay for extra golf carts.

 

Why is my beginning Handicap lower than I expected?

Your Beginning Handicap calculation may be subject to adjustments by the I-Tour Chairman. Please contact the I-Tour at telliott@dallasitour.com for questions about your handicap.

 

 

I’ve sent in an I-Tour Tournament Entry Form, I now will not be able to play in this tournament, what can I do?

You lose $20 if you pull out of a tournament after pairings are listed on the Website.  You will lose $40 if you pull out 2 hours or more of an event the day of.  You lose 50% if you cancel less than 2 hours before the event.  You will not receive any refund or credit if you are a no call no show for an event after your tee time has passed.  All tournament event entry fee’s are fully refundable if entry is canceled before pairing are listed on the website.

Please report this information to The I-Tour on our Feedback Link on our website. We beg you. We would like all participants to assist in the responsibility of fair play in our tour.  The information will be documented, researched, and dealt with according to our Code of Golf Conduct.  People will not join our tour if we have members who don’t know the rules, are dishonest, or are “Hot Heads” 

 

 

I Have a 23.8 handicap, can I still participate in the I-Tour?

Yes you can, the I-Tour will not use your full handicap, it will be shortened to our 18.0 maximum. If you have a +36 handicap you CAN PLAY, you will just play with our maximum allowed handicap of 18.0

 

 

I think I lost my putter in the last I-Tour event, can The I-Tour help me find it?

The I-Tour is not responsible for any lost equipment during our I-Tour events. All participants are asked to keep up with their belongings. The I-Tour is also not responsible for any issues that are health related, nor are we liable for that dummy who forgot to yell “FORE”.

 

 

What does participating in the I-Tour do to my USGA Amateur status?

The USGA is very clear on its stance of Amateur status. Please visit their website at www.usga.org or call their district office. You may waive all cash payouts and accept gift certificates no more than $750 total per event. Please sign and fax in the form: STATEMENT OF AMATEUR STATUS that is included our DOWNLOAD FORMS Link.
