Frequently Asked Questions

What does it cost to Join the SEMO Seniors - The one time initiation fee is $10.  Annual dues are $35 per member each year.

Entry Forms and Checks – Tournament Directors hold entry checks until the tournament is actually played.  Upon completion of the tournament, the checks will be deposited in the SEMO Seniors bank account.  Once a tournament is full, the tournament director, at their discretion, will dispose of entry checks received too late to play in the tournament.


***Important***

Do not put checks for multiple tournaments in one envelope.  Each entry must be sent to the respective tournament director indicated on the entry form.

Refunds - No refunds of tournament entry fees will be made within ten (10) days of the event.

Golf Etiquette – Please wear proper golf clothing (collared shirts, slacks or Bermuda style shorts.  No gym attire or tank tops will be permitted.  Please repair all ball marks on greens; drive carts only in permitted areas of golf course; and do not bring your own food or coolers to the events.  The conduct of our members helps SEMO Seniors maintain good relationships with the golf courses by knowing and following proper golf etiquette and course rules.  If you have a concern or complaint, please bring it to the attention of a SEMO Senior Board Member – Do not complain to the golf course staff.

Handicaps –– Handicap calculation for the 2024 will be done by the new system we implemented in mid-year 2021. This is based on the indexes of the average of your last three scores.  Handicaps will be updated after each event and scores posted in 2023 and prior years will be used in calculating your 2024 handicap. 

. THIS METHOD CONFORMS TO THE USGA GUIDELINES FOR CUSTOM HANDICAPS.  The scores posted in 2023 and previous years are used in calculating your 2024 handicap.
