BVGC Cash Payouts
Frequently Asked Questions
HOW ARE PAYOUTS CHANGING?
Payouts are now cash by default. Members have the option of selecting cash or Pro Shop credit payouts.
WHY DOES BVGC DEFAULT TO CASH PAYOUTS?
Cash is more flexible than Pro Shop credit and the Pro Shop can't provide an online or written credit book account statement.
WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN AMATEUR STATUS WHEN I RECEIVE CASH PAYOUTS?
Yes!
USGA has 3 stipulations that allow a golfer to wager on a competition and still maintain amateur status:
- The players generally know each other
- Participation in the gambling or wagering is not required
- All money won is contributed by the participants
BVGC events are comprised of one or more individual tournament competitions. #1 and #3 are inherent to all BVGC competitions.
In order to satisfy #2, a player can opt out of wagering on any individual competition during sign-up.
