Post last updated Wednesday, April 1
Dear VSGA members,
We share in your concerns about the COVID-19 epidemic and
its impact on everyday life in Virginia. The health and wellness of all VSGA
members is of the highest priority. We continue to monitor reports from
government leaders and health officials and are using those updates to guide
our response to the epidemic.
Updating a previous decision to postpone all VSGA events through at least April 23, the VSGA has extended that period to include all VSGA championships, One-Day Events, Junior Golf Circuit events and education events through at least May 10.
We recognize that Governor Northam has issued a statewide Stay-at-Home order that is in place until June 10. However, the order states that this may be amended or rescinded by further executive order, so we will provide another update on or around April 27 in case there is any new information that comes out between now and then.
The VSGA will try to reschedule as many postponed events as possible later in the year. We will only resume play when we believe it is safe for competitors, staff, Rules officials and any other tournament volunteers and club officials.
Players with active entries should NOT withdraw
from events online, as that will
not result in a full refund. Additional communication is forthcoming with
information regarding refunds, credits, etc. from specific events.
Additionally, most of the VSGA staff is currently
working remotely, but we are available to attend to your needs and questions during
normal business hours (8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday). Please contact VSGA
headquarters at (804) 378-2300 with any questions or concerns and to connect
with the appropriate staff member(s).
The VSGA has created a COVID-19 Resource page with useful links and information on the ongoing Coronavirus crisis.
Still want to go out and play in a safe manner? Please reference
this short video for precautions you
can take to ensure a safe experience on the golf course.
