$100 to play Champlain...
I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

Like none of us have ever played for a looney or a tooney or won a door prize or closest to the pin or buying the next round of drinks or winning a golf club etc
Where my handicap is sitting at as we speak I do not have to worry about that.
Come on. I just posted this because someone might be interested. No need to jump all over the place.Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

In amateur events you can win up to $1000. On the RCGA web site amateur status is explained.

If the money could be considered informal gambling or wagering it would be OK for one wishing to retain amateur status. $3164 for first place is considerable coin. Not what I'd call "playing the game for the enjoyment". The problems here are highlighted.
Acceptable Forms of Gambling
There is no objection to informal gambling or wagering among individual golfers or teams of golfers when it is incidental to the game. It is not practicable to define informal gambling or wagering precisely, but features that would be consistent with such gambling or wagering include:
- the players in general know each other;
- participation in the gambling or wagering is optional and is limited to the players;
- the sole source of all money won by the players is advanced by the players; and
- the amount of money involved is not generally considered to be excessive.

- the players in general know each other; Most of the guys playing in this will know each other...
- participation in the gambling or wagering is optional and is limited to the players; it is optional, you don't have to play in the event...
- the sole source of all money won by the players is advanced by the players; and
- the amount of money involved is not generally considered to be excessive. Is $1000 each excessive? According to the RCGA it isn't.
What's up with all of the kill-joys? Most of the guys complaining about it don't even play in RCGA sanctioned events. Lighten up and have some fun. I understand if you have plans to go to the Canadian Amateur you may want to make sure things are ok.Last edited by marcf; 04-02-2009 at 11:09 AM.

Agreed...plus the money is in envelopes so there is no evidence of earning money anyways...PLUS they don't post stats or results anywhere.
