The Roanoke
Valley Senior Golf Tour is accepting new member applications for the
2022 season. Please note the Tour may already be full for regular members.
If slots are not available,
the applicant may be offered an
Alternate slot on the Tour. Please
review complete
information
about
the Alternate
Program before submitting your application.
The Roanoke Valley Senior Golf Tour
is a competitive association which requires players to adhere
to the RVSGT
Rules of Play. These
rules parallel the rules of the
USGA, the main exception being that we allow players to lift,
clean and
place their ball in their own fairway. You play the ball
as it lies elsewhere on the
course unless a specific
USGA rule provides relief; or, unless the committee has declared a
local rule. Failure to
comply
fully
with these rules will subject players to disciplinary action by the
committee, including tournament disqualification or suspension
from the Tour. Please click on the links below to review the
rules and handicapping procedures before submitting your
application.
The Application has a check box to participate in the Virtual
Medalist Division. Please read the information on the MEDALIST DIVISION
page before checking this box.
The Application also has a check box for eligible players to
play Forward Tees which, on average, are 600 yards shorter than
the standard senior tees. The player's handicap is appropriately
adjusted to play this tee, usually 3 to 5 strokes. This option is
open to players 75 and
over (as of 7/11/22), and to players 70 and over (as of
7/11/22) whose age plus Rounded Handicap Index is 90 or
highter. The 70+ option
is not available to new applicants not having a verifiable VSGA/USGA
handicap index.
