Simulator Rules
We encourage all players to use their own golf ball. We do have balls if you choose not to.
If you choose to use your own golf balls, use balls free from markers, mud, dirt, etc. This is not a good mix for the screens and could cause damage and/or sensors not picking up.
No cleats to be worn in the simulators. The turf is not designed for cleats and will rip/tear.
No food or drink to be brought into the hitting area or on/near the computer. We have an exceptional setup for appropriate food and drink consumption.
Only hit from the designated hitting area, could cause damage to the simulators or sensors.
Payouts
Prize pool of $100 per team will be added and paid out to the top three (3) teams in the league.
The more teams = more payouts, and the amount of the pool will be made known to all players at season start.
Payouts will be cash, and will always be broken down to:
1st place: 70% of the pool
2nd place: 20% of the pool.
3rd place: 10% of the pool.
If an excessive amount of teams register, the league could be flighted for best competition.
Flights will be made known to all players before season starts.
Optional Skins pot will be available for those who are interested.
Cost for skins is $20/person which breaks down to $2 per week.
All skins will be monitored/calculated on our GLG app for transparency.
Skins will be paid weekly back in cash.
The more players = the more skins.
Chip Shots is an entertainment facility, and our number one mission is to provide the most fun experience for all. We frown upon throwing clubs, damaging equipment, and especially aggressive behaviors towards others. Just relax and grab a beer. This will not be tolerated.
Have fun!
