Tournament Registration

Tour players can register online for Regular, Playoff, and Major events at www.TheGrintTour.com. Events may have a limited number of entries available. Therefore, each event will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Tour players are encouraged to register early, as any event may sell-out in advance of the entry deadline.

Payment Policy

It is the responsibility of the TheGrint Tour player to submit the required entry fee for each tournament prior to the entry deadline, as payment will be the only means by which to secure a position in the tournament field. Entry fee payments should be made via the TheGrint Tour website using a credit card, but may be paid by other means (i.e., Venmo, Paypal, Zelle, etc.) with the permission of the Tour Director(s). When your payment is received and registration is complete, an email confirmation along with a receipt will be sent to you.

Referral Credits

TheGrint Tour members may be eligible for a referral credit when each referral’s completed Tour Membership registration. The credit is good for any future Tour event(s) beyond the current event in which the referral was validated. The referral must not have been a prior Tour Member, or have played in any previous Tour events. A referral credit will only be given when the new Tour Member enters the referring member’s email at the time of their new Membership registration. Be sure to know and enter the proper email your referring Member has on file with TheGrint in the search box when prompted during your registration. If the referring member’s name or email is not found in the search box, please seek assistance by emailing Tour Director(s) via the “Contact Us” link on our website’s Home Page. All referrals will be reviewed and verified by Tour Director(s).

Credit Redemption

Any online credit to your TheGrint Tour account is redeemed automatically when you register for a tournament. Credits will not be eligible to be applied to an Early Bird tournament registration fee. Credits can be applied ONLY to a regular Member Price.

Non-members will not be eligible for credits. Credits can be redeemed when they become a member, you will have five (5) days after the event to become a member in order to redeem them. If you $don't, you lose those credits.​

Referral and Tournament Credits will expire 120 days or 4 events after being awarded. Credits can only be used on the Local Tour where the member earned them, or at National Events.

Credits by Refund will not expire.

Cancellations and No Shows

If a Tour player who has registered for a tournament withdraws more than 7 days before the date of that Tour event, they will receive a credit for use in future TheGrint Tour events. Withdrawal from any tournament must be done no later than 3 days before the date of the event. If a Tour player withdraws prior to the tournament, they are subject to a cancellation fee plus any additional fees or green fees from the hosting golf course. Any Tour player that has registered for an event and does not show to the event or fails to make contact with the Tour Supervisor on the day of the event will forfeit their registration fee and may have their player privileges revoked for future events. All withdrawals must be communicated to the Tour Director(s) by email or text. The timestamp of the communication of intent to withdraw will be used in consideration of any fees or credits depicted in the policy stated previously.

Late Arrivals

If a registered Tour player reports to their first hole’s tee box after their playing grouping has completed their hole #1, the player will be disqualified from the event and not allowed to play.

Shortened/Cancelled Events

If a tournament is unable to be completed due to circumstances beyond the Tour committee’s control, a decision will be made according to how many holes the last group of a given flight finished, and base the results on those holes played.

In the event of inclement weather during a round, every effort will be made by the tournament committee to get in the full number of prescribed holes. If play is delayed, all players should remain on the property at the host facility and await official announcements from the tournament committee. If the delay comes during play, clearly mark their ball’s position on the course, return to safety at the clubhouse, and remain on premise for further instruction from the Tournament committee.

By entering any TheGrint Tour event, you are agreeing to be photographed or filmed while practicing, playing or participating in any stage of the event. TheGrint and TheGrint Tour reserves the right to use these materials for media content creation. i.e., Social Media, informational purposes, marketing, and such.
