To all trustees:  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be sure that your members who participate in WSWPLA tournaments know that it is THEIR responsibility to know when their tee time is and that they should be checked in at least 15 minutes prior to that!!!!  The breach of USGA rule #6 is disqualification.  Yes, there is the option of granting leniency by the "committee" and assessing a 2 stroke penalty to the first hole, if one starts within 5 minutes of the stated tee time, and I did generously opt for this due to unusual circumstances at Canyon Lakes.  The starter delayed the start so that the involved persons could be taken to their tees.  In doing so, some players started before the horn blew, thinking that they didn't hear it. If you read the decision below, not knowing the time is NOT a reasonable excuse.  The start times are posted on the signup sheets and on the website, and I see no excuse for not knowing!  It also holds up the Tournament Director and her assistant from getting to their tee boxes on time.  Truly, you should be at the course an hour before the start of play so that you have time to check in, get your equipment ready and warm up. Thanks for your help.  Please remember that we do play according to the USGA Rules of Golf!
