Open Drill Registration & Cancellation Policy

  • A minimum of one player must be registered by 6:00 PM the evening before an Open Drill for the drill to take place.
  • If fewer than three players are registered, the drill may be shortened to one hour at the regular drill fee, at the pro’s discretion.
  • Players may cancel before 6:00 PM the evening prior without being charged. Cancellations after 6:00 PM are charged the full drill fee.
