Selection Criteria

The KZNLGA squad and all teams to represent KZNLGA shall be selected by the Executive Committee in accordance with the team selection policies as published by the Association from time to time.

Eligibility:

A player may only represent KZNLGA if she has been handicapped in KZN at an Affiliated Club for a period of no less than sixty days prior to selection, and the Affiliated Club, where the Golfing Member is handicapped, is up to date with all their Affiliation Fees and Levy payments.

A player may only represent KZNLGA if she is regarded as a South African national. 

Players who are Golfing Members and studying at college or universities outside the Province or South Africa, are eligible for selection, subject to the Executive Committee being informed of their study programmes and progress thereon.

The Executive Committee reserves the right to include 2 players as “wild cards” who might not, at the time of selection, be eligible in terms of the selection criteria. 

Selection:

WGSA rankings together with the KZNLGA Order of Merit are the main guidelines for selection. 

National, Provincial and Regional tournaments are included in the above rankings. 

Players are required to a have a minimum of five counting rounds, participate in the KwaZulu Natal Championships and play in a minimum of three National and/or Provincial and/or Regional Tournaments/Championships.

The following criteria will also be taken into consideration for selection:

 • Past performance in representative teams.

 • Current form and format of event to be selected for.

 • Ability to add value to the team.

 • Attitude and behaviour of the highest standard and consistent respect for the etiquette of the game is essential. This factor will be a major consideration in selection irrespective of the player’s position on the ranking list, as these players, in addition to becoming role models for many other aspiring golfers, will have the honour of representing KZN.

Club Championships rounds are taken into account where these have been provided to the Secretary and President. 

All monthly medal scores are to be returned timeously by the player to both the President and Secretary for record keeping.

Penalty rounds will adversely affect selection. 

The decision of the Executive Committee is final and the committee in relation to that decision will not enter into any correspondence.
