Value of a single share 1.65% (1/total # of shares)

Full travel subsidies would apply to those who are identified as team members (top 3 plus the alternate) in Provincial Competitions. 

  • A. Players who fill available teams’ spots but were outside the official “team” will receive a 1% subsidy.
    Funds will not be redistributed if all team spots are not filled unless it is extreme in nature (say only 50% of the spots are filled). 
    Golf NL will advise players at the Players Meeting prior to the competition as to the estimated potential bursary which may be available that year.
    Players will be open to use the subsidy for any portion of their event that they choose however proof of registration and attendance at the event will be required
  • B. players will be provided the subsidy once proof of registration is provided.
