Tag Challenges will take place monthly on the last Saturday of the month.
New members will receive their tags when they register or at the monthly challenges.
Automatic Challenges (AC)

At all singles leagues and tournaments, tags will be surrendered to any Club Staff member and will be returned by score order after the tournament. Basically, any singles tournament is automatically a Bag Tag tournament for ALL club members in attendance.

Casual Round Challenges (CRC)
DGNEGA members may casually meet at a course OR agree to meet at a course/time to compete for bag tags in:
• Head-to-Head (me vs. you) challenges.
• Group Challenges, where multiple players each put a Bag Tag at stake during the group round.
• Members may not deny a challenge and then proceed to play a round (see forfeiture).
• Any Bag Tag holder can announce a course and time they are playing and put their Bag Tag “up for grabs”. Any Bag Tag holder can show up and participate in this “up for grabs” challenge. Each participant will surrender their Bag Tag at the start of the round and Tags will be redistributed after the round based on the final scores. Any ties will be broken via CTP.
