Prizes in NIMAGA tournaments consist of prize certificates which are redeemable at many pro shops and sporting goods stores throughout the Chicago area (Who Accepts NIMAGA Prize Certificates). The prize certificates are distributed at or are mailed out after each tournament. Generally, about the top 30% of the entrants in each division receive prizes. The number and amount of prize certificates awarded in each tournament is determined by the number of entries in the tournament. In addition to a prize certificate the winners of each division receive a plaque commemorating his achievement.
The NIMAGA board strongly recommends that each NIMAGA member report all of their adjusted scores
(excluding NIMAGA Tournament and Match Play scores) within 24 hours after the round has been played.
The minimum number of scores must be reported prior to the CDGA revision date. Prizes and eligibility can be found on each Golf Genius event portal .
Any member who does not meet the foregoing requirements for a tournament will be eligible in that tournament to win no more than a $20 minimum prize certificate.
New Members
A new member is eligible to win no more that a $20 prize certificate in any NIMAGA
tournament until the handicap being used has a NIMAGA tournament score reported to CDGA
(Note that NIMAGA reports all Tournament and Match Play scores to CDGA).
