Which dates should I be aware of?
One season is the period from one final tournament to the next. Usually the finals are in September, so one season would be from September of one year to September of the following year.
The cut-off date for the qualification to the final tournament is about 2 to 3 weeks before the final tournament. Please refer to the tournament calendar. Tournaments which take place after the cut-off date are counted towards the score of the next season.
The period of notice is three weeks (21 days) before end of season.

Only after we received your payment, your participation is renewed.
How do I know if I am participating?

How is my score and my handicap administered?
- If you played at a tournament in an Austrian Golf Club, your score will be registered automatically.
- If you are playing at a tournament outside of Austria, please make sure, that your name on the tournament registration (starting list at the respective Golf Club) is spelled exactly the same as on the Strawberry Tour scoreboard (player's list). After a tournament please check that your score is reflected in the Strawberry Tour scoreboard. The Strawberry Tour administers their scoreboard, however your handicap is administered by your home Golf Club.
To determine which handicap-group you are in, your handicap at the day of registration for the Strawberry Tour is used, which does not change during the season. At the individual tournaments you always participate with your current handicap at that day.
