The coronavirus, or COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization.  COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact.  As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

The North Florida Section, PGA of America (“NFPGA”), has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the NFPGA cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19.  Further, attending and/or participating in NFPGA tournaments and/or events could increase your risk of contracting COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.  While rules and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious illness and death does exist.

In consideration of being allowed to attend and/or participate in NFPGA tournaments and/or events, the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that:
