In amateur golf is it illegal to give a small money prize for a golf competition?

Can cash prizes be awarded to winners of golf competitions if they do not amount to large sums?|||Cash prizes cannot be awarded. Travel expenses to an event sponsored by a golf organization as well as lodging, air fare and board are acceptable in retaining the players' amateur status.|||errr....


I think the limit may be 300 quid, but i wouldn't recommend trying.


give out expensive gifts and receipts!


they can either keep them or sell them back.


E.G my club gave out vokeys! I lost on countback!!!!


give out a driver and a bag|||It is allowed but there is a limit. I'm sure a phone call to the R and A would tell you what the limit is.|||Prizes in amateur events are limited to a value of 拢500.|||Under 300$. The prizes, can be worth up to $10,000. If you accept larger amounts, you lose your amatuer status.|||Why tell?
