  If the applicant wishes to proceed after the introductory round, the Committee will provide an application form, which may also be downloaded from the CAREgolf website.

  The completed application form should be submitted to the Committee in accordance with the instructions on the form.

  4. Consideration of Applications

  Applications will be considered by the Committee. During the process, the committee, proposer, and applicant should be kept informed of the progress of the application where appropriate.
