The shop needs to send Maine Golf vouchers back to the Maine Golf office for reimbursement in a timely fashion. The Maine Golf has no way to know whether the player ever redeemed the voucher at a pro shop if it doesn’t come back to the Maine Golf office for reimbursement. Typically it will take Maine Golf a week to 10 days to pay the shop for vouchers submitted for reimbursement. Every year, a small number of vouchers issued to players do not find their way back to Maine Golf office for reimbursement. At the end of the golf season, Maine Golf identifies vouchers issued the prior calendar year but not submitted for reimbursement and removes them from the voucher system by transferring those amounts to the Scholarship Fund. After that, a pro shop cannot be paid for an old voucher.
