Yes, though stopping at a tee box before the 18th hole is recommended. Never quit after hitting out-of-bounds without selecting a drop option, as this corrupts the save file. GSPro will save your progress, and you can resume the round later. Make sure to complete the round before the tournament deadline.

Certain tours enforce eligibility restrictions. Disqualification indicates unmet requirements. Common reasons for DQ include:

• Not meeting tour-specific handicap requirements
• Missing the round submission deadline
• Not being a member of the required subscription tier
• Tournament-specific eligibility rules not met

Details are available at simulatorgolftour.com/tours-explained.
